[01:23:38] <calamitous> It changes when you're programming for people who aren't programmers.
[03:00:59] <wholesomedonut> calamitous: that is very true. It's why i love Python as a programmer but kinda wonder why it exists as someone who understands CS in some level.
[03:01:53] <wholesomedonut> Because as a programmer that just wants to do stuff in higher runlevels Python is amazing. But the fact that it's basically written on top of another middle-level language to abstract away some of that lower level stuff for the sake of ease of use.... I feel like I lose touch with -why- stuff works the way it does if I never actually see it.
[04:12:00] <timemachine> woot, just got my pi-hole set up...finally.
[04:13:01] <timemachine> it might be my imagination, but browsing the internet seems faster.

[18:39:19] <michel> wholesomedonut: wait, Python (at least CPython) is written on top of C though, right? that's quite low level to me

[23:46:58] <wholesomedonut> michel: yeah it's written on top of C. That's what I mean, though. Instead of writing in C you're already putting a whole new set of syntax and standard library stuff on top of it. Python itself can reach high and low in terms of runlevels, depending on how you use it.
