handing my friend a screwdriver

"You can use this for simple crafts and home repairs"

Me, backing away from the screwdriver in terror

"Nice try, but I know what that is. They use that thing to build the Space Shuttle."

Nah, give me that Fisher Price Baby Screwdriver that's easy to use and cannot build a space shuttle.

are you sure python is a screwdriver? Its not the all new AI-driven Smart screwdriver that requires an account, wifi connection, and for you to input the name of your project before you can use it?

alright, if python is a regular screwdriver, what is C? a single iron filing?

edit: I'm starting to doubt any of you have ever used C

The bar metal used to make the screwdriver

Two sticks you can rub together.

screwdriver that's awkward to hold

[–] rain_worl@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

it has some sharp edges that you can accidentally get cut by

when python breaks, it's just the screwdriver that's harmed, but if c breaks, there's a miniscule chance that it could cut you
