Silly analogy time: Python vs C
After programming some months in Python, I now have to convert this program to C. I had forgotten just how low-level and primitive C is. Last night, this stupid analogy came to me: imagine you have a trough full of teeny wood shavings and iron shavings, all mixed up. (These represent the 1's and 0's.) Your job is to move all the metal shavings elsewhere. In C, you have a set of very fine tweezers, and you pick up the metal bits one at a time. In Python, you wave a magnet over the trough, and you're done.
