- Ruby is elegant
- C is essential
- C++
- Java is robust

PHP is old
Same age as Ruby, Java and JavaScript, but younger than Python, C, and C++. 😛
I’m guessing they meant “old” as in “no one uses it anymore, it’s dead”
Meanwhile PHP quietly runs 80% of the internet by being used for WordPress.
Don’t tell my bosses that. Or the PHP community as a whole for that matter. Then I might have to get a real job.
I’m sorry. If you exclude the millions of sites using it, it is virtually unused.
Actual definitions (my opinion):
- HTML is website
- CSS is style
- JS is everywhere
- SQL is data
- Python is simple
- PHP is backend
- Markdown is README
- YAML is config
-
Python is

Ruby is

Compiling term v0.1.0 (/home/james/projects/Term)
C++ is std::__cxx11::list<std::__shared_ptr<table, (__gnu_cxx::_Lock_policy)0>, std::allocator<std::__shared_ptr<table, (__gnu_cxx::_Lock_policy)0> > >::erase(std::_List_const_iterator<std::__shared_ptr<table, (__gnu_cxx::_Lock_policy)0> >) /usr/include/c++/12/bits/list.tcc:158
The only reason to use AI in programming is to simplify C++ error messages.
Rust is downloading 1546 dependencies
I’ll happily download 63928 depends so long as it continues to work. And it does, unlike python projects that also download 2352 depends but in the process brick every other python program on your system
If you’re not using a venv for python development, that’s kind of on you
Good for you. Not all of us have terabytes of free space on our computers.

JavaScript is powerful
Old joke (yes, you can tell):
“JavaScript: You shoot yourself in the foot. If using Netscape, your arm falls off. If using Internet Explorer, your head explodes.”
what about Holy C? is it only usable to people that are actually god choosen programmers?
It’s racist
Calling Terry racist is ableist. He was very much equal opportunity, applying the hard r to pale white CIA agents (imagined or otherwise).
You are right he was egalitarian in that.
I also have it on good authority that he had a black friend which gave him the N word pass.
There was an adjective for C++. It’s just the pointer was dropped.
C is powerful. Javascript is a husky midwestern gal at a Chinese buffet.
ITT: Rust programmers rewriting the joke in Rust.
Java is robust haha
Mfw Rustaceans don’t exist :(
Also, JavaScript…why are you the way you are? Does anyone have advice for learning it so it makes sense? I can’t even get tutorial projects to run properly…
- Rust has safety and efficiency close to C
- Perl is processing most of your healthcare records
- Ada is doing space stuff
- Go is going places
What happens if I run paint splatters through OCR? Hmmmmm that random output looks like Perl. Holy shit it is Perl!
This actually happening is one reason I love the internet.
The only reason I use C++ is because that’s what all the main audio plugin tools use. It’s warty and annoying, although I’m confused why Java would rank higher
So we just ignore JavaScript being on that list at sll?
I shit on JavaScript for years… but Deno (built around Rust) is honestly one of the most pleasant tools I’ve used for development, and you get all the completion in VS Code.
Just accept it, all languages suck
“There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.”
That’s why Haskell is so loved. Nobody uses it.
I love how after a decade pandoc is still Haskell’s “killer app”. smh
I mean to be fair, that’s a pretty useful tool.
C++ is… I got nothing.
C++ is inferior to Rust and should be used in no new projects unless it is absolutely necessary
Are those adjectives randomly chosen?
Yeah, JavaScript powerful? How?
good luck doing frontend development without it, but it can also do backend development
it can do everything
C++ is a surprise CVE generator.
