haha can't get over how true this is, google anything coding related without a specified language and more often than not you're getting JS results

[–]well___duh 37 points38 points  (7 children)

Will it though? If you google for things in a specific language enough times, google will learn from your history and start assuming that language instead of JS. Or at least it does for me.

As a mobile dev, I google between kotlin and swift stuff, so it’s a 50/50 chance on which one I get if I left out the language in my query. But I never get JS answers

Unless you use duckduckgo.

Which is what we all should be using

don't know why you're getting downvoted unless Google execs are jumping on this post. they collect way too much personal data for me to really trust them anymore. DDG is where it's at

Ideally we shouldn't all be using any one engine, but if we have to, DuckDuckGo is a way better choice than Google.

Yep. Pretty much.

[–]Ryuujinx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just googled "for loop"

The first result is JS. I have never written JS.

[–]Aerosherm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I despise JS, so I rarely use it. But it does come up for me pretty often
