How does python discipline the coder? By its syntax?
I have been programming in PHP for a while and I had no problems in
learning other languages. In fact learning other languages like java,
python or perl was very easy for me.
just because one can write code in a language does not imply that one is a
programmer. I am told that it takes at least 10 years of hard work to become
a programmer - I have been writing code for the last 22 years, but still do
not consider myself a programmer. Python and other languages enforce certain
practices that php doesnt.
One example is that one can embed php code in a html page which can directly
access a database/filesystem and nuke it. You cannot do that in python. There
are a few genuine programmers on this list who could surely give better
examples.
