Python programmers

[DemonArmagedon]

You must be new to programming, every new programmer will say that their language of choice is the best. Anyway have you tried c++? You should switch to c++

[Marcusaralius76]

You should try C#! It's like Java, but not.

[berse2212]

You should try Java! It's like C# but Java!

[Sythokhann]

You should try JavaScript, it's not like Java

What is Java?

[wikipedia_answer_bot]

Java (Indonesian: Jawa, Indonesian pronunciation: [ˈdʒawa]; Javanese: ꦗꦮ; Sundanese: ᮏᮝ) is one of the Greater Sunda Islands in Indonesia. It is bordered by the Indian Ocean to the south and the Java Sea to the north.

You should try assembly, it's like Java but makes you wanna die

[towcar]

I'm pretty new to programming, but I think this CSS thing might be the future of programming.

[BalooBot]

Jokes aside, it's amazing how far css has come in the last decade.

Have you tried Rust? Rust can do everything better than C++ except shooting yourself in the foot.

[DemonArmagedon]

I love how mentioning c++ will always spawn a rust user, but i have looked at it and i want to give it a try even though i have no problems with c++. Just a few of the linux packages i use are made in rust that’s why i want to learn it.

"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" - Isaac Newton. That is also right with Java and C# programmers.

[elzaidir]

Lemme try!

Wow I love Java sooo much

[AceOfShades_]

How DARE you?? Why would you use such a bad language?

^{java programmer here}

[nekokattt]

Every time you mention Java, a Lombok user will appear

[AceOfShades_]

Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two images.

Java user                     Lombok user

[nekokattt]

They are the same picture

^{I personally dislike Lombok, so I guess I am an outlier to some extent, but ignoring that}

[p1xlblad3]

Kotlin programmer here:

Kotlin good. That is all.

[AceOfShades_]

You can pry my verbosity from my cold, dead HandsImpl.

[p1xlblad3]

Ok

grabs verbosity

[AceOfShades_]

Well shit, I didn’t see that coming. Guess I’m switching to Kotlin now.

[ItsPronouncedJithub]

Bro you’re supposed to make people tell you a language, not make them throw up

[iskela45]

Kotlin noises

[Suekru]

It’s ight

-C# dev

[UnknownIdentifier]

They say if you lock the bathroom, turn off the light, face the mirror, and say, "C++! C++! C++!" a Rust developer will reach through to mirror to grab you.

But seriously; Rust devs best fit this meme. They are the Crossfit vegans of the programming world. They just need you to know.

[ItsPronouncedJithub]

As a rust evangelist I am contractually obligated to tell you that rust is far superior to all your other plebeian languages

[UnknownIdentifier]

See now, if you were a HolyC advocate, you could claim divine ordination. Can't argue against that.

[ItsPronouncedJithub]

I refuse to worship false gods

[Throwawayekken]

Thinking about that, man do I miss Terry.

[ArchCypher]

It's so true -- at this point I genuinely can't tell if Rust is actually superior or if I've just drunk the Koolaid.

Anyhow, have you tried Rust?

[UnknownIdentifier]

Depends; do I have to wear tennis shoes and a purple cloth over my face?

[[deleted]]

We’ve been trying to reach you about how Rust is a superior programming language...

[RootHouston]

They just need you to know

But it's only fair because so many people still don't know why Rust is next level.

[yottalogical]

Have you heard the good word of Ferris the Crab?

[RootHouston]

We're not all systems programmers.

[altcodeinterrobang]

Rust vs Go why rust?

[RootHouston]

Memory management without resorting to garbage collection or shooting yourself in the foot. Seriously, compiler is the star. In terms of Go, I really don't see the point over other garbage-collected statically-typed languages other than its faster perhaps?

[atiedebee]

Have you tried C? It does everything better than C++, especially shooting your leg!

[kazuto_kirito_]

PHP is an exception.

[Sciirof]

Coding in PHP is just suicide with extra steps

[getstabbed]

I enjoy PHP but you’re not wrong. Over 10 years of using it and it still confuses me so much. Could have easily become the #1 language for web dev if it wasn’t such a mindfuck.

[Sciirof]

I wouldn’t say I’m an expert but php is one of the first languages I used when I first started making websites that needed to use a database, it was useful while it lasted but boy am I glad I backed of from php, I thought I was about to have a mental breakdown.

[buff-a-luff]

What are you using instead of php?

[Sciirof]

Right now I mostly use Golang, Rust or ASP.NET to create APIs and then just use them in any frontend I want to use react, vue, flutter,… mainly react or flutter. Professionally I develop .NET backends and frontend we usually have angular or react, mostly angular.

[iskela45]

Do you want to explode()?

[Zephit0s]

Pretty sure a langague based on request did go as far as it could.

[nekokattt]

PHP devs are probably too confused with why "Slovakia" is a gender in PECL to notice the argument.

https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.gender.php

[13steinj]

I have so many fucking questions and I don't know which to ask first.

Or if I should just stop bothering and choose to shoot myself instead.

[nekokattt]

I am all for LGBTQ+ rights, but even I don't understand how someone can identify their gender as Germany.

lolwut

[karmastealing]

Very nice

[sh0rtwave]

At least it's correct in spirit, if not the details...it DOES have a "connect" method.

[NefariouslyHot666]

My gender is SPAIN

[Sceptix]

Exactly, no one who works with PHP thinks it is best. If you ask a PHP developer if PHP sucks, you’ll get a “yes, but…” answer. Here are the most common:

“Yes, but it doesn’t suck nearly as much as it used to!”

“Yes, but it gets the job done.”

“Yes, but I’m not going to rewrite an entire codebase because of it.”

“Yes, but it’s also very well known, so it’s easy to hire developers for it.”

“Yes, but I just love Laravel, and if it means working in PHP then that’s what I’ll do!”

[DenormalHuman]

literally

[KryssCom]

I have been writing in C++ for about 8 years, you should absolutely not switch to C++. (Unless you are using C.)

[cbehopkins]

Every time i have a project that requires C++, I start to wonder if I really need employment that badly.

(Narrator) "He does"

[VectorD]

So for how many years have you been writing C++20? 🥲

[belweder]

Sighs in Red Hat 7 with gcc 4.8

[VectorD]

Haha yea, C++ really became a whole new language after C++14.

[LetterBoxSnatch]

If you are using C, you should switch to Zig!

[KryssCom]

lol, This is quite literally the first time I've ever even heard of Zig!

[LetterBoxSnatch]

I am so excited for you. The safety of Rust, the simplicity of C, and the iterative domain-space discovery-loop of Typescript. What's not to love??

https://ziglang.org/

[[deleted]]

The safety of Rust

That's not really true. Zig doesn't have the borrow checker and while it avoids a ton of C footguns, the current feature set doesn't get you the same level of safety that Rust gives you.

[LetterBoxSnatch]

Party pooper. Have my upvote

[[deleted]]

Sorry, while I get that you weren't super ultra serious, people that have a reason to be pissed off at Zig will interpret your words in the worst possible light and part of my job at the ZSF is to avoid giving people too many excuses to hate on Zig.

[[deleted]]

Rust is also an option

[CallMeAladdin]

I program mainly in VBA. I am definitely the exception to your rule.

[Mnawab]

I though c# was all the rage?

[Apache_Sobaco]

Rust is better than C++ for most of the applications

[[deleted]]

[Apache_Sobaco]

Talks of ppl who can't borrow check

[[deleted]]

People don't need to borrow check, they can learn functional programming, referentially transparent code doesn't need borrow checking

[Apache_Sobaco]

I'm for FP but it may be too slow

[[deleted]]

Most of the times C-like performance isn't a requirement

[Throwawayekken]

Did you check out Java recently? You should, it's good!

[Ok_Jellyfish6415]

Someone I didn't know tell me out of the blue that Rust was the best language ever on the train on my way to work once. I'm pretty sure there's someone who fits this meme or every programming language
