Looking to general use is unideal, you should use the language best for what you want to doWell there's a reason it's called general use… because many tasks can completed under those languages. Any language with a large and competent ecosystem can fall under the general-purpose paradigm. Most languages for general use can solve problems developers face.
Of course, if you have an edge-case like blazingly fast speeds or memory safety, you should look to languages which are tailored for such tasks, like Rust or Zig or something
needing speed isn’t an edge, it’s the whole side.

javascript is better in my eyes. python tricks you into this weird syntax where there are no brackets or anything and everything depends on indentation. that is a TERRIBLE precedent to set for beginning programmers; even lua is better at this. at the end of the day though c# is better than both of these combined

There’s nothing wrong with using indentation instead of brackets except personal preference.

Agreed, python is good for what it's intended for. I much prefer ‘standard’ syntax, if you will (brackets).There’s nothing wrong with using indentation instead of brackets except personal preference.

I prefer brackets because it's easier to see where loops and statements are. Indents do enforce better code style, but might not be better for everyone. Python does have other benefits, though.javascript is better in my eyes. python tricks you into this weird syntax where there are no brackets or anything and everything depends on indentation. that is a TERRIBLE precedent to set for beginning programmers; even lua is better at this. at the end of the day though c# is better than both of these combinedIf anything, idents should be preferable over brackets because they enforce better code style.

Indents do enforce better code style, but might not be better for everyone.Many C-style langs end up incorporating indenting styles through formatters (Prettier, clang-format, rustfmt, go fmt, etc.), so I'd say brackets and indents are equally good.

yk any c-like language is easier to learn for jsers.
i tried learning python but then I realized how much I love my semicolons.

You can loose tabs through copy and paste VERY easily. It is hard to accidentally lose curly braces.Yeah, that's a good way to put it.Indents do enforce better code style, but might not be better for everyone.Many C-style langs end up incorporating indenting styles through formatters (Prettier, clang-format, rustfmt, go fmt, etc.), so I'd say brackets and indents are equally good.

More reason to use IDEs with multi-line indenting/dedenting.You can loose tabs through copy and paste VERY easily.

(To be fair, this is still sort of a thing with braced languages, though it's mostly just style and doesn't affect it functionally)
I guess at least it's better than having a single brace break your code (though does this really bother anyone?)
