@sabrinaesaquino

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.

[–] Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 51 points 5 days ago (6 children)

C++, lawful good

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

Ah, template code.

[–] Kissaki@programming.dev 4 points 4 days ago

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

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

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 21 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Haskell is where hope and sanity go to die.

lisp wants some words with you about that

[–] sudo@programming.dev 6 points 5 days ago

I wouldn't call lisp "lawful".

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 53 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Some of those color choices were chaotic evil too

[–] dosuser123456@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 5 days ago

i didnt make the template

[–] mmddmm@lemm.ee 40 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

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 5 days ago* (last edited 5 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.

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

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

I love python.

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

[–] twice_hatch@midwest.social 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

C++ good? Shiggity diggity

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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 4 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 4 days ago (2 children)

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

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 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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

[–] SatouKazuma@programming.dev 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

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.

I would have put assembly as true neutral

[–] ThirdConsul@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 days ago (9 children)

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

Whats DIS?

[–] dosuser123456@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 day ago

esolangs.org/wiki/Dis

tldr: malbolge wimpmode

[–] uuldika@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 days ago

It appears to be Dis thing right here.

Apparently it's a nerfed variant of Malbolge. Malbolge is literally cryptographically difficult to program in, while Dis is merely migraine-inducing.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Given how python tries to be as readable as possible with its controversial stance on using indentation, is it really neutral?

Idk if moral alignment makes sense for languages, at least not as much as weapon metaphors.

Where is lisp?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Replace maybe C++ with Haskell.

[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I would have put Perl as lawful evil, Brainfuck as Chaotic Evil and maybe ASM should have been Neutral Evil
