python can do a good job at making you cuss sometimes. I'm just one of those people who try to avoid cussing in posts

For me it was Javascript, by far, but I haven't coded in many languages.

C definitely is a language that makes you cuss so many semicolons...
I like it because its fast but I hate coding in it

Really? Is it just extremly low level like ASM? As for JS, the issue was mostly because it was trial and error. Sometimes code that is supposed to work fine wouldn't and some syntax is really cryptic. JS seemed so sensitive on little typos and stuff and it doesn't help that each browser interprets it differently.

In college we had to do JS for 3 semesters and eventually I dropped out.

It's actually quite a bit higher than Axe is to TI-ASM.

Yeah, it's a nightmare unless you have the right tools. Chrome and Safari (and probably Firefox, but I'm not sure) have a JS debug feature that shows you what went wrong. It's been really useful to me ;D

Yeah back then we were stuck with IE 5.2 Mac (probably worse than IE4 and it failed to load most pages) and Netscape 4...

who wants to make it work?

Compiling Python? I'd think that's the only way to speed Py up.

there are a few projects that have speed boosts from 7 to 160 percent increase in speed. If you could make a compiler for python I'd be good that actually might help me a litlle I've been having problems with py2exe

C is like Axe for computers without the nice syntax. For example, this is valid code:

for(;P("\n"),R-;P("|"))for(e=C;e-;P("_"+(*u++/8)%2))P("| "+(*u/4)%2);

That's a particularly nasty example, but you get the picture.
∂²Ψ    -(2m(V(x)-E)Ψ
---  = -------------
∂x²        ℏ²Ψ

X.x, strange, I saw some less complex code before, I guess it has some complex stuff like JS then.

C can be very evil like giant commands compressed to one line

He gave a particularly complex example. You could also do pretty nasty stuff with Axe, though. Even worse than that ;)
