Why I Left [Language_1] for [Language_2]
- ChicagoDave 10y agoAwesome.
- superobserver 10y agoI know this is a generic joke, but the use of [spoiler] is a pretty good punchline. We could use more of this.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoYeah, [spoiler] killed the applicability of this where I couldn't cut and paste it here during the language fights. Yet, I bust out laughing seeing [spoiler]. That was just too funny. Especially "corroboration" that followed.
- tariqali34 10y agoInterestingly, I really liked [spoiler] too, but I also hoped that this blog post could be reused in future language fights (and it is a shame that [spoiler] could prevent that). Potentially a revised version of this blog post could be helpful. Anyway, this link (http://joelgrus.com/2013/12/24/why-programming-language-x-is-unambiguously-better-than-programming-language-y/ http://joelgrus.com/2013/12/24/why-programming-language-x-is...) is decent enough for copying and pasting.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoThere we go! That's what I need.
- chrstphrhrt 10y agoHaha, but srsly I'm struggling with callback hell on the server coming from [lang_p], does this still apply?
- hoodoof 10y agoIf you are in callback hell then you should be using ES2015 with ES7's async/await.
- hoodoof 10y agoIgor, this is magnificent. All it needs is a generator script to select language X and language Y, or database X and database Y and then autopost to Hacker News.
- kazinator 10y agoAlso, random selector of hello worlds from Rosetta Code.
- tariqali34 10y agoI'm doubtful that Hacker News would tolerate autoposts. But it would make for an excellent "Show HN" sideproject that somebody can make to boost their coding skills.
