Write To CSV C#

I can’t compare really - i understand c# also allows rapid development but it takes longer to learn and to type (more verbose)

I have noticed that Python seems a lot more compact, yes.

Both languages are great to learn. You can’t go wrong by picking one over the other. We will support both on this forum.

The iterations point is of great interest to me. Eventually I wish to code a form finding script which needs to be able to iterate. Take the last result as an input and repeat a number of times. Can both languages do that or just Python?

25

I am sure both. The limitation is surely more the user than the language.

The Rhino Python 101 is a great way to get started with Python and see some of the possibilities

Thanks man there is all I need very well structured and then some! Damn I love this community!

If I would start scripting again within the Rhino environment. I would start learning two languages at once, and this the option I provided my students when I was teaching. Its not wrong to write a script in two languages, because in the end both have more in common as you might think they have.It really is a great advantage to learn a dynamical and static typed language, because both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Let’s not start a fight over strongly-typed vs. weakly typed and static vs. dynamic languages on a CSV discussion! :slight_smile: In this particular case, it was best to code in C# as there was a code base that needed minimum changes – so rewriting from scratch was surely counter-productive.

We internally really like all languages we support, so it’s each user’s choice what they pick, and you can’t go wrong with Python, nor C#.

The CSV stuff is just a fire starter. The discusion itself is very beneficial to me really :slight_smile:

I think one aspect to consider when learning Python in the Rhino environment is that you deal with IronPython which is C#-Python. To get a better understanding about IronPython, understanding basics about C# is really benefical. This why I would learn both to a certain degree at least.
