That's kind of the whole point I was trying to make above; if one language makes something super easy to do without having to look for instructions compared, that makes a difference in terms of how people will decide whether to learn it. Individually, lots of small quality of life things add up and can make a language that otherwise would be unapproachable way easier to get started with than languages that don't prioritize that sort of thing.
- pjmlp 2y agoI know learning is a chore, nothing like jumping into it without thinking. /s
- saghm 2y agoIf someone has two choices that can provide the same output, and one of them makes it more effort to figure out how to do, then people will do the other one more often. There's no inherent virtue is spending effort to do something equivalent. It's not clear to me why you seem to think that pointing this out deserves a sarcastic response.
