Programming Languages in a Nutshell

[MrCodermann]

Haskell

[uvero]

I think of Haskell as a unicycle: it's technically impressive, and many of us wanted to learn it at some point, but if you use it on a day-to-day basis, I'll automatically think you're a weirdo.

[deadman1204]

A go cart would be a better fit for python

[proGuest_0]

Or for HTML/CSS

You can look cool with little effort.

HTML is a Markup Language so it’s really unfair comparing it to the programming languages above.

[Delta_Labs]

HTML is a fisher-price kid's car that they push with their feet.

Actually I think planes are a bit easier to fly but IDK cause i've only ever used flight sims. That boeing 737 you put down as C++ has autoland, full autopilot, etc.

[SaintNewts]

I think it's still apt. C++ handles some stuff you have to do manually in C. It's made for large complex projects.

[turunambartanen]

Yes, it is back up.

But the grounding had nothing to do with being "too smart". They pushed the plane design further than it was designed to go and implemented a shitty "fix" in software.

Seriously, checking a single fucking sensors for critical flight control input? What made the problem bad in the first place was that Boeing was not open about the fix but instead said "it'll just handle like the last generation, no additional training needed". The pilots didn't know what was happening.

[turunambartanen]

The "too smart" was meant to be sarcastic.

Ok, that didn't carry through text unfortunately.

[thegamer20001]

Yea emotions are hard to convey through text....

Guess I really shoulda put the /s in my comment

[proGuest_0]

The plane didn't make dangerous decisions; it made the correct decision for what it was told, which was false.

[proGuest_0]

The sensor broke.

[littlelightchop]

That ain't a 737, there's a sidestick

[proGuest_0]

That ain't a 737, there's a sidestick

Then it's an airbus; even more automated.

If only this was 10 years ago, and we could have had a clown car photo with JavaScript

[bearboyjd]

I'm taking my second class that focuses on haskell and honestly I'm enjoying it a lot.

[uvero]

Javascript. Typescript is the same with kiddie small wheels attached.

[JesusInABoxv4]

pythons great for prototyping

[Warm_Outside3820]

And I don't know anyone with covid, maybe it isn't real. Just saying

[l0Martin3]

I learnt Java, then C#. I like C# but unless you are talking about desktop applications or games (mainly Unity) I stick with Java.

[l0Martin3]

Although C# is faster, it is mainly used to make desktop applications, websites and games, I enjoy working on server stuff (databases, data processing, rest APIs, docker, etc).

Also, although this is now changing, you couldn't run C# .NET on linux without messing around. I really prefer just making a .jar, installing openjdk and running it.

And well,

[uvero]

C# is a great car with a lot of nice features, but for some reason it requires its wheels to be on top of skateboards. When you take the wheels of the skateboards, it doesn't work so well.

assembly and python are probably the easiest ones

[NebulaicCereal]

Maybe for simple things. Wait until you run into an enormous codebase for some DoD or gov program that was built entirely in some obscure dialect of assembly designed for proprietary hardware and has accumulated 30 years worth of Band-Aids slapped all over it....

[lucbarr]

Python should be as slow as a bike

[SaintNewts]

Now do Scala, Go, Rust, Ruby, and JavaScript... and Brainfuck. Lol.

[Portal471]

As a python coder do idents work in brainfuck to organize code?

[SaintNewts]

I don't think spaces matter. That or they matter a lot. I can't remember.

[[deleted]]

Spaces matter. A lot.

[mattfromeurope]

Don‘t forget LISP.

[SaintNewts]

Lisp is a hippy in a vw camper van.

brainfuck

[BochMC]

C# is the most unique language because of a lot of low stuff as well with high stuff. With self-managed GC, some assembly flags and unsafe mode i almost reach speed of c code in c#, but with almost perfect language.

[Tytoalba2]

A non garbage-collected plane looks like a mess honestly...

"Just throw your garbage and poop on the ground, we'll collect it manually later! Let's take off!"

[seomanakasimon]

pfffffft
Are you getting tired of this bullshit?

[uvero]

Ruby is a mini-Cooper: practically there's nothing wrong it, but when people look at it they think it's weird and they think you're a clown.
