why >>python is the best language ever for a hacker
because it's a scripting language with a live IDE
>>52161387
what about C ?
>>52161387
So do ruby and node, probably just cause it has better packages for it
>>52161431
c has to be compiled and requires more effort to use than python. python also has a massive and easy to use standard library so it's very convenient.
>>52161431
C forperfomace stuff
Its a scripting language with a lot of modules out there. Someone else already mentioned this.
>>52161335
It has better libaries, simple scripting language. Fast to make simple scripts and have reasonably powerful libraries for everything you need.
Basically: It requires less effort for what you are trying to do. You often just want to do one or two things, no need to write a large application.
>>52161431
C is a cancerous language only used by elitist fucks.
>>52161335
You can really quickly write a script that can interact with memory at a low level. There's a lot of scripting languages, but most of them can't interact directly with memory or it's a convoluted process.

> he doesn't know c
>>52161792
thats one way of looking at it
I can see Go heading in this direction if people start making packages for it.
>instant compile/run
>close to the speed of c
>in-file c code if you need
>still feels easy and concise like scripting languages
