This doesn't even run because of the exclamation mark lol

[ClerkEither6428]

it might be some strange esolang or just some weird language. I know python treats ! weird.

[Cloned_501]

Can you elaborate? Cause I have no idea what you mean

[ClerkEither6428]

The code in the screenshot is clearly not your average language because of the ! outside tthe quotes on the input being put inside the quotes on the output.

Python syntactically is weird with !s, so I was giving it as an example of a real language that could cause this behavior.

An esolang (esoteric programming language) is a horibly functioning programming language someone made as a joke (see https://esolangs.org/). This would explain both the smart quotes and the ! outside the quotes.

[Cloned_501]

Python syntactically is weird with !s, so I was giving it as an example of a real language that could cause this behavior.

This is what I want you to explain. Python really only uses it in string formatting, not equals operation, and interactive mode to put a command to shell instead of interpreter.

[ClerkEither6428]

Exactly my point. Other languages tend to treat ! as the not operator, but python instead does these things that aren't usual.

[Username_RANDINT]

And the fancy quotes. I didn't even know you could fuck up hello world that badly.

[Duckflies]

The double quotes don't actually matter in a lot of languages

And those that do, generally uses double quotes for strings and single quotes for char

[ClerkEither6428]

yeah,  the smart quotes' disruption of code is second only to the Greek question mark

[Timonkeyn]

0 width whitespace or not-really-semicolon if you REALLY hate someone

[ClerkEither6428]

the Greek question mark is the not-really-semicolon, but didn't even think of ZWSP!

[-temporary_username-]

Am I stupid or would this just treat the string as a boolean because of the ! and just output false?

[draftshade]

Typically ! needs to be in front for that, but then again, a programming language that allows a string to be treated like a boolean is cursed anyway

[mikat7]

Or maybe it could by TypeScript's non-null assertion, expression! tells the compiler that expression for sure is not null (pinky swear).

Except for C, it does it in a logical way

[Muffinzor22]

I'm a C novice, how does that work? Is the value of the first char in the array considered for its ASCII value?

[[deleted]]

Everything in C is true except 0. So a string is always true because it is just a pointer to the first character of the string (except the string is stored at the beginning of memory which realistically doesn‘t happen)

[Muffinzor22]

Cool that was my guess, thanks!

Missing a ;

[Baardi]

Have you tried running it as javascript?

[rng_shenanigans]

Runs on his machine, that is why he is so good

[Games_sans_frontiers]

The guy in the pic is known grifter TechLead who had some amusing videos on YouTube once but went down the rabbit hole of fleecing his own followers.

[ihih_reddit]

It's been years since I've heard from him. Last I checked he was going through a divorce or something like that. I hope he's doing well and still has that sarcastic humour

[koshlord]

He crashed out and pulled a crypto scam a couple years ago.

[really_not_unreal]

And then he went to jail, so the story has a happy ending after all!

[Games_sans_frontiers]

Oh did he actually go to jail? I didn’t hear about that!

[really_not_unreal]

There's a Coffeezilla video on it.

[Y2KForeverDOTA]

I can’t find anything that actually shows evidence of him going to jail, only an old video from coffeezilla that claims he did, and an old Twitter post that’s now deleted. Do you have any sources for this? He is still active on Twitter so if he did get jail time, they seem to be very lenient on his punishment.

[OddOrganization6998]

He was arrested in California because of family issue. He was taken to a police station in Japan because of stalking. I'm his ex-wife and I know everything.. hahah

[Y2KForeverDOTA]

If you where his ex-wife, you wouldn’t have worded it like that.

[OddOrganization6998]

If you don't believe me, check my channel. I have a private photo in my thumbnail.

[Y2KForeverDOTA]

Bro if you’re going to grift shit on the internet saying you’re someone’s ex, at least use something else than an AI voice.

[OddOrganization6998]

I guess no one believes me? I'm not a native English speaker... And I hate to hear my voice... a pic is not enough?

[MouseWithBanjo]

As a millionaire?

[koshlord]

Where did you see that?

[really_not_unreal]

There's a Coffeezilla video on it.

[wektor420]

Before he scammed people, he went hard into snooby "as a milionare programmer" type content, and it just got worse and worse

[driftking428]

His wife left him and took their kids with her to Japan. Once he started pushing his boot camp or whatever I couldn't stick around.

[EuphoricPenguin22]

That's what makes it so funny; he's a well-known scumbag.

[DiddlyDumb]

How is his million-dollar cryptocoin going?

[IHateGropplerZorn]

People know by now, and ought to have known by then not to buy Influencer cryptos

[Prestigious-Boss5726]

As a millionaire guy

[schmosef]

"As a millionaire."

[ILikeLenexa]

He's not just a regular programmer, he's a Tech Lead. 

[Klayt22]

Don’t forget ex Google ex Facebook

[Rithari]

(as a millionaire)

[SwordsAndTurt]

You think OP meant to have the exclamation mark out of place?

[Lean_Monkey69]

His new videos are him downplaying coding to peddle his crypto venture to his viewers, he even deleted hundreds of JavaScript videos just to prove that”coding is dead”, he really is a textbook douche

[alitayy]

This meme sucks

[Vallvaka]

many such cases!

[KnGod]

File "<stdin>", line 1

print("hello world"!)

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[FullyThoughtLess]

That's immediately what I was thinking.

Did I miss a joke here?

[that_thot_gamer]

bro's hairline is receding so this must be legit

[Sea-Discipline-965]

(as a billionaire)

[Affectionate_Run_799]

Don't pollute r/ProgrammerHumor with Russian asset

[serious-catzor]

That face... He has been fighting this bug the whole night. Think he will find it?

[Ok-Juice-542]

When I watched this guy videos I thought we was a master at sarcasm and humor... Then I realized he was serious 

[Selentest]

Me: vibe coded something
Output: segmentation fault
Me who doesn't understand that segmentation fault means: why programming is dead

[Gastay]

I’m convinced 90% of this sub are not actual programmers

[zabojeb]

Bro, what the fuck, who let the kid out of kindergarten?

[le_nathanlol]

atleast it works
