minus-squarePsilves1@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoI very much disagree. In Python almost everything is abstracted away from you and it’s dynamically and weakly typed. It’s also interpreted. Compare that to C which is literally one step above assembly, strongly and statically typed, as well as compiled. They’ve got completely different use cases and have almost no overlap imo.

Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !programming@lemmy.world/u/theherk) [@programming](https://programming.dev
