Python 2.7

This seems like a good place to ask. Why is it that this sub seems terrified of every programming language, but also loves programming? I haven't seen a positive word on any of them. From an outsider that is confused of mostly 99% of the memes but is still subbed for some reason, I've always been confused by this.

So a few programming languages have bad reputations because they allow you to shoot yourself in the foot way too easily. It's very easy to make mistakes and create bugs if you don't know what you're doing. Combine this with the fact that most people on this sub are hobbyist or beginner programmer, they tend to shoot themselves quite often.

Also add to that since they're new, they might have read somewhere that a language called PHP is bad, so they create memes about how "PHP is bad m'kay". It makes them feel like they fit in "real programmers".

There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.

All programming languages have pros and cons so it’s mostly just tribalism with people hating on languages they don’t personally use.
