There's no such thing as Postgres or Mongo developer. They are not programming languages.
- jfengel 6y agoThey are tools used by programmers. They do, in fact, have languages of their own, but more to the point they have whole ecosystems of expected behaviors, idioms, best practices, etc etc etc. Those take longer to learn than a programming language. Similarly, "web app" isn't a programming language, and neither is "server side". But they are toolkits that a developer must learn on top of their programming language, and it takes longer than the actual language itself.
- __s 6y agoPL/pgSQL says otherwise
- itwy 6y agoThat's a DSL, not a programming language.
- pwinnski 6y agoWhat, pray tell, do you think the "L" in "DSL" represents?
- ollemasle 6y agoLanguage, not programming language ;-)
- potiuper 6y agoDaemon Specific Logos might be found in the appendix of the Inquisitor's Guide.
- Ygg2 6y agoSame as "L" in "HTML". Does that make XML a programming language? My point is - DSL and programming language can overlap. However they don't have to.
- valand 6y agoI would argue that XML is a non-turing complete declarative programming language.
- justinclift 6y ago> There's no such thing as Postgres or Mongo developer. That's very much not true. I've personally done contracts for developing PostgreSQL related code and/or PostgreSQL based projects.
