Just made a thread, just for you OP, I'm sure you'll love it. >>897280

>Javascript

Memes aside ES6 is pretty comfy and if you don't know javascript well in $CURRENT_YEAR you're doing yourself a huge disservice.

>f you don't know javascript well in $CURRENT_YEAR

So I'm guessing should have fries, ketchup, and exactly how many flavor of $CURRENT_WEEK frameworks to go along with that?

>This place needs to stop bitching about programming languages

>proceeds to bitch about 3 programming languages

You're either a retard or the most unsubtle troll in the history of imageboards.

I like you! This is the kind of quality ass content we need on /tech/. Great job, buddy.

>C is bad

what is the Linux kernel

>PHP is bad

>Javascript is bad

Though I agree with you, this website is programmed in those two languages.

I program in PHP. I can confirm that it's not fine.

>i am too retarded to understand C so its trash.

dont use linux man. The kernel is written in C! Think how trash it must be then!

C's string convention is trash. C's convention for error handling is trash. C's weak typing is trash. Lots of things about C are trash.

It's possible to write good software in a trash programming language. It's possible for a trash programming language to be the best language available for a job. That doesn't mean the language is not trash.

>Linux is trash

agreed

>sometimes trash is good

talk about a pointless opinion

>>897384

>its a trash language but if used properly its not trash

use it properly

>>897385

trash is relative.

Most things are ints, and if you implicitly convert between them the compiler will frown at you but let you do it anyway.

It's a bit misleading because it's weakly typed in a different way than weakly typed high level languages. Javascript will let the string "10" become the number 10. C will let the string "10" become an integer that happens to contain a memory address address pointing to a byte with a value of 49, then a byte with a value of 48, then a byte with a value of 0.

C has static weak typing. Python has dynamic strong typing. Javascript has dynamic weak typing. Haskell has static strong typing.

That's hard.

The same task will be harder in a hard language than in an easy language. The harder a task is, the lower the quality of the execution. Therefore, the quality of programs written in languages that are hard to use right will be lower than the quality of the same programs written in languages that are easy to use right.
