The Programmer Hierarchy
- alttab 16y agoI dont see a lot of Java/Pascal animosity, although as a full time Rubyist I could at least tip my hat at the arrogance. I'd say ObjC and Flash/Flex/Fusion are absent and would put the Ruby guys on their feet - simply because these guys (on average) make 20k more.
- jacquesm 16y agoShouldn't clojure be at the very top there, on the left above lisp? ;) Smalltalk is conspicuously absent.
- olalonde 16y agoShouldn't Verilog/VHDL be on top? :)
- reeses 16y agoSmalltalk is probably absent because they're happy and productive and don't care about other languages. I have to say my Smalltalk years were full of more,"Look what I made!" vs. "Look what I got the computer to do!" An alternative explanation is that there are no longer any Smalltalk programmers who don't also belong to one of the other groups. :(
- rue 16y agoOdd conflict, I did not find this [Funny] even though the title promised such.
- plesn 16y agoThe way programmers see each other was especially good in the "language matrix" : http://i.imgur.com/1gF1j.jpg http://i.imgur.com/1gF1j.jpg
- alttab 16y agoI like how the only difference between Java and Ruby to a Lisp guy is Sarah Palin's boobs.
- nowarninglabel 16y agoGlad to see Java programmers were right where they belong.
- crpatino 16y agoJava's now 2 orders of magnitude below Visual Basic? Do I smell a reflective relationship in there?
- olefoo 16y agoThe better map would represent this as a doubly linked circular list since pretty much any type of programmer considers the language they are most effective in to make them superior to every other sort of programmer. I don't know what it is about programming as a profession, but something which ought to be humbling (have you ever created a bug-free program of any consequence?), produces a surprisingly large number of people who are insufferably arrogant out of all proportion to their accomplishments. Or perhaps the arrogance is defensive, and is built around the fear of being found out as a fallible human being, not some godlike creator.
- binomial 16y agoI'd expect it to be more of a cyclic graph in reality.
- ansgri 16y agoClojure: superior from both Lisp and Java ends ^_-
- alinajaf 16y agoAm I the only one here who has a broad smattering of skills in that graph (around about C, PHP, Ruby, Javascript, HTML etc.) and don't see myself inferior/superior to anyone on that list? Incompetent programmers are incompetent no matter what language they use to (not) get the job done.
