Foo = procedural (c)
Bar = functional (haskell)
Baz = bash ?
Bong = hard to say because bash has a perfectly good interface to sql so im just super confused now.
- JadeNB 6y agoMention language names and people get hung up on the specific languages chosen, use generic names and people try to figure out what the obscured specific languages might have been ….
- waheoo 6y agoHey, let us have some fun.
- marcosdumay 6y ago> Baz = bash ? Lisp (the anecdote is famous) Bong may be C#, but "good" is pushing it. The only language I know with a good interface with a database is SQL, but I/O is quite bad.
- waheoo 6y agoAh yes that must be it! Then what is bong?
- goto11 6y agoI'm curious, what anecdote are you referring to?
- marcosdumay 6y agoThere's an essay from PG where he explains how viaweb used only text files and how people react to the absence of a database.
- goto11 6y agoNice. I was actually paraphrasing a discussion I saw recently about K versus Python.
- marcosdumay 6y agoCool. I expect it to happen with all kinds of languages, it's interesting to see it happening. Just a decade ago, databases weren't the go to solution to all kinds of software. Now we have sqlite everywhere, so those arguments will probably get less common with time.
