How long from the time I power on until I print “mikestew is awesome.” in a loop in Python, on a fresh install of $OS? On an Atari 800 or Apple II, the answer is “how fast can you type two lines of code?”
- opening a terminal
- `python`
- `print "mikestew"`
The friction to get over is the Terminal ("You mean I have to type to get the computer to do something? Why can't I use my mouse?", and the situation if the above fails because you were using Python 2 or 3.
