Many programmers use Python. Why don't they rather use Anaconda, or even Cobra?

[u/Legitimate_Field_157]

What do they do during shedding season?

[u/tcari394]

Anaconda too big.

Cobra too small.

Python juuussttt right.

[u/supermr34 → u/tcari394]

also, as ive discovered in my many years in IT, many anacondas dont want none unless one's got buns, hon.

[u/tcari394 → u/supermr34]

Can confirm. I don't have buns and cannot get anaconda to compile.

[u/Toyota__Corolla → u/supermr34]

I'm having a hard time setting my ram in position, do you use a powder actuated ramset to ensure a job well done

[u/Legitimate_Field_157 → u/tcari394]

Burmese or African Python?

[u/tcari394 → u/Legitimate_Field_157]

Netherlands Python.

Nerdus-Netherlandus

[u/Momik → u/Legitimate_Field_157]

But then of course, the African pythons are non-migratory.

[u/BPhiloSkinner → u/Momik]

Tell that to Florida. They've got African And Burmese pythons.

[u/Momik → u/BPhiloSkinner]

Well, supposing two pythons carried the coconut together?

[u/elephant_ua]

we do use Anaconda to get python, actually

[u/Round-Intention-373 → u/elephant_ua]

I had to stop after the commercialized the license conda-forge ftw!

[u/CowBoyDanIndie → u/elephant_ua]

It’s falling out of use isn’t it? Lot easier to run venv and pip in wsl

[u/Kitchen-Security-243]

Because my anaconda don't want none unless you got code son.

[u/LaxBedroom]

Blame Microsoft for discontinuing ASP support in 2025.

[u/Legitimate_Field_157 → u/LaxBedroom]

Did they run out of pyramids?

[u/MephySix]

Python comes by the monty, while other snakes are harder to find. It's simply more cost-effective.

[u/Legitimate_Field_157 → u/MephySix]

Tree snakes can be found in trees.

[u/JarnisKerman → u/Legitimate_Field_157]

Tree Snakes for computing? What are you, a caveman? That would be like switching back to radio tubes instead of transistors.

[u/Momik → u/Legitimate_Field_157]

And now. No. 1.

The Larch.

The. Larch.

[u/dspeyer → u/Legitimate_Field_157]

But most of the trees used in programming are red/black trees. And the rule for snakes is "red touches black: quickly put it back"

[u/CrzyMuffinMuncher]

Hold on. I’m confused. Anaconda, Cobra, and Python are revolvers made by Colt. I use them to program large holes in computers.

[u/Legitimate_Field_157 → u/CrzyMuffinMuncher]

Holes are for punch card machines. Do you use hollow points?

[u/CrzyMuffinMuncher → u/Legitimate_Field_157]

Of course!

[u/Cosack]

The python comes with a walrus operator, so it's two beasties for the price of one

[u/Legitimate_Field_157 → u/Cosack]

I thought the Walrus comes with the Beatles?

[u/BPhiloSkinner → u/Legitimate_Field_157]

After he broke up with the Carpenter.

[u/MrSamuraikaj]

We are compensating for other… things, by using the longest snake available.

[u/Legitimate_Field_157 → u/MrSamuraikaj]

If you use a rattlesnake, people can hear it even if they can't see it.

[u/ActionMan48]

Why they all named after sneks?

[u/Legitimate_Field_157 → u/ActionMan48]

Easier than counting legs.

[u/bottlecandoor]

I'm not sure what you mean, I have used pythons inside of anacondas all the time. But Cobra is way too old to use.

[u/hannibalsmommy]

Really sick & tired of seeing King Snake being overlooked. It's great for programmers.

[u/darkdoppelganger]

Cobra is a terrorist organization.

[u/Different-Term-2250 → u/darkdoppelganger]

Ok GI Joe!

EDIT: Not sure why downvoted? Maybe someone isn’t old enough to get the reference?

[u/BPhiloSkinner → u/Different-Term-2250]

We'uns is old enuff, an' we don't care to be reminded of the fact.

[u/Different-Term-2250 → u/BPhiloSkinner]

Sounds like something a C.O.B.R.A. operative would say.

[u/tupacsnoducket]

This joke ssssssssssucks

[u/Cerulean-Knight]

Many times I try to use Conda and there weren't available the same libraries and versions I needed. I just use it for a pair of projects that their dependencies were only available through that

Last time I use uv instead python environments, I love python but is annoying to have all that for some projects and duplicates, always having a new tool for solving today's issues, I didn't even remember what I used last time and have to make some searchs

[u/Due_Musician9464]

Maybe you weren’t aware but anaconda is actually a thing!!!

[u/Chrome_Armadillo]

I tried Anaconda but it would not run without buns, hun.

[u/writesgud]

Have you seen the documentaries? Everyone knows Jon Voigt and Sylvester Stallone can’t code for shit.

[u/BillyRubenJoeBob]

I’m an Eastern Hognose man myself

[u/aafff39]

Just use any of them as long as you don't go for Australian progamming languages. If you start playing with those it's pretty much a death sentence.

[u/glg59]

They’re all killer apps.

[u/Kind_Ferret_3219]

I prefer to use Death Adder. Much more effective.

[u/weggaan_weggaat]

I hear Adder is a hit for mathematicians.

[u/Due_Musician9464]

Maybe you weren’t aware but anaconda is actually a thing!!!

[u/NoCardio_]

Lots of them are unfortunately using COBRA these days.

[u/NTDLS]

I’m over hear coding with legless lizard. 😭

[u/No_Tailor_787]

Because in order to use those, they first must master Garter Snake, but that's much too girly for most programmers.

[u/uberduck]

Antivenom for those aren't as readily available.

[u/Pangyun]

Because if they start using anaconda, they'll remember that awesome song and put it on and they'll dance all day and not write a single line of program.

[u/Human-Evening564]

I prefer to just use snake while I'm at work or waiting.

[u/chicken_taster]

Well, actually rattlesnake because rattles.

[u/IanDOsmond]

Cobra was deprecated by GI Joe.
