Isn't time for you to go to bed?

nein

@Legiondude is there a reason you have to use Visual Studio?

seems like it'd be easier to just code in python in something like Visual Studio Code

I'm most familiar with VS

And it's the only setup I've got on my box that has a compiler

you coding on windows?

if you use python you don't need to worry about a C++ compiler, and you'll be able to write code a lot faster

you don't need to worry about all the low level junk

I don't have experience with Python, thus the problem

There's an equivalent library for C#, but the documentation for that hasn't been maintained in some time

python would be a good language to learn if you get time

what do you use to compile python anyway?

nothing!

lol

wot

you never get compile errors 😃

.....

all the bugs happen at runtime

the way God intended

Python is all dynamic. It requires extensive runtime support, like Java or C#.

If you restrict what features you use, you can compile into a native program, using RPython.

"Restricted Python"

Then you can do silly things, like PyPy. It's a Python implementation written in Python. And it's faster than the standard Python interpreter.

Cython is probably the fastest way to do Python, though it's a little different.

Python written in Python <:think_madpepe:378717098630971395>
But what about Python written in Python written in Python written in Python written in Python?

Sounds silly, but it's legit. Performance very close to C code.

Because it's far easier (for Python programmers) to write a Python interpreter in Python. PyPy also supports stackless Python, and a JIT compiler (which is what gives the extra performance.)

have to pick OS Template for virtual private server( idk what OS template means)

should i just go with windows?

@M4Gunner What are you setting up the VPS for?

general use/educational--I was going to work on coding some personal or business webpages and set up a Doom or Quake server

also WTF service is that, there's distros that are way out of support on that list

of those the easiest to use for that would be ubuntu 16

Windows server requires licenses and isn't very easy to manage remotely

you may want to just set up a server on a spare machine if you have one if you aren't used to remotely administering things through SSH or things like that

true, have spare PC but space is an issue

for what you're proposing I'd say ~8GB of HDD space would be enough to set up a basic install

not sure of the load of a doom or quake server but you could actually do most of that on just a raspberry pi with an ~8GB or 16GB SD card

wouldn't be fast but you could do it
