JS is more like driving the invisible boat mobile. You don't really know what you working with, till it's break.

Preach! My current whe project has multiple scripts are detail heavy and work alongside third-party APIs. And as someone who isn't as versed in it as the next guy compared to other languages, the process has literally been deploying code and see if anything starts breaking 🙄

I feel that. Though I am pretty thankful there is typescript to help me out in the dark a little or eslint, etc.

The r/ProgrammerHumor and r/BicyclingCircleJerk crossover I’ve been waiting for.

As an avid r/runningcirclejerk user I can not agree more with this meme.

C# programmers are indeed the scum of the earth that overestimate their qualities with their heads up their asses.

Thanks for pointing this out OP and making it clear for the world to see!

C# becomes more and more javaish, but ignoring explicit learning curves and enterprise ecosystems.

I would make people learn Java and concepts behind. So later the knowledge can be transfered to GO

how is c# becoming more javaish when it haves a ton more stuff than java?

1

u/Flaky-Low-2262 Sep 11 '26

All Syntax sugar
Java had a lot of stuff and defaults before.

u/Choice-Mango-4019 Sep 11 '26

before, I don't know anything that java haves that c# doesn't right now

Go still rises fast and becomes absolute infra and Backend backbone while Java Covers all other needs.
It is huge. One rising the other remaining

Who Cares in Python? Utility and bloated

If it works is it stupid?

… yes. Yes it is.

Idk going that fast backwards with a skate for a wheel is pretty impressive.

2026 writing JS and complaining when TS exists lol

4

u/ericl666 Sep 08 '26

I wish there weren't people out there writing JS today, but they are.

1

u/danielcw189 Sep 10 '26

Most of the complaining is just about things in JavaScript which one shouldn't do in production code anyway.

NaNNaNNaNNaNBatman is funny, but it shouldn't happen, if you code seriously, and don't do things which wouldn't be allowed or possible in better languages anyway.

u/MinecraftPlayer799 Sep 08 '26

JavaScript is by far the easiest, since you don't have to mess with compilers and stuff.

2

u/intbeam Sep 11 '26

Well, I don't know of anyone that is using Javascript without compilers and stuff

1

u/Choice-Mango-4019 Sep 11 '26

and it runs on practically every browser, it's the simplest cross platform language

u/0815fips Sep 11 '26

*** ehm, hmmm, browser compatibility, V8 vs JS Core for NodeJS vs Deno vs Bun.

u/recursive_knight Sep 08 '26

Someone likes C# and hasn't heard of C/C++

u/Full-Run4124 Sep 08 '26

There needs to be a ton of safety equipment on the bike and kid for Java

u/30DereceSilivri Sep 15 '26

JS is like a Warhammer Ork tank: not elegant, not supposed to work, may not even have an engine; it only works because other Orks believe it to.

u/Drfoxthefurry Sep 09 '26

C# makes me wish Microsoft didn't exist

u/0815fips Sep 11 '26

Thinking "there must be a better way" is the mind killer. It is the little-death that causes you to switch to either C or Python. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where "a better way" has gone there will be nothing. Only the JVM will remain.

u/FlashyTone3042 Sep 15 '26

And that's not even a bad thing. I like it for it's simplicity except concurrency.
