This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Welcome to python. your knowledge of me wont help you elsewhere as my syntax is purposefully obtuse and unique. Forget about semicolons, one missed space and your code is as worthless as you after learning this language.

People: Hello based department

Oh my god I got fucked by a python script once because of a single space. It took forever to figure out what went wrong

Python has its drawbacks but it also has a pretty useful standard library so as a language for small scripts, one can do much worse

It is possible to dislike both. For me SmallTalk-like languages are peak. Message passing for life!
