[A Cueball-like friend is talking to Cueball, who is floating in the sky.]
Friend: You’re flying! How?
Cueball: Python!
Cueball: I learned it last night! Everything is so simple!
Cueball: Hello world is just print “Hello, World!”
Friend: I dunno… Dynamic typing? Whitespace?
Cueball: Come join us! Programming is fun again! It’s a whole new world up here!
Friend: But how are you flying?
Cueball: I just typed ‘import antigravity’
Friend: That’s it?
Cueball: …I also sampled everything in the medicine cabinet for comparison.
Cueball: But I think this is the python.

    FTFY.

        Back when I regularly used Java for Minecraft mods n shit id get shit like

        missing expected ; at line 68

        Then I’d go to line 68 in the editor and it and the 5 on either side of it are allllllll blank. Wonderfully helpful!
