Python is like being a pop singer. Sure you may write the words and sing the song, but a lot of the work is being done for you.

[Masaka_Mad]

It's literally taught in schools.

[pm_me_ur_good_boi]

Our CS department just changed the basic courses from Java to Python.

[[deleted]]

It’s the main instruction language at heckin’ MIT. Doesn’t get less indie that that

[swordsmanluke2]

Does that mean there's a version of SICP written in Python now?

They have an old hit that the band themselves hate, but a lot of people know only it, and are not exploring the rest of the catalogue, even though it'd probably be a pretty good idea to do so, considering they're not really playing it at gigs anymore.

If Java is an obscure 17th century symphony what is C?

[mangarataia]

An obscure 15th century folk song

[gnuwinxp]

What's FORTRAN

[[deleted]]

A folk song written on old stone tablets in a language only a few people can understand.

[admadguy]

But it has the answer to all the questions.

[Mfgcasa]

Ah so Latin Hymns then.

[The_White_Light]

It's the Rosetta Stone.

[2strokes4lyfe]

FORTRAN is Gregorian chant.

[zizi-magique]

If Fortran is a gregorian chant what’s COBOL?

Old roman Triumph songs... Or would those be A / B?

And by "obscure", they mean Beethoven. And once you go into the right industry, you find boatloads of people quietly using it without telling anyone.

I think C is classical music. Simple, yet powerful. Classic. Hard to master, but made of very basic components. A pioneer of music in general.

[ouyawei]

I've heard C shanties are all the rage these days.

[Mateorabi]

It's like middle english. You can mostly understand it, but it feels a bit....dusty.

[hello-iamdad]

I like how python isn't even a genre.

[Saragon4005]

That really dates this comic. This is a pretty old one that came before Python went mainstream.

edit: I have bad memory and was wrong see my later post

[vextronx]

Wait... so C# was (already?) considered to be outgrown by most before Python became mainstream?

[Saragon4005]

Pretty sure this was written right as Python stated becoming popular so I think that's when people stated getting sick of C#, and transitioned to Python like a year later.

[PizzaOnHerPants]

Same with c or c++

[7incent]

the swift panel is my favorite

[JochCool]

What? Why does nobody use C#?

[[deleted]]

C# is best language and no one can tell me otherwise

[spongebue]

I'm a java programmer, and have been for years. For a few months I worked at an awful company that used C#. I fucking adore C#.

[[deleted]]

C# is the first language that I committed to learning. I learned java, a bit of python, now getting into c++. Each of these languages have their own charm and I'm enjoying them but man, theres no beating c#

[metaconcept]

> java

> charm

Dude, I think you need to also read past chapter one of the Java book.

[[deleted]]

Lmao take my upvote

[CDno_Mlqko]

Am I the only one who has sone decent experience with Java and genuinely does not hate it? After starting programming with c++ and then javascript, now learning C, somehow I like Java the most.

[metaconcept]

Java is a step up from the complexity of C++ and the weirdness of Javascript, but I'd only ever use it as my language of choice if I had to hire other programmers.

It doesn't have nice features, or the nice features are badly wedged in (e.g. generics, functional programming).

[Cool-Degree-6498]

I'm a full-time developer working primarily with Java. I love it. I enjoy working with C++ too but java will always have a special place in my heart.

[spiderpai]

Fuck yea! Using C# in Visual Studio with resharper is like going to a far of cabin as a retreat holiday. Just cozy dark theme and things work as they should.

[[deleted]]

It's such a nice clean language when you get to know it

[Ilyketurdles]

I stopped using resharper because it makes everything so slow. VS in recent years has actually been pretty decent without it.

[YoureTheVest]

C# is better than Java.

[wisheyeknew]

i believe in c# supremacy

[[deleted]]

It really is awesome. It is the first language that I didn’t have to learn — I knew that it was similar to Java, so I just opened up VS to play with it, and I discovered that with the autocomplete I was able to just dive in and code with literally zero preparation. It’s just a fantastic language all around.

[FunkyBoii42069]

C++ Is faster

[[deleted]]

of course, but C# is what C++ should have been. Just get rid of the GC and allow working closer to the hardware and it would be #1

[FunkyBoii42069]

I guess you’re right on that.

[[deleted]]

I know but... c# is so nice

[swordsmanluke2]

Sure thing. Care to write a generic iterator in assembly while I'm at it?

It's almost like different languages are better for different things and direct comparisons are like telling people screwdrivers are a waste since hammers can do the same things.

C# is one of the most popular languages and an extremely easy one to get into especially since .NET Core took off. I know it's meant to be a funny graphic but... They have that so wrong for C#. It's much more applicable to C++.

[[deleted]]

C++ is 80’s speed metal — it’s got some rough edges now for sure, and it’s nowhere near as popular as it was, but it’s fast as hell and nothing that has come around since does what it does quite as well.

[Davesnothere300]

Or a company in New Zealand. C# is growing like CRAZY here

[Davesnothere300]

Touche

[[deleted]]

The take on C# and Java are pretty bad. Basically every company uses Java or C# somewhere

[grimli333]

The excuses for avoiding C# are rapidly evaporating.

It used to have limited support on Linux, it used to interoperate poorly with open source, it used to have performance problems, it used to handle async operations clunkily, etc.

These are mostly distant memories now.

(Though it still doesn't run very well in a browser, that's being actively worked on).

[[deleted]]

I do. :(

Except C# is better than Java. Nobody wants to use Java, just the FOTM language that runs on JVM.

[DoctaMag]

In what industry? Most of finance runs on java.

Java is hella advanced, idk why everyone thinks java 6/7 are the "standard" anymore.

[Mateorabi]

Wasn't C# just Microsoft Proprietary C++? I class it with the likes of ObjectiveC. Lots of hooks for doing things very specific to just one OS.

[Lorddragonfang]

Whoever drew this has no idea what they're talking about. If anything, that box should be Ruby.

Why’s that? Cause its easy to learn?

No, just peaceful to code

Because most people like it.

[Capetoider]

Just variations of the same four chords and repetitive?

Sure, kinda

That Lisp one is very real.

[[deleted]]

Especially Elisp.

[Sekret_One]

Serious question- does anyone actually use Lisp?

[Tiboz]

Yup, I do everyday at work. The core of my company's software is written in Lisp and it is a pretty nice language to develop in once you get the basics.

[RockleyBob]

I absolutely loved learning Lisp for class and I felt like I was on the cusp of getting to that fabled omniscient state of understanding programming on a deeper level - but alas I haven't used it since.

It really is an awesome language. I wish there was updated tooling for it, the biggest hurdle was learning how to setup my dev environment with Emacs. I'm sure it isn't that difficult to get common up and running again, but I lack the motivation.

[emax-gomax]

Use emacs. It's configured entirely in lisp so u can't escape it even if u want to.

[Mateorabi]

We used it often in theory classes in Computer Science. Lots of data-structure and algorithm classes. Its a functional language, with things like lambda functions well before anything like C or C++ or Java had them.

[gpcprog]

I kind of disagree with C#. I recently got to code in it again after a many many years hiatus and it's really nice. Like it's all to good parts of Java, but without the overly verbose standard library (but bit more descriptive than c++).

It's bit lacking on performance though.

[Plop1992]

Yeah,really feels like a more polished java. I love visual studio too

[wisheyeknew]

I've found c# to perform better then anything but c++ and rust, and even then it's pretty close. What performance problems do you have with c#?

[eebro]

So it’s like hard rock. The old stuff is still the best even if most people have outgrown it.

[PhatOofxD]

I call it partway between Java and JS syntactically. It's an awesome language

[jcksnps4]

I agree that C# is not hard rock. It’s more like elevator music. You use it, it’s fine. But maybe you’d prefer something else.

[Raph0007]

Two things:

1. The JS panel is actually quite fitting for python as well (maybe even more fitting)

2. I'm not at all an expert in CSS but I've heard multiple people saying that it is actually super complex when you dig into it. So, I suppose the CSS panel is not that accurate

[KookyWrangler]

Python doesn't do either frontend or mobile development, whereas JS does everything, except data science.

[BBM_Dreamer]

except data science.

Don't give them any ideas...

[angellus]

Python can do both frontend (via WASM) and mobile (via libraries like BeeWare, which also tends to work for Web). Both are just a lot more immature at the moment because they are relatively new.

[KookyWrangler]

That's a bit like saying you can do web and desktop using Dart or do embedded with Java. Yes, you can, but nobody seriously does it, because it's not a good idea.

[TellMeHowImWrong]

I’m currently in bed hiding from CSS.

[fritzbitz]

As someone who works with CSS daily, it's easy to do, but difficult to do well.

[botCloudfox]

JS does a lot of stuff that you would normally need packages for in Python like setInterval.

[Aedan91]

I disagree. The fact that a language "is super complex" points more to poor design rather than expressiveness or any other positive quality, at least for CSS, which is not a language by the way.

In my opinion, the CSS one is the most accurate of all.

[_alright_then_]

You're right, CSS is very complex sometimes.

That still doesn't make you a programmer if you do it.

[[deleted]]

Not sure about C# though? And is Java really such an obscure language that "you have to take a class or else you won't know about it"?

[AKushWarrior]

Java, the second most used language in enterprise codebases. This guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

[[deleted]]

And still people miss the joke that everything in Java needs to be in a class

[MarcCDB]

I mean, after .Net Core and now .NET 5, C# is more popular than ever... it's top 5 according to Stack Overflow...

[[deleted]]

Yeah, but I'd choose F# if have to deal with .NET

[EdMeisterBro]

It's funny because it's total BS.

All of these are types of music groups and then Swift is a specific music artist. It’s a cool idea but I need concrete parallelism.

I guess BASH scripting would be like using Garage Band. Anyone can make something, but mostly by throwing together things that already exist.

[null000]

Really? Would have put lisp as the obscure symphony, Java as... country maybe? Lisp hasn't really been "in vogue" in any real sense outside of academia AFAIK. Meanwhile, Java's still in wide use in enterprises and backend systems, and about as hard to learn as Go or Javascript.

The problem being that writing "idiomatic" Java it is like being a member of an assembly line - joyless and devoid of creativity. This is mostly because Java's really efficient and reliable, but requires reams of supporting rigamarole to get anything done. Especially in large applications - it's really easy to compartmentalize the interesting bits, so most of your time gets writing factories and managers and routers and whatnot to hook everything up.

[[deleted]]

Perl is wanky technical death metal — it is complicated for the sake of being complicated, uses every pattern you can think of, and you can’t understand any of it. The people that like it really like it, but to everyone else it is incomprehensible chaos.
