      This, but unironically. That is basically exactly how it started (after “J#” IIRC), minus a few wrinkles ironed out because if you’re reinventing the wheel, might as well try not to make the same flaws the old one had. Of course things branched out from there and C# has been a very different beast from Java since the 2000s.

        I the beginning, C# was basically “Java, the good parts”, developed from scratch as a new language though. J# was developed in parallel as a replacement for Visual J++, and could run essentially unmodified Java code.

        At a previous workplace, we had projects that were combined C# and J# projects. It was a bit strange.

    I don’t get the HTML one. It’s out a reference to HTTP 418?

      I think the joke is that HTML isn’t a REAL programming language.

        I think a better analogy would be making HTML look like one of those template thingies people use for bullet journals

    Language snobs be like

    Java is too verbose, Assembly is best 🥴

    Ok nobody actually wants to write Assembly, but that’s still what they sound like. Optimizing for number of characters you’d have to type if you used a text editor instead of an IDE, and dumb shit like that.

      I like to program assembly. It’s kinda fun to juggle around registers, and it feels really gratifying to to see it running at the fastest speed possible.

      The Java hate is not about wanting to type fewer characters; it’s about FactoryFactory-type boilerplate nonsense adding conceptual bloat that obscures what the unit of code is actually trying to accomplish.

        FactoryFactory classes are not something inherent to java, it’s just as likely with any OOP language. I’m assuming you refer to something like AbstractFactory Pattern.

        Most boilerplate can be automatically added by IDEs, and doesn’t add any more congnative overhead than comments would. It’s basically comments that are statically validated by the compiler.

      Assembly is absolutely doo doo fard because theirs so many variations because of different hardware or operating system and lots of people mix them up leading to struggle town for hours just for a simple hello world program for the specific version you have.

      I tried to learn and settled on GAS since that had better examples of code I could find online
