A Random Coding Thought πŸ’»

I’m actually busy enjoying the festival right now, so maybe that’s why random questions keep popping into my head instead of productive coding ideas

Imaghe description

And here’s today’s one: if programming languages had personalities, which one would you actually want to hang out with? Python would probably be the chill one, JavaScript the chaotic one, and C++… well, probably the one who enjoys making life difficult.

  • πŸ‘€ Which programming language is your favourite?
    • πŸ”₯ What made you fall in love with it?
    • πŸš€ If you had to learn one new language right now, which one would you pick?

Currently hacking more go and typescript code.
The one language that I want to learn if i get enough time is c++.

Probably Go made me fall in love. :)

What made me fall in love with it?
Simply because of its Simplicity haha.

If I had to learn one new language right now?
Well... I’m already learning Go right now, so I guess I already have my answer.🀣

I've never really associated personalities with programming languages, but an obvious candidate for a programming language with a personality would be LOLCODE :D

P.S. the programming languages that fascinate me most are functional ones (FP), like Haskell etc - but a language like Rust (which also has strong FP characteristics) comes a good second!

Python is probably the one I’d grab coffee with, Go is the one I’d trust to show up on time, and C++ is the friend who somehow turns a quiet evening into a three-day debugging session. πŸ˜‚

But if I had to pick one language right now, I’d cheat: Zee. I’m building it myself, so at this point choosing another one might cause a domestic argument.

What made me fall in love with it? Probably the fact that when I disagree with the language, I can’t complain about the designer. I have to fix the damn thing. πŸ˜„

And the next language I’d learn? Whatever teaches me something Zee doesn’t know yet.
