I love how cynical this comment is. You're absolutely right though, every language solves a specific problem, so it's kind of arbitrary what language does something in the shortest amount of letters.
- wild_preference 8y agoWell, this is trivia about our craft that we enjoy talking about and comparing. Consider that nobody is impressed by the TicTacToe DSL if it appeared among C, JS, and other languages we use. Not very cynical. It’d be a “heh” and move on. If you want to be critical, it’s the stupid statements and interpretations people make from the comparisons. Like the Perl guy coming out of the woodwork to point out how we’re a bunch of idiots for not seeing the beauty of the Perl oneliner. Or how it demostates that Go doesn’t need generics and how JS web coders aren’t real developers.
