@vwbusguy@mastodon.online C is still “high level” in that it doesn’t 1:1 produce specific instructions like low level languages like assembly do, but yeah the abstractions are a lot more intense in stuff like python. Personally I’d say python is more the modern “perl” than the modern C though. Rust and go are dlang’s more popular younger brothers

@raptor85@mastodon.gamedev.place Python is BASIC and C had a baby.
@raptor85@mastodon.gamedev.place Perl is a cat that got ahold of C’s yarn and now there’s bits of string everywhere.
@vwbusguy@mastodon.online python is just verbose lua made by someone allergic to punctuation and formatting.
@raptor85 It’s kind of the opposite, IMO, since Python was older and Lua was trying to fit somewhere in the space around Python, Perl, and Ruby.
