Python was a horrifying language choice for this project. It's really neat too! Beautiful title.

was a proof of concept, nice to prototype in: maybe someone implements the algorithm in other language if they want; i meant to add some extra batch options on it but the project has been there sleeping in my hdd for years it seems, anyone utmost welcome to do what they want with it without mention/credit

thanks for the feedback Minerscale! <3

It's not really the speed or efficiency that makes python a terrifying choice it's the byte level manipulation of files, python does it's absolute best to make it a pain in the ass to read files on the byte level ahhahahaha. C in comparison will just do it for you. With python you need a god damn library to even start!

the downside of interpreted languages, in contrast with their machine code counterpart :3 🐉

C also requires a standard library to read a file 😳 the
char *fgets( char *buf, int n, FILE *fp );
and
size_t fread(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, FILE *stream)
comes from it :3

i dont see the issue with needing a library, if its doing the job for you and probably even gives u more functionality on how to parse the file.
why re-doing something if someone else already did it for you?

with python, you can pretty much focus on the algorithm and efficiency without the need of managing the whole memory on ur own all the time etc etc

the library is needed to make programs portable; it takes care of interfacing with operating system kernel API; using the C standard library more or less guarantees the code keeps system-agnostic where possible, and takes care of correctly interfacing with operating systems kernel that exposes corresponding API for I/O tasks
