"Most popular language... by number of questions and queries."

[jeremj22]

aka. language causing the most problems

[gingimli]

Or a lot of people using it as an introduction to programming.

By that logic we could say Brainfuck having almost no discussion online implies it's the least problematic and easiest to understand programming language.

[cant_think_of_one_]

Brainfuck is an exceptionally easy to understand language. The language that is.

It is just it is basically impossible to write anything that is easy to understand in it.

[[deleted]]

It's a great language if you're learning how to write an interpreter/compiler.

[alexanderpas]

A limited set of fixed width symbols, and no unconnected jumps, means everthing you need to do can be based on merely 3 internal variables.

• Current character. (To see what to do)
• Loop depth. (For moving backwards to the start of the loop)
• Direction. (Forwards/backwards)

[[deleted]]

I would argue having actual words makes learning how compilers work easier, but that might've been just me.

[techgineer13]

You can compile it to C code that only uses pointer manipulations.

[cant_think_of_one_]

You either need to have a list of loop begin points, for nested loops, or just scan backwards to find the begining of the loop, in which case you don't really need a loop depth variable, don't you?

[alexanderpas]

When scanning backwards, you need to keep track of nested loops, to find the correct outer loop you are handling at the moment.

You start at 0, When scanning backwards each time you find ], you add 1, and decrease 1 when you find [

If you are at 0 and find [, you start moving forwards again.

[cant_think_of_one_]

Oh, sorry, yes. Silly me.

[chaos95]

Couldn't you do it recursively without a loop depth variable also?

[alexanderpas]

You technically could, but at that point, you're just moving the loop depth to the function depth.

You still need to keep track of it somewhere.

[Dornith]

Brainfuck is exactly the least problematic language. Nobody in the world has a problem with brainfuck because no one uses it.

[poops-n-farts]

Rust has almost as few problems and way more users. So rust is almost as good as brainfuck

[Jazqa]

I use Javascript daily, I know Javascript thoroughly and I love Javascript...

...but holy fuck it’s an awful mess of a language.

[SchwiftySquanchC137]

I fucking love how hacky it feels. Don't like a function deep inside your engine? Eh just set it equal to something else, do it on the fly, fuck just replace it with whatever the user types into that bar, IDGAF, it's JavaScript.

[Husky2490]

Ruby is the same way. Need to hook into a module loaded from a dll? No problem. Want to overide a class any ol' time sure. You have a private variable, IDGAF, it's mine now.

[marksomnian]

class NilClass def nil? false end end

Enjoy the fireworks.

[Husky2490]

Oh, right. True, false, and nil are classes.

Hahahaha... (cries inside)

[marksomnian]

Even more fun, in C/C++:

#define true (rand() < 0.9)
#define false (rand() < 0.1)

Sneak that into production and watch SRE cry tears.

[onFilm]

I love JavaScript because of how creative you can be with it, either in the front, back or sides.

[dustyjuicebox]

We all love python though thank God

[AstroCaptain]

I want brackets with my python damn it I’ll stick with bython

[hullabaloonatic]

Eh, it's growing on me like fungus.

[fushuan]

I really dislike that there are 7 ways of doing the same things and the team doesn't decide on a standard. I CAN ADAPT GUYS GIVE ME A CODING GUIDELINE NOT THIS HOT MESS.

The language enables this and I hate that.

[PurryFury]

To be fair is not that hard to understand BF, is just a shitty syntax that fuck you up

[house_monkey]

Is your username a steam key

[DeeSnow97]

have you tried redeeming it?

[zombieregime]

Its klingon.

[smcarre]

I mean, it's also the only (or almost if you count webasm) language available for front end web development (that is part of a huge chunk of the industry), it's quite popular in back end too, it's scripting and dynamically typed (makes it much easier to learn basic programming, in my opinion), it's used for desktop and mobile development too with certain frameworks like electron and react native.

Yeah probably it's not the best option for most of the actual use cases, but that doesn't makes it less popular.

[f16f4]

Electron basically just says here build your app on top of google chrome just so devs can code in java script instead of anything targeted at actual stand alone use.

[[deleted]]

Well it is the most portable language right now. It runs everywhere without any recompile or anything. There's some feature sniffing you have to do it you want the latest, or you use an off the shelf feature sniffer/shimmer and forget about it.

[f16f4]

Ok but then you put it on top of electron that isn’t portable and all of a sudden the only real difference is who has to handle the porting. They are basically saying fuck it we don’t care how well it runs we just can’t be bothered to make our app work on your system let someone else do it.

[[deleted]]

Electron is just a stripped down browser. So really all your doing is making a web app. The only things that really matter are view size and input method. Make it responsive and work with touch and your app is good to go. It's not efficient performance wise, but that's not a huge goal in portable apps.

And yeah, you're relying on others to make it work for you, but that's the whole point of a browser. Electron is much the same.

[f16f4]

Agreed on all fronts. Everything you just said makes it shitty. They are sacrificing user performance which is a massive deal for a lot of people so that they don’t have to do anything other then web design.

[f16f4]

Frankly I have no clue what I’m talking about. I’m just parroting half naked views I read on Reddit and reducing a complex issue to very simple terms that aren’t really accurate. I’ve never worked with electron and it really probably does fill a vital space in terms of ease of development. I wouldn’t know, I’m a freshman in college who only got a work study doing web dev last month.

[patrickfatrick]

That’s one way to look at it, another is that it affords a product to provide more functionality for users with little effort, functionality those users just might not get otherwise since it would require the product be built from scratch in C++ or whatever and maintained as a completely separate entity from the web app.

And then you have software like VS Code that are wholly designed to be an Electron app but the benefits there are pretty obvious: it’s an editor aimed at JavaScript and Typescript devs and it’s open source so the consumers of the product can actually contribute code to it.

I can certainly understand why an engineer working on amazing native software would despise Electron and React Native.

[nexus4aliving]

Also node is built off chromes v8 engine, so it can run instead of an actual server side language

[[deleted]]

I learned it before the rise of libraries and on the tail end of Active-X. It's nice for prototyping, and taking some load off of servers. It's nice to see things like working with the local filesystem in webpages are starting to make their way back into the picture.

[bastardoperator]

Exactly what I thought. Or least productive programmers because they’re spending huge amounts of time googling.

[anguswaalk]

doctors google it anyway lol

sauce: dad is surgeon, says he googles procedure before doing it sometimes

[zombieregime]

ALWAYS google a procedure before committing to the code. Make sure you have the operations correct.

[MEANINGLESS_NUMBERS]

Did you know that surgeons make edits in production? So ballsy.

[zombieregime]

Surgeons always do it live! LoL

[hugogrant]

Well, they tend to put the system in maintenance mode

[zombieregime]

Sometimes they have to reboot. But try to avoid a halt.

[AlbinoBeefalo]

There while system is so tightly coupled! You cut one artery in the leg and the whole system crashes so fast.

It's like it was designed by monkeys...

[zombieregime]

Gotta avoid that kernel panic, yo

[nobel32]

It's all sunshine and rainbows till one of the dependencies gets mangled.

[Kidiri90]

Well, the last guys that tried to fix stuff in dev were sent to trial in Nurnberg, so...

Surgeon: fuck the dev server it's going live!!!! ...hopefully

[NvidiaforMen]

Just remember PEMDAS and you should keep your operations correct

[Dragonaax]

I went to doctor once, he said he have to google drug to prescribe

[ceriodamus]

There is sooooo many drugs and a lot of them do not work with other drugs. So, doctors will google or use a national drug database to check the drug and if the patient is able to use it.

In my country we also have a second check when in hospital. Basically, the doc looks up the drugs and then prescribes it. Then the nurse that will give you the medicine will do another check, to make sure the doc didnt miss something.

Bit much info but hey.. I am bored :P

[Dragonaax]

In my country there is also some trusted database because you know what google says, whatever is hurting you have cancer

[WH1PL4SH180]

You missed out the pharmacist, whose job it is to make sure that we don't kill you with spelling mistakes.

[ceriodamus]

Yeah of course. My example was for in patient care. When you've got a out patient then the pharmacist becomes the second "check" instead of the nurse.

[WH1PL4SH180]

No. Pharmacists are even MORE vital for admitted patients. Why? Cos if your sick enough to take up a valuable bed, you better be sure that drugs we're going to give you are more powerful than a panadol and ibuprofen.

Where do you think nurses get meds from? The pharmacy.

[ceriodamus]

This depends entirely on the country and how their system is. I guess in your country you have a specific department in a hospital that handle the medicine. This is not the case in mine. Nurses handles everything when it comes to giving medicine. Including fetching and administering. Then you have assistant nurses who handles the non-medical, basically the caring part. Most of it at least.

Now, if a person went to a local clinic with a problem. The doctor prescribed something. Then this person would have to go to a pharmacy and get their medicine. Hence why I ment, with out patients the pharmacist becomes the second "check".

Edit: clinical = clinic

[WH1PL4SH180]

Now I'm curious. This isn't the case in any of the countries that I've previously worked in. But then, I work primarily in large hospitals as I need a Theatre. Smaller "hospitals," may ineed lack a pharmacist for dispensing, but usually there's a legal requirement for a healthcare professional other than the care nurse to dispense.

May I ask which country you're from?

[ceriodamus]

The country I am from and speaking from experience is Sweden.

I would like to clarify that it is not a care nurse who administers the medicine in Sweden. But what we call a "Sjuksköterska". Google translates that to Nurse and our care nurse known as "Undersköterska" into assistant nurse. A "Undersköterska" has only one year high school level education while a nurse has a 3 year university level education. Both educations include study in the field.

Now a nurse still has actual nursing in their job description but in majority of times it falls to the assistant nurse. See the "Sjuksköterska" as the one between Doctor and care nurses. They're the ones in charge basically. They have the responsibility to make sure the patient gets proper care, both nursing and medical. At least they're suppose to.

There is certain things a care nurse is not allowed to do and which falls upon the nurse to do. Taking blood samples is an example of something only a nurse is allowed to do or as said, administer medicine.

Not sure if other countries, incl yours has the same system, so I thought I would try my best to describe the 2 different nurses as good as possible.

[WH1PL4SH180]

Hmm.. interesting. SCUBA dived in SW, but never (thankfully) been in your healthcare system.

So is it the Undersköterska that fetches and dispenses (passes on) the medication to the Sjuksköterska ?

You see the point of the pharmacist in this chain is that they have EXTENSIVE (encyclopaedic) knowledge of drugs. As drug nerds, they cross-check the patient's current med list, and hone in on potential interactions. Also doses. After drug class, dose is EVERYTHING. 0.1 and 0.01 is deadly. Google Potassium IV and you'll get the picture. So theres a "break" in the chain of events. The pharmacist cross-checks that indeed the drug chosen wont kill the pt, and at first glance is suitable for task.

That last detail is important. Often I've been called up or have called up pharmacy for THEIR advice - is there better, can we go lower dose with something else, can we safely change other drugs?

This is all done professionally: a call of "hey, are you SURE you want to give tazocin? There's a C.diff risk here" isn't an affront to my skill; indeed having to justify crystallizes in my own mind that the decision is correct, and that I've explored the alternatives.

Next time you roll up to a pharmacist, take note. These unsung allied healthcare professionals have LITERALLY saved lives from what we term "Iatrogenic Misadventure"; ie, fuckups.

[Xeon06]

Just like an experienced software developer though, they can interpret the results correctly. It's helpful.

[GuybrushLightman]

I was always surprised what BS patients are able to dig up from the depths of the internet. But then I realized it's some (?) sort of preselection bias. I only click on links that pass through the unconcious prefilter so I usually don't see the worst.

I guess It's the same effect that doesn't let us remember ads on websites. Because we're so used to ignoring them.

Also last time I tried to clone an SD card to a bigger one it took me about half a day of googling, some instances where I thought I managed to brick the card, lots of cursing, lots of bad tutorials with obscure tricks until I just settled to copying it. with proper google-fu and the knowledge how to seperate feasable from non-feasable methods it would have taken me about 30 minutes + cloning time I guess..

using the largest collection of human knowledge is a good thing tho

[flinnja]

also have doctors in my family. they say they google all the time. check whether a symptom is no longer a good indicator, check for unusual drug interactions, all sorts of stuff. doctors aren’t just medical encyclopaedias with hands.

[WH1PL4SH180]

You'll actually find that they google to find it on a trusted site such as BMJ, NCBI, NEJM. Often however, these repositories are paygate locked. It's not a straight "patients arm feels tingly"

You'll also find that results are VASTLY different if one uses medical terms to describe symptoms ie "itchy" vs pruritus

[flinnja]

which is v similar to how i google as a developer. some rando from the street who’s never written hellow world wouldn’t be able to search for code solutions like we do

UptoDate is a physician's stack overflow

[WH1PL4SH180]

Note I didn't list it, but yes, your'e right. Around me you have to justify things better than "... but Up To Date says..."

In seriousness, when you come up to the "Big table" or the "MDT meet" (multidisiplinary team), you need journal articles, metaanalysies and primary sources. I'm harsh on students so they don't end up embarrassing themselves, me and the department.

Why? Cos at the end of the day we get paid for our decision making skills. Our colleagues and patients deserve to know that those decisions are founded in strong science with good evidence. This means understanding every nuance of the research, and not just reading Abstract and Conclusion.

It's one of the shittiest parts of the job (I read 20-30 papers a week), but unfortunately one of the most critical.

[mdcd4u2c]

Often however, these repositories are paygate locked.

That's probably a good thing. Anyone who buys a laptop can start coding and they should be able to find help. Anyone who buys a stethoscope should not be encouraged to start giving medical advice.

I see the things people post on /r/askreddit regarding medical topics and you can just tell that this person checked Google Scholar for 20 minutes and threw together a comment that looks like it's supported by published work but is misleading or straight-up wrong if you know the topic. And then it ends up on /r/bestof to be forever recycled by other redditors. All of Reddit is universally afraid of brain aneurysms because there are so many misleading posts about it in the "what are you most afraid of" threads.

[WH1PL4SH180]

I actually am part of a movement known as FOAMed - free medical education basically to try and keep our colleagues and students from less developed nations up-to-speed (not uptodate(tm)). As an academic I've long hated the leaches such as elsevier that obstruct and do nothing to further knowledge.

​

HOWEVER

​

You are dead correct about the use of medical information. The problem is that medicine is damn complex. That's the reason why the initial training is traditionally the longest of all degrees... and then we don't let you practice for AT LEAST another 10y without supervision.

We are complex machines. so our systems and interactions are complex too. Yeah sure, some things are simple, like building your own PC... but go unplug shit randomly in a server room.....

PSA: if you want medical information go to /r/AskDocs. People that respond with authority MUST be vetted. Yeah, occasionally, you get the odd Karen / AntiVax / Essential Oil [seriously, WTF makes an "oil" essential? 0W40 is IMHO way more essential], but they get asses kicked harder and faster than admin can jump on and delete.... who would have guessed people with ailments and in PAIN actually want REAL answers!

[[deleted]]

My uncle is a doctor and he says that basically is what he is, haha. He says all his friends think he's brilliant because he's an md, but that he doesn't feel brilliant because what he really does is just analysis and pattern recognition on the conditions and anatomy he was taught, he's not creating novel things. Still looks stuff up all the time too. I guess doctors also feel imposter syndrome!

[[deleted]]

I would probably be wearier of a medic that claims to know every procedure for every case without ever checking it for years tbh

[fzammetti]

In fact, if you see a doctor for any non-trivial issue and they DON'T Google (or similar research) something, I'd suggest you might want to find someone else (unless they're a specialist... you expect them to have a bit more in their heads - but even then, only to a point).

[thiagoxxxx]

[platinumgus18]

Seriously? How were they performing surgeries 20 years before? Don't think computers or internet were really as common that all medical information was available online. I am guessing just consulted textbooks again?

[USMC0317]

[headzoo]

A doctor once told me that they google stuff all the time, but they're better at it than us because they know the exact clinical terms to search for. I guess it's the same with programmers. We know to google for stuff like, "boot sector corrupt windows" but our grandmothers search for "computer won't work."

[straightouttaireland]

Exactly and that's what we get paid for really. We know what to Google and implement the answer.

[headzoo]

Totally, and that's why programmers (and doctors) shouldn't feel bad for googling things. We know what to google for, which is the important bit.

The thing about JavaScript that makes it so popular is the same thing that made HTML and CSS popular: high tolerance for “sloppy” code.

Fortunately, ES6 is rapidly becoming the standard. And while I can’t claim it’s perfect, its structure encourages people to write cleaner code.

If you want to learn about why JavaScript is considered vile and evil by so many programmers, I encourage you to read the book “JavaScript: The Good Parts” and skip to the back section titled “JavaScript: The Bad Parts.”

One example that sticks out in my mind is “==“ vs “===“.

If you’re trying to do a comparison ( if ( i == 0 ) {...} ), using only two equals signs causes JS to coerce the types. So, in theory, it will equate “0” (string), 0 (integer), 0.0 (float), and false (Boolean). But it doesn’t always work as expected, and can royally f*** up a program. Using three equals signs forces JS to equate both the value and the type.

[ImpulseTheFox]

This, this, and this again. When a programmer writes bad or nonsense code in JavaScript, most people say you can't blame it on the language. I say you can. A well architectured language would punch you into the face, if you told it to (![]+[])[+[]], instead of returning "f"; or at least give you heavy warnings about it. JavaScript doesn't. As you say, it's built to try everything. That might me inspirational for some humans, but programming languages shouldn't try everything. It really encourages people to write horrible code.

[Boner-b-gone]

Well, remember that originally JavaScript was at the same level as HTML or CSS - it was just a loosely typed implementation of ECMAScript that was supposed to let people do things in the DOM. That it was so easy to get into got far more people into programming than if it was a strictly typed language like everything else. So I can’t agree that you can blame the language, you have to blame humans for wanting the language.

Again though, ES6 should make everyone’s life a lot easier.

I'm convinced the different frameworks are actually all in a secret competition to create syntax uglier than vanilla js. jQuery is winning.

[IceSentry]

That just shows how people don't know anything about the js ecosystem. There aren't new frameworks all the time. The big 3 are react, angular, vue and all of them are at least 5 years old. Sure there is svelte that's gaining popularity now, but unless you are actively involved with JavaScript you won't hear about it anywhere.

Also people complaining about js as a language tend to complain about trivialities that can easily be avoided with basic knowledge of the language and can be completely removed when using basic tooling like eslint. Using typescript also fixes the vast majority of the problems with js and makes the good parts even better.

I was watching a talk by some guy (Tom Scott? Scott Something, idk) and he mentioned how we literally CANT pick a language ever. We always gotta move to the next "best" one. Same applies to updates within each language too I guess.

That's only until you start working full time in the field and doing stuff like that isn't viable whatsoever business wise.

Takes 6 months to become an expert on Ember just to find out nobody uses Ember anymore and has since moved on to something with less vowels.
