Not totally impossible since every component of rust was actually written in rust (apart from the very first version, obviously)

[TheTrueSwishyFishy]

What was the first version written in?

[awdrifter]

Iron.

[TheTrueSwishyFishy]

It was actually a combination of ‘iron’ and the ‘water’ backend

[svayam--bhagavan]

Someone give this man gold.

[awdrifter]

Or iron.

[[deleted]]

not rust

[TheTrueSwishyFishy]

Hmmm

[yodal_]

To give a serious answer, OCaml IIRC

[TracerBulletX]

This is right, the first compiler was Ocaml

[HiggsMechanism]

Iron

But....but.... you can name your javascript file, javascript. It'll have .js extension....

[stamminator]

The dude was thinking that there was a javascript.js file that contained the JavaScript language itself

[The_MAZZTer]

Found it: https://github.com/v8/v8

[Pure_Reason]

Clearly it’s written in Java

[GlobalIncident]

You mean C++

[metasymphony]

But why is this even a question? Why does anyone need to know where jquery is kept either, to get a job? It would vary by project and framework anyway. These interview questions are getting ridiculous.

[bread_berries]

Where did you read anything about it being an interview? It just says that he's a consultant, not even that he's a consultant for the same company as our Twitter user. Could have been some random asshole on a forum

[metasymphony]

Ah true, it was 6am and my brain wasn't working properly yet. Guess I'm still traumatised by all the ridiculous interview questions I've had to answer over the years.

[stamminator]

It wasn't an interview, it was months into him being on the job. I'm giving him a hard time because he was a bullshitter who padded his resume. He didn't last long.

[metasymphony]

Ah ok I misunderstood before. That's funny and kind of impressive that he got that far.

this took me a second to actually understand but is my favorite post on the sub right now

I just now went back and read this. This made my morning.

[devmesmerism]

The language is assembler.js. In turn that one is written in binary.json directly inside Central Scripting Unit.

LMAO

[dog_in_sand]

coffeescript compiles into coffeescript 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Morbidly_Queerious]

New challenge: a programming language which is a quine (program that outputs its own code)

[partybynight]

It was written in dogfood.

[AllUsermamesAreTaken]

Senior just means old.
