Missed the opportunity to draw in a teapot for HTML.

Error 418

spoilerI am not a teapot.

C#: So you just took java's essay and changed the name?

/s

[-] OrangeXarot@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 year ago

remove the /s switch, it's funnier

[-] amio@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

This, but unironically. That is basically exactly how it started (after "J#" IIRC), minus a few wrinkles ironed out because if you're reinventing the wheel, might as well try not to make the same flaws the old one had. Of course things branched out from there and C# has been a very different beast from Java since the 2000s.

[-] dan@upvote.au 5 points 1 year ago

I the beginning, C# was basically "Java, the good parts", developed from scratch as a new language though. J# was developed in parallel as a replacement for Visual J++, and could run essentially unmodified Java code.

At a previous workplace, we had projects that were combined C# and J# projects. It was a bit strange.

No sir, i also copied stuff from C++, C, Haskell and Delphi.

[-] Ineocla@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Welp the man behind c# also created Delphi so technically he didn't copy

[-] MyFairJulia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Inventor of Delphi: "Hey, can i copy your homework?"

Inventor to himself: "Yes, just make it look like you made it yourself."

Latex creates the most beautiful documents

[-] Magister@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

It's incredible, I remember in the 90s in university, some students were king of Latex and made incredible beautiful paper full of complicated mathematical formula and such

The best feedback I ever got on an assignment in grad school was "wow, your homework looks like a textbook!"

It may not always be correct, but it's always pretty!

[-] RogueTyre@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Definitely but such a bitch to use. Why do I have to learn literally a new language to finish my shitty 4 page labs report...

The C++ one doesn't make sense

[-] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

I think templates is what he's making fun of.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

How so, templates make for less code usually? Or like template meta prog?

I'm a C++ dev and I'm lost on this one :-p plz send help

[-] Phrodo_00@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I think it's because each template specialization works kind of like a new copy of a class.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Still not getting it, I mean you don't even get to see the code? IDK

[-] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

/shrug

That's my best guess, in the sense that that's what the compiler ends up producing, for templated code: the same code copy-pasted for however many different use cases you have.

Rust: Use of moved value. Type Paper does not implement the Copy trait.

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

um more like Rust: Sir this is a very good memory-safe Essay you get 100% Grades!!!! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž

Unix Shell is spot on.

[-] nawordar@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

UNIX Shell should be about quoting issues

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

Can I quote you on that?

I don't get the HTML one. Is it a reference to HTTP 418?

[-] drcouzelis@lemmy.zip 25 points 1 year ago

I think the joke is that HTML isn't a REAL programming language.

"This isn't even a paper... this is a flower pot."

[-] kboy101222@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I think a better analogy would be making HTML look like one of those template thingies people use for bullet journals

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Language snobs be like

Java is too verbose, Assembly is best ๐Ÿฅด

Ok nobody actually wants to write Assembly, but that's still what they sound like. Optimizing for number of characters you'd have to type if you used a text editor instead of an IDE, and dumb shit like that.

[-] stingpie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I like to program assembly. It's kinda fun to juggle around registers, and it feels really gratifying to to see it running at the fastest speed possible.

[-] grue@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

The Java hate is not about wanting to type fewer characters; it's about FactoryFactory-type boilerplate nonsense adding conceptual bloat that obscures what the unit of code is actually trying to accomplish.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

FactoryFactory classes are not something inherent to java, it's just as likely with any OOP language. I'm assuming you refer to something like AbstractFactory Pattern.

Most boilerplate can be automatically added by IDEs, and doesn't add any more congnative overhead than comments would. It's basically comments that are statically validated by the compiler.

[-] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Assembly is absolutely doo doo fard because theirs so many variations because of different hardware or operating system and lots of people mix them up leading to struggle town for hours just for a simple hello world program for the specific version you have.

I tried to learn and settled on GAS since that had better examples of code I could find online
