Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Also, almost all of that is written in C, which is a successor to B, which is a simplified version of the Basic Combined Programming Language. There was never an A.
Assembly.
Ding ding.
Is there a D?
Yes, but I'm not sure if we want to open the "programming language can of worms".
There's B, C, C++, C#, Objective-C, D, E, F, F#, F* and so many more. Also, they may or may not have anything to do with each other
But of course Java and Javascript are related /s
The number of job applications using Java as a shorthand for Javascript.....
I once had a C# dev tell me they couldn’t run JavaScript because they didn’t have Java installed.
Also I've read that C# is C++++ (like put those + on 2x2 table, which in turns ressemble a #)
Hahaha I've never heard that before. Seems legit.
C# was originally "Java: The Good Parts" but but these days it's a much more advanced language and runtime compared to Java.
As a dev who works on both Java and C# code, modern Java (17+) and C# feel almost exactly the same (not sure if Java has extension methods though).
Bonus points for using Kotlin instead tho. I dislike both Java and C# just because they both allow any object to be null and that's usually a headache whenever a null exception shows up.
The only thing I like better about C# is the Fixture library for testing. I haven't found any mature libraries like it for Java yet.
C# has nullable reference types now: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/nullable-references. If you enable it, you have to explicitly make reference types nullable (like
?string
) and you'll get build warnings if you try to use a variable that's potentially null.Of course. Great, another D in programming.
Yes. D is pretty awesome.
Though there was a programming language called A Programming Language. Not the A programming language. A Programming Language.
@mindbleach @waigl APL?
Yes, A Programming Language.
Which requires a space-cadet keyboard.
