@jimgar@hachyderm.io @bmaxv@noc.social I am trying to design a class on analysing climate model experiments for early university students who might not be super comfortable with python or any programming language at all. ANY extra cognitive load is a massive loss because it's time I need to waste not teaching them about climate model output and more friction between them and getting cool and motivating results.

@jimgar@hachyderm.io @bmaxv@noc.social And even if this was my own project, having to write a whole function, having to think about for loops, preallocation and string formatting it's PITA to do for every single project. And this is a general issue that shows it's head everywhere in the language. There's A LOT of things in python that require the user to worry about these sort of low-level stuff.
