I wonder what Erlang/Elixir would be, some kind of nano-bot hive mind?

Malbolge would be a bioweapon and you're patient zero

Definitely ancient since C# has been cross-platform for 4 years with Dotnet Core. If you include Mono, make that 19 years.

still waiting for some of these memes to include haskell...

Haskell is the "words as a weapon", a heavy book that nobody really understands but is great to thump heads

haskell is an intricately designed laser gun that you cant shoot it without a learning group theory and lambda calculus

Hey now! PHP may be old and a bit clunky, but it gets shit done. I'd say PHP is the Colt repeating rifle, since PHP won the internet and the Colt won the West. Much like the Colt, there are better tools available today, but if you want stuff done reliably and quickly, PHP and the Colt are good choices.

Rust is correct. Mostly ignore as useless, but is the safest and reliable weapon, on a good hands can hit someone hard and kill it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Rust used to be correct in 2014 when this was made. It's pretty fucking good, now

That hose got me a company and many good jobs, still loving the hose to build.grrwt projects. I love my PHP

Since my father makes anywhere from $400-$1200 an hour coding in COBOL, what's COBOL?

Nice seeing Mathematica and Lisp mentioned. I feel like Marvin the Martian after reading.

If you're going to make these "If programming languages were X" jokes, at least be a little bit creative with them.

It's an old sharepic, they didn't make it.

PHP is a sturdy club. You aren't going to take over the world with it but you can reliably put a dent in something.

I learned perl to make IRC bots and to customize bulletin boards in the late 90s, early aughts.

I owe a lot to that language as it impressed a woman with my skills in it. I got my first marriage and eldest son out of it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Funny. I learnt perl to make an IRC bot. I didn't even get a tee shirt, let alone a wife and son

Way too kind to Java. Otherwise, pretty accurate.

(I just hate Java. Lol. Despite writing it 40 hours a week.)

ADA is an F-22 Raptor. Effective and functional, but you can't have one.
