    But the dog can fail to walk before he ever walked, so you’re not describing him walking, you’re telling him to start walking.

    Python is an imperative language.

    Python is not a descriptive language, it’s a commands based language.

    Go do functional programming if you want to describe instead of command.

    Transpiling python and describing stuff when actually you are commanding is overly backwards and stupid, but I’d not expect anything else from a 4chan post. XD
