   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.

  Show examples on the main web page. Try and find an AngelScript example. It's stupidly hard.

• Is there a type-theoretical difference between generics and compile-time metaprogramming?

  Check out D. It has Turing-Complete templates with specialised static if, static foreach, version, and debug constructs, all as statements and declarations, as well as more general quasiquoting expressions and declarations with mixin (yes, that is the same as Ruby's, Python's or PHP's eval, but at compile-time; in fact you can import() files at compile-time too and write a compiler in user code that compiles...

• 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 / 6 months ago

• Macropad with KMK
