To the person who authored this piece of text that will apply in X-odd decades from now, I hope you inspire every coder in 2035 who is "starting out programming" to say:
Fuck your functional, static, super-fast, super-optimum, super-niche, super-scalable, super-everything language that only 64 other people in the world are using, that barely has any auth wrappers because your bus-factor of 2 prevents you from doing anything else except optimizing your compiler to be "almost as fast as C". I will learn my shit-hole language that the dickwards at GooFaceZon and the asswires at redundant CS colleges refer to as "a mistake of a programming language" because frankly ...
My shit-hole language will do many important things, among others:
- Make me productive
- Pay my fucking bills
- Allow me to learn, because I understand shit at this level, was not born a savant and don't dream in code (whatever the fuck that is)
- Allow me to live beyond the screen, because having a family, going outside and letting the sun touch your skin sometimes is good
So fuck it all, and fuck it all true and well. If COBOL and VB6 aren't dead, long live WordPress!
