Seriously. There’s so many floating around. It feels like there’s a cycle of
Random programmer thinks xyz language sucks -> she/he makes a slightly different, slightly faster, slightly more secure version -> by luck this gains mass adoption-> random programmer thinks new xyz language sucks
I propose when the revolution comes and the last guillotine falls we decide a general-purpose programming language that coders should stick to. I vote Lisp or any of the dialects (scheme, clojure, racket), but i also feel something about the Julia language for scientific research. Maybe we can decriminalize using C. Absolutely ban and hunt down the use of any of the hipster languages teenagers are into these days.
Nim? Zig? Crystal?? I am absolutely losing my damn mind. It compiles to bytecode people. Make up ur damn minds. To jail with all of u
And then we can use our unified programming language to write a program so tall it breaches Heaven itself
I swear my personal conspiracy theory is that corporations like to introduce flashy new programming languages to divide programmers so they don’t get too powerful for their own britches and rise up against the executives that control them.
Imagine if there was a single, unified programming language, used both in industry, research and for hobbyists. Then we can standardize all of tech
