If your programming language were a Pokemon, which would it be?

JS = Mimikkyu because it just wants you to love it please. Please. Pls.

Also, when you remove its little costume, it's a hot mess and will probably kill you.

[Ben Halpern]

I'm not really familiar with the non-original Pokemon, but I think that proliferation component is especially apt for JS

[Kim Arnett ]

LOL

[Joe Zack]

Came here hoping to see Mimikkyu, was not disappointed!

CSS would be Eevee. A single pokemon that, when raised right, can become so many different diverse and powerful evolutions. Each Eevee evolution is basically Eevee with a different stylesheet.

Good example of this? CSS Zen Garden. One site, yet it takes SO MANY amazing forms with the right CSS.

[Usman Khalil]

Totally agree

[Felippe Regazio]

Php = psyduck. A kind of pain everytime, kinda ugly, but usefull and powerfull

[Cat]

He is trying his best.

[Felippe Regazio]

HAHAHAHA

[Darryl Norris]

Great analogy!!

[Andre Vasconcelos]

Relevant:
The current state of front-end development

Swift is Charmander.

It's still young, and learning a lot.. but there's a lot of potential and power.

[Cat]

I especially like this because tail chase.

[Ben Halpern]

Objective-C as Magneton?

[Kim Arnett ]

lololololol perfect

[rosiesolutions]

Lol spot on

[Cat]

I might get some fire for this but...

Java = Magikarp?

He's common. Sometimes he just flops. If you raise him right, he can be very powerful and tear you a new one.

[Jonathan Lacanlale]

accurate but...would that make kotlin gyrados?

[Cat]

I am not too familiar with Kotlin, but after searching for it and glancing at a high level, I would say so.

[Ben Halpern]

Ruby is Squirtle

A reliable Pokemon to start with, generalist without overly complicated attacks.

Might evolve to Blastoise with a lot of care, but look out for leaks!

[Haruan Justino]

And slow kkk

[George Offley]

Python be would be Mewtwo. A powerful, take no shit kind of language that once people started using it became ubiquitous in so many high level applications.

[Diego Casella]

... However, even though the scientific power of humans created this Pokémon's body, they failed to endow Mewtwo with a compassionate heart.

Sorry, I couldn't resist ehehe xD

[George Offley]

Seems about right. Python is a total asshole.

[Stephen Chiang]

TypeScript = Rayquaza: Strong, robust, isn't malicious but doesn't like to be bothered; gets really mad when bothered.

Javascript: Mr Mime

• Not that great until it copies the best bits of other languages

PHP: Pidgey

• Its everywhere so you will probably end up using it at some point in your adventure career

Basic: Tangela

• looks like spaghetti

C: Farfetch'd

• has no automatic garbage collector so 'leeks' everywhere

MySQL: Jigglypuff

• Looks nice enough but will send you to sleep

[Elliot Derhay]

Good choice for MySQL.
