There are a half-dozen different groups of mainstream programming languages (and a bunch of oddballs). Within those groups, it's relatively uniform. Going between -- not the same.
Most people who make comments like this have only seen languages which differ in syntax, but many do differ in semantics.
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoActually, I'd say mainstream programming languages differ more in syntax than in semantics. They're all ALGOL-like imperative, structured, procedural languages. Java, C# and Python might stick your objects on the heap while C and C++ might stick them on the stack, but the code looks and functions the same. And sure, some of these have classes and others don't, but it's not really a big difference.
- pmelendez 11y agoVery true... I would dare him to tell me how Scheme is the same that C++.
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoScheme isn't mainstream. ;)
