Yup, seeing the top 10 list made me immediately think of homework assignments.
In the real world, programmers don't take their questions with "recursion" or "pointers" very often. Nor is Assembly a common language for side projects.
This definitely seems like a case of students simply being relatively overrepresented on weekends.
- KirinDave 10y agoASM (not necessarily x86), C and C++ are very well represented in side projects and hobbies because of the DIY device community, though.
- thinkmassive 10y agoCertainly, because it's what a lot of us learned in academia. Everyone's right!
- frozenport 10y agoThe argument is that you would see a more specific tag like MIPS.
- zrm 10y agoSuppose you have 10000 posts tagged with #MIPS #assembly, 8000 tagged with #x86 #assembly and 6000 tagged with #arm #assembly. Then you have 10000 tagged with #MIPS and 24000 tagged with #assembly.
- js8 10y agoFunny, when I saw the top 10, Edward Kmett came to my mind. He is likely the most prolific Haskell hacker, but he also recently started a side project writing some graphics shaders for VR in C (when he was younger, he was in the demoscene community). So yeah, some people are weird that way..
- jackmott 10y agoI think focusing one one high level language like Haskell/OCaml/F# and one low level language like C is the truth path to enlightenment.
