   I like Thonny

   I started an on-line python course that used Pycharm as its basis. I had previously used Thonny to look at code for various programs. I found Pycharm to be over-featured for a beginner like me. Thonny seems much more on my level so I am continuing the course using it instead. And successfully I might add.

  That's true for a vast majority of devs, but not for everyone. There are people like Jon Blow and projects like https://vlang.io. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• So We've Got a Memory Leak

  V uses a GC by default, but it's easily disabled per function/module via the @[manualfree] attribute or for the entire project via `v -gc none` https://vlang.io. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• V Language Review (2023)

  The creator of V made some big claims that raised a few eyeballs, they've gained a reasonable following over the years, have a pretty serious looking website (https://vlang.io) a beer-money level Patreon following and some corporate partnerships/sponsors. However have experienced some pretty brutal takedowns over the years, with some of the bolder claims about the language/compiler being exposed as being.

• Things I've learned about building CLI tools in Python

  Fingers crossed for vlang[0]. It's like golang with better types and more syntactic sugar. Feels like a proper upgrade from Python. I really hope they succeed. [0]: https://vlang.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Ah, Go, with its simple and straightforward syntax, where things just make sense (most of the time, before generics were added)

  And again a No true Scotsman. If that's the kind of attitude you have towards languages, you'll appreciate V infinitely more than you might be appreciating Rust. After all, it offers better solutions than Rust, like autofree, they just aren't there yet :). Source: 12 months ago

• Abstract Classes in Python

  Personally, I like to debug and step through code to see where I went wrong so I'm going to paste the code into my Thonny IDE. I like Thonny for small code challenges like this because it doesn't require setting up a whole project just to run and step through code. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Ask HN: Do you know any good coding platform for education?

  Thonny is designed speciffically for that purpose https://thonny.org . For beginners the main advantage is the easier install and maintainance, and the less intimidating/cluttered environment. IMHO it makes some decent tradeoffs, and it is an onramp for students evolving to VSCode or PyCharm when they feel ready. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Macropad with KMK

  I use the serial console with a tool like Thonny to debug KMK/CircuitPython code on my device. Running something like import main; main.keyboard.go() usually prints a useful error message. Source: 12 months ago
