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.

How do you tell a dog to walk? "Dog, walks!" or "Dog, walk!"

[–] alias_qr_rainmaker@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago (3 children)

i'm not telling the dog to walk, i'm describing it walking

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

But the dog can fail to walk before he ever walked, so you're not describing him walking, you're telling him to start walking.

Python is not a descriptive language, it's a commands based language.

Go do functional programming if you want to describe instead of command.

Transpiling python and describing stuff when actually you are commanding is overly backwards and stupid, but I'd not expect anything else from a 4chan post. XD

Python is an imperative language.

which was a mistake
