Is C harder than Python?

The syntax of a C program is harder than Python. Syntax of Python programs is easy to learn, write and read. In C, the Programmer has to do memory management on their own.

Should I learn Python or C first?

Speaking as someone who mainly codes in C and Python, I would recommend Python for beginners. Python has an easy syntax, error messages are helpful and you don't have to deal with all the gritty details of C that will only make it more difficult to understand the basic concept of programming.

Why C is faster than Python?

C/C++ is relatively fast as compared to Python because when you run the Python script, its interpreter will interpret the script line by line and generate output but in C, the compiler will first compile it and generate an output which is optimized with respect to the hardware.


I have experience with both .NET(5yrs) and Python(1yr) and I want to create a simple web project with Twitter as the backbone. I have experience with AppEngine, and have always wanted to try Azure. I'm going to make extensive use of sending and parsing tweets from lots of users at a time, and since I've set a short deadline for this I'd like to take the shortest path possible. So does anyone have any experience with both of these, or have any advice?

A quick look at the twitter API libraries(http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Libraries) gave me this for python:

  • python-twitter by DeWitt Clinton. This library provides a pure Python interface for the Twitter API.
  • python-twyt by Andrew Price. BSD licensed Twitter API interface library and command line client.
  • twitty-twister by Dustin Sallings. A Twisted interface to Twitter.

and this for C#:

  • Yedda Twitter Library by Yedda. Every Twitter API method has an equivalent .NET method in this wrapper library.
  • TwitterooCore API by Eric Willis/RareEdge Design Group. Binary .NET library that can be used in any .NET project.
  • Twitterizer originally by DigitallyBorn, but now open source. Written for .NET 2.0.
  • tweet# by Daniel Crenna. "100% coverage of the REST and Search APIs".
