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.
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?
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
well i did just get one of those
ah, ok, throw raspian on it if you haven't already
done
cool, you can ssh into it?
ill have to learn SSH
