It was mandatory. I’m glad I took it, but I’m glad it’s over 😂😂😂

Just look up how finite automatas work. You don’t need to understand turing machines or turing completeness

Great read

It’s often developers who never took a finite automata class who I’ve seen struggle with regular expressions.

It’s kind of like writing code in C while not understanding how memory management works

I very much disagree. In Python almost everything is abstracted away from you and it’s dynamically and weakly typed. It’s also interpreted.

Compare that to C which is literally one step above assembly, strongly and statically typed, as well as compiled.

They’ve got completely different use cases and have almost no overlap imo.

Literally just left lemmy.world because of how brutally slow it’s been
