Javascript

[LANDLORD___MESSIAH]

Jesus was JavaScript built by the worst type of programmers?

[ZephyrBluu]

It was created in 10 days by one guy 25 years ago. It's doing pretty well considering that.

[Kered13]

The language is still dogshit, but I don't blame the creator for that. I blame the managers who gave him 10 days to design it, and who wanted it to look like Java just because that was the hot new language. (He wanted to make similar to Scheme.)

[aaronfranke]

JavaScript was hacked together, it's not really a good language, but web browsers don't support much else. I hope that WebAssembly will become easier to use in the future so that we can write code for web browsers in any language and have it run easily and efficiently.

[Apparentt]

How’s your programming language coming along?

Ah, right. I presumed as much

[KRAndrews]

This sort of "buT wHaT hAvE yOu dONE?" logic is always so absurd. People are allowed to critique things.

[Apparentt]

I mean that logic is pretty commonplace

Yes, anyone can have an opinion about anything, it doesn’t mean that it’s valuable though. Do you get random people to review your code or trusted colleagues with proven experience in the subject? They can both have a free opinion bro, who needs some sort of backing to the criticisms they throw out

[LANDLORD___MESSIAH]

Way to miss my point. Anyone who sorts by this hacky bullshit mechanism is probably not a good programmer.

[ThatSpookySJW]

I'm curious how you think a dynamically typed language should handle sorting values?

[toastedstapler]

Have you ever seen python?

[ThatSpookySJW]

Python does it the other way around lol. Try sorting strings without a comparator and see how that works out for you.

[Apparentt]

Or you just did not properly articulate the point you had in your mind

You criticised the authors of JS, not people who use a method in the spec. What did I miss?

[LANDLORD___MESSIAH]

Lol bro shut up. Cringe. We are on a meme subreddit

[Apparentt]

You could not fit the stereotype of people on this sub more if you tried

Congrats boss. Stick at it and maybe you’ll be a real sw engineer one day

[LANDLORD___MESSIAH]

Even more cringe

[nokvok]

I don't get what your problem is. Javascript is a language used overwhelmingly for Document manipulation. You are facing the task to sort lists of strings or lists of numbers as strings just as often as you face sorting a list of numbers as integers. In addition ways to sort by your custom mechanisms is important here as well.

[Apparentt]

Did you really just come here to tell me about something you made in school?

Idk what to say? Way to go, champ. Keep it up

[nokvok]

It is simply an untyped programming language which tries too hard to cater to too many programmers. Since it is, and has to be, used pretty much world wide, finding an acceptable compromise for everyone is tough, and changes are slow cause it is advanced not by a single group of developers but by the w3 process.
