From The Poetry Dept People use Perl to write poetry, but I haven't seen many Python poems.
Of course, Perl has all sorts of words that Do Useful stuff... even the following quick one-line Perl bit sounds vaguely poetic Writing the same in Python would look like: if eatFood != True:
return
That isn't very poetic at all, of course. (Note: Python if statements by default seem to test for existence, not truth. Something like that.) I'll be thinking about this over the next few days and post some poetry here (maybe even writing some of my own)... if you find good Python Poetry resources, post them in the comments... |
