Stop comparing programming languages

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.
Python is NameError: name 'term_to_describe_python' is not defined
JavaScript is [object Object]
Ruby is TypeError: Int can't be coerced into String
C is segmentation fault
C++
Java is
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot read the termToDescribeJava because is null at ThrowNullExcep.main(ThrowNullExcep.java:7)

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...
This meme is older than rust.
actually it says 8h meaning it's only 8 hours old
The mantra that got me through JavaScript was "almost nothing we do here is able to be synchronous".
Everything about the language makes more sense, with that context.
I like Douglas Crockford’s talks about the “good parts” of JavaScript. They’re old and probably a bit outdated, but he explain quite well the history and why JavaScript is the way like it is.
It clicked for me when I saw them the first time. Still hate JavaScript though.
Just accept it, all languages suck
"There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses."
ITT: Rust programmers rewriting the joke in Rust.
Are those adjectives randomly chosen?
Yeah, JavaScript powerful? How?
By running everthing in a single thread obviously. Won't get more powerful than that
C++ is OVERWHELMINGLY SUPERIOR, if you ask any professional C++ developer.
I was a professional C++ developer for several years, and came to the conclusion that any professional C++ developers who don't acknowledge its flaws have a form of Stockholm Syndrome.
This is true of every language. If you can't think of things you don't like about the language you're working in (and/or its tooling) you just don't know the language very well or are in denial.
I could go on
PHP is fine
i will fine you
JavaScript is also not fine.
C++ apparently has a lot of footguns if you use too many parts of it. C and orthodox C++ are fine.
There was an adjective for C++. It's just the pointer was dropped.
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."
C is powerful. Javascript is a husky midwestern gal at a Chinese buffet.
C++ is all of those, provided you pick any 10% of it.
You're not supposed to cast every spell in the evil grimoire.
C++ EXISTS
what about Holy C? is it only usable to people that are actually god choosen programmers?
C++ is focused on getting a strong degree of root control over the hardware of lots of systems. Which is part of why it's difficult.
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
