Stop comparing programming languages

Python is VERSATILE

JavaScript is POWERFUL

Ruby is ELEGANT

C is ESSENTIAL

C++

Java is ROBUST

Out of all the programming languages, C++ is definitely one of them.

[-] BlueKey@fedia.io 14 points 2 days ago

Python should be one of the chaotics.
You can even dynamically create global variables in there.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Or stick a new variable onto the instance of a class 🤯

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

or return values for properties that don't exist, and only get created on access!

I love python.

[-] ulterno@programming.dev 0 points 1 day ago

It's like having a PHP webserver inside a class

[-] BlueKey@fedia.io 1 points 1 day ago

Or have variables inside a loop hoisted up in the function. Fun when you capture them with lambdas.

C++, lawful good

[-] mkwt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Someday the concepts will come and fix all of this. It has been foretold.

[-] Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

Concepts are already here - (as of now) they fix a subset of this, and errors messages can still be extremely long.
They're less like "here's every single template parameter of the involved types" and more like "this template thingy has many specializations with different constraints, here's a list of all of them and why none of them are satisfied with your parameters"

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Ah, template code.

[-] Kissaki@programming.dev 4 points 2 days ago

Template-C++ is not C++ after all /s

No way Bash is lawful, or Malbolge is chaotic... And no way C++ is lawful either.

Did you just throw the languages around at random? At least Perl fell on the right place...

[-] backgroundcow@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

ADA should be the lawful good.

Bash is chaotic neutral.

Java is lawful neutral.

Javascript fits ok as chaotic evil.

Move ASM to neutral evil.

And maybe f77 as lawful evil.

C++ is chaotic goodl, C is lawful good in my opinion

[-] sudo@programming.dev 51 points 3 days ago

At no point should C++ be considered "lawful" or "good". Haskell would be the best.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

Haskell is where hope and sanity go to die.

C++ good? Shiggity diggity

Tell me op never did c++ without telling me op never did c++

I haven't used PHP in a while (10+years) but I didn't think it was that frustrating as its reputation seems to imply today. I remember their docs all had examples and I found that pretty useful.

[-] Matty_r@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago

It can be pretty frustrating when dealing with old code bases. However its introducing a lot of really great features, so if you've got the time to either start a new project or rewrite with the more modern features you'll be fine.

PHP has weird decisions but in the end it's a good back end

[-] Kissaki@programming.dev 5 points 2 days ago

I think the front and back end of PHP are pretty similar. They are both the same letter P after all.

[-] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 1 points 1 day ago

i needed to switch devices to get this joke, and man, shut up haha

[-] Colloidal@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

Ba-dum-ts!

[-] masterspace@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

F tier meme.

"Haha JavaScript sucks'" is the easiest way to spot someone who spends more time on programming subreddits then they do programming.

[-] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Well, JS does suck. It doesn't matter how much time I spend programming, this truth will stand

[-] Quik@infosec.pub 4 points 2 days ago

This but with PHP, kinda. It isn't my favorite language/really good, and at some point in time it deserved the hate, but it has come a long way.

[-] SatouKazuma@programming.dev 8 points 2 days ago

JS is just insane. Learning it took far more of my time than any other language, and honestly, I'm tempted to say it's not even a single language because of all the frameworks and non-standard libraries.

PHP has got a lot of new features in the language that makes it a little bit like c# now, so it's not that bad anymore :P

I would have put assembly as true neutral
