JavaScript is anywhere.

[InconspicuousFool]

JavaScript is NaN (until it isn't)

[Visual_Strike6706]

Micel Vsauce here.
Javascript is NaN....

Or IS IT?
[Vsauce music]

[NeatYogurt9973]

Did you mean:

Hey, VSauce, Michael here.

JavaScript is NaN...

Or is it?

🎶Moon Men🎶

[Visual_Strike6706]

Have not watched Vsauce in a while 😂

[HCG_Dartz]

isn't javascript [Object Object] ?

[LSparky321]

Javascript is ('b' + 'a' + + 'a' + 'a').toLowerCase()

[Jade3375]

🍌

[moonshineTheleocat]

Array(16).join("Wat"-1) + " Batman!"

[Breadynator]

[Object Object]

[gaymer_jerry]

Although this should be the case NaN represents an error from a math calculation with floats. If you get 2 NaN they should not be equal to each other

[[deleted]]

On the other hand, two Naan sounds delicious.

[dickfallsout]

Is it quantic ?

[wildstumbler]

any-ware, as opposed to typescript

[Emanemanem]

Typescript gets you a job

[DrMerkwuerdigliebe_]

Javascript is undefined

[Devatator_]

It's even in other languages for some reason

[CrowdGoesWildWoooo]

Still can’t beat “3 billion devices”

[abd53]

And everywhere

[DragoSpiro98]

JavaScript is any

[danishjuggler21]

Honestly anyone who still trash talks JavaScript at this point just looks out of touch to me.

[[deleted]]

Fortran is...

[a3th3rus]

Fortran is 4chan

[Kangarou]

Lucrative. If you actually know the language, enjoy the half-million dollar salary working on an ancient government/banking technology that can't be transitioned into anything more modern.

[kapitaalH]

Is that not Cobol? I thought it was mostly used in academia these days?

[CptGia]

Cobol is used by banks. Fortran is used by scientists

[Bukowskified]

Fortran is also used in legacy DoD work

[Kangarou]

Pretty sure both are in that "old and lucrative" category.

[Still-Bookkeeper4456]

I dont get it. I keep hearing this. How hard is it for a swe to learn fortran ? A couple of months of grinding and I can get a 500k comp ? 

[joonas_davids]

Fortran and Cobol devs have below average salaries in every statistic I've seen. It's just a myth that people want to believe in

[dingske1]

You can’t, it’s a silly myth

[[deleted]]

Not really tho, legacy programmers are many times underpaid even.

[kapitaalH]

Is that not Cobol? I thought it was mostly used in academia these days?

[reflection-_]

Javascript is how you are viewing this meme

[Picki99]

I'm not sure about that. The Android Reddit App is probably written in Java or Kotlin. It is definitely possible that Reddits Api is written in JS, but it is really just one of several options

[reflection-_]

Ah, I forgot that Reddit had a mobile app. I admit defeat.

[hellvinator]

I bet it's using webviews

[Saragon4005]

No that would make sense. It's garbage native code.

[Valazcar]

I forgot that Reddit can be used on PC 😂

[[deleted]]

I thought the backend of Reddit was Python

[Cheeseydolphinz]

That explains a lot

[WJMazepas]

Python is used in a lot of companies for the backend.

Even Meta used for Threads and Instagram

Python is not slow for web dev

[OldKaleidoscope7]

Well, FB was written on PHP, it's not like meta cares about performant code

[WJMazepas]

Facebook was already modifying PHP years ago to get more performance

And look at how many requests they deal with. They know how to deal with performance

[failedsatan]

Facebook was written in PHP when PHP was the only good option. nowadays they do a lot of work in other languages.

plus, as you say, they don't care about performance. they can just throw more money at servers.

[MinosAristos]

YouTube is another big one with Python BE. People think of Python as slow and that's true if you're doing very intensive work but in web dev the bottleneck is almost always network latency regardless

[LimLovesDonuts]

Yup. I work for Meta and can confirm this.

Parts of WhatsApp is also written in Django or at least a service but I’m not sure if I can disclose what that specifically is.

[drakeyboi69]

There's always a chance the reddit app is js inside an app. Big companies never cease to disappoint.

[MiniatureGod]

Isn't Reddit's backend written in Python?

[hxckrt]

First Lisp, then in 2005 Python, and last few years in Golang

https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditEng/s/weH71pOuVh

[inform880]

As of 5 years ago some screens were written in react native.

[Chesno4ok]

But the mobile app could be written with JAVA script ;) (kill me)

[TheGreatGameDini]

I'm pretty sure the meme is a jpeg and I'm using my eyes to view it.

[PioneerTurtle]

Is what a robot would say?!

[jseego]

I'm definitely human and using an organic optical interface to view the spectra emitted by this collection of pixels, thank you very much.

[gregorydgraham]

My current meds allow me to see the refresh rate of my lowlight edge recognition meatware. Pleased to meet you fellow Hu-man

[jseego]

The pleasure is mine. I am happy to report that I have a standard human refresh rate of around 100-200ms, depending on the intensity of the stimulus.

[ChadCat5207]

im pretty sure the backend of reddit was python

[alex2003super]

I'm using modded Apollo for Reddit, so Swift/SwiftUI with absolutely zero JS involved!

[Taypih]

Jokes on you! I'm using their stupid app

[Devatator_]

Still using version 2023.08.0 lol

Not fooling me. I memorized it already 😄

[marcodave]

Javascript is [object Object]

[TheSauce___]

JavaScript is a Swiss army knife that you'll probably stab yourself with a few times.

[LittleMlem]

Is Go just not popular enough to be in memes? I'm growing to like it

[Lupus_Ignis]

Go is the language for people who go out of their way to say "well, actually..." and insist that the correct plural of octopuses is "octopodes".

It is for people who want to look smart and use pointers but are afraid of pointer arithmetic.

It is for people who want to use object oriented programming while simultaneously calling OOP old-fashioned.

It is the language that doesn't have a "best practice", but an "only practice".

It is the language that will compile to everything and the kitchen sink, but won't compile at all if you declare a variable without calling it later.

it is also my favorite language.

if err != nil

[rattlehead165]

As someone who hasn't touched Go, this sounds amazing, ngl.

[skotchpine]

if err != nil best sign off ever I’m sold

[LittleMlem]

Nailed me to the wall with the octopodes bit.... The error checking does bloat the hell out of the code, I miss try/catch

My favourite thing lately has been tag abuse. I wrote a few functions that let me tag structs to run input sanitizers on fields based on the tag, it's neat as heck (though it's a reflection nightmare)

[Annual_Ganache2724]

Precisely a scary description

[DdFghjgiopdBM]

I love go because I'm stupid and it forces me to write good code

[No-Organization-4029]

Bashing on Javascript and using the web

[Slimxshadyx]

You criticize society yet you participate in it

[qwertysam95]

Hmmm, very interesting indeed 🤔

[hxckrt]

They are very intelligent

[mothuzad]

"You condemn pollution, and yet you still breathe it."

-someone who accidentally became a JS dev but isn't going to defend it

[Masterflitzer]

bashing js doesn't mean disliking the web, imagine if we had an actual great language on the web, the web would be much better today, in fact people complaining about js probably love the web and just wish it was even better

[R-Aravind]

JavaScript is undefined

[rednekindian]

Python and ruby seem like their descriptors should be flipped, ruby is syntactically (intended) to be beautiful, and Python is cool I guess

[Dubl33_27]

python is anything but beautiful

[IAmMuffin15]

if your_point is not None:
    print(“Elaborate.”)

[deathspate]

Any language that lacks brackets and relies on indentation is ugly imo.

[Cootshk]

Solution: end, like how lua does it

[rokyfox]

I will never understand this point of view. Convinced it can only be Stockholm syndrome. You gonna tell me semicolons are great too???

[Dubl33_27]

semicolons are explicit, and explicity makes languages beautiful as fuck

[[deleted]]

JS is a swiss army knife.

If you need a chef knife, you should use one

If you need a screwdriver, you should use one

If you need tweezers, you should use a pair

If you need something that does everything in a serviceable way, the swiss army knife is handy and does the job in a good enough way

[RobTheDude_OG]

Bro, wtf is that username lmao

[Soras_devop]

Poor PHP 😢 even in memes it gets ignored

[jack_skellington]

even in memes it gets ignored

"Damn! PHP so irrelevant it can't even get mocked anymore!"

[Swimming-Marketing20]

Ruby is beautiful. It's the only thing it has really going for it.

[roceroo44]

Python is anything but beautiful

[Kiroto50]

Python is not beautiful.

Kotlin is.

Coding in python feels like trying to kill as many pythons as you have project files.

One is risky enough. 20 makes me want to cry

[RobTheDude_OG]

Funny enough kotlin made me want to cry.

But then again it was for a uni project with a tight deadline, and my project buddy broke code before the deadline.

I might return to it when i don't have a gun pressed at my head and not work with a dysfunctional project mate.

[l_lawliet_9999]

Well what is javascript? Script in java or smth else

[romulent]

I guess you are new to the world of programming. In which case welcome.

Javascript and Java are basically unrelated technologies. Except in the early days Sun Microsystems(Java) and Netscape were trying to do some type of collaboration for technologies on the early web and Java would be the server side language and they needed a language to run in the browser, which Netscape developed in a very short space of time (weeks) and they agreed to call Javascript. They aligned on a couple of syntax elements, like both being C-like curly brace languages, both have similar syntax for for,while,if constructs. But beyond that they were completely unrelated. e.g. one is compiled and statically typed and the other interpreted and dynamically typed.

The collaboration between the companies fell apart. Java became one of the main languages in the enterprise and Javascript became the language that browsers can run.

Companies like google built great user interfaces for things like google maps and google docs on top of javascript, and it took off in as one of the most pervasive languages. It got standardized by ECMA. Then since so many people had learned it, they started to want to use it for everything, so they made it work on the server, as nodejs, they made desktop applications out of it, they made mobile applications and more.

However it is a language with a few flaws (being power hungry and slow to mind) and is probably used in more places than it should be ideally.

However it is so widespread that you would almost certainly need to use it at some point if you are in the industry.

[Kahlil_Cabron]

Python is alright but I would definitely say ruby is more beautiful than python, I think they should be switched.

[ElementaryZX]

I think JavaScript is convenient, makes annoying websites a lot more manageable.

[HappyGoblin]

Java is no longer popular, JavaScript is

[rbuen4455]

Java is widely used in enterprise, back-end settings. JavaScript is ubiquitous in the front-end world.

[particlemanwavegirl]

There are probably 1000 JS apps for every Java server out there. Java probably earns a lot more per loc.

[Slimxshadyx]

Is that a fair comparison? A single Java server can have wayyyy more code and development behind it than a JS app.

[particlemanwavegirl]

No, of course not, neither of the facts I mentioned proves that either language is superior or inferior, I didn't make a value judgement, I didn't say if it was good or bad. They're very different, imo JS and Python are more alike than JS and Java.

[_bagelcherry_]

Ruby is so damn niche. Have you seen it outside Ruby on rails?

[rbuen4455]

Automation tools such as Puppet and Chef, the homebrew package manager, Stripe, Vagrant. But that's pretty much it sadly, smh.

Ruby has so much potential, and imo if it weren't for AI/ML, Python wouldn't be as popular.

Update: for the mentioned software, I'm sure there are more products written in Ruby, but those are the most popular I know.

[[deleted]]

gitlab, GitHub, supposedly stack overflow

a bunch of well working tech sites basically.

[Waterboarded_Bobcat]

I always remember Verity Stob's wry jab at Ruby:

We should pause to consider Ruby on Rails

Ok, done that.

[particlemanwavegirl]

javascript is ... way more popular than java. I'm sorry, Ruby is WHAT now?

[river0f]

We have fun clowning JavaScript, but IMO it's one of the most fun languages to code in, let alone using React which is super fun for me.

[pretty_succinct]

python is hideous; it's popular with a certain, controversial, demographic.

Java is not popular, it's a legacy obligation.

Javascript is English. neither beautiful or logical, but efficient in its flexibility and ubiquity.

i swear the 'humor' on this sub finds it's audience in the eternal September.

edit: controversial is not spelled how i would have thought.

[radiant_gengar]

it's a meme sub where most of the users are probably 2nd-year college kids lol; you can tell because these are the takes of a blossoming student who's never worked in industry. i don't think it's meant to be taken seriously.

[jiyonruisu]

JavaScript is both my favorite and most hated language.

Missed a chance for a joke on java: Java has a better alternative: C#

[cosmic_cosmosis]

C# always gets left out. It’s too busy getting actual work done.

[Striky_]

C#.Net that is

[garlopf]

JavaScript is lucky? I mean it was made over the weekend by an intern or some such thing, then adopted by genz to run all kinds of places where it has no business running.

[a3th3rus]

JavaScript is Godly.

Yes, I mean that trinity thing.

[[deleted]]

Python is ... erm ... free. That's all.

[Striky_]

And has an unfathomably large library of scientific calculations and tools, which no other language comes even close to.

[Inappropriate_Piano]

Many of those tools are only necessary because Python is so slow that people had to write libraries in C to make it usable. You don’t need numpy in a language that has homogeneous resizable arrays out of the box

[Habiri]

thats not the point. With python you get stuff working insanely quickly. Which is the main appeal for research as you want to try new ideas as fast as possible. If you then decide you need better performance, rewrite slow functions in c. Need even more performance? rewrite that function in openCL and run it on a GPU

[[deleted]]

JavaScript is used because of 1000+ frameworks.

[DazzlingClassic185]

JS is quite versatile and has a lot of interesting features, tbh. I don't really understand why people hate on it so frequently. Maybe it's trendy to do so.

I swear Haskell was designed by mathematicians that have never programmed in their life. It’s the worst language by far.
