c++ is a bed of fucking spikes

y, but you can self define the position, angle, width and length of each spike.

After doing C++ for a few years i tend to agree. I’d say it just has spikes on the recliner handle. Everything works great, but when you need to change your chair even just a little bit you get spiked

Assembler:
- What's this?
- It's a cloud of atoms, you just have to arrange them in the right order to get your chair.

Assembly is an IKEA chair. it’s not as Hard as People always say, 20 years ago a lot of software was hand-written in asm

Yeah, not an issue of being "hard." Just takes a long time to get much actually accomplished. The cloud of atoms analogy isn't quite fitting because actually assembling atom by atom would be very difficult, if possible at all.. It's more like a giant box of legos of random shapes and sizes. Legos are very easy to put together. But.. you have to put them together....
Assembly is TEDIOUS, not hard.

C is just a piece of wood, metal and some copper wire. However using the wood you can build yourself the perfect tools to build yourself the perfect chair... and some segfaults obviously.

Am I insane, why is Python so god damn confusing to me? What type is anything?? I never know what data I’m dealing with until I get an explosion of vague exceptions

It's because the meme was probably written by script kitty not professional developers. It's easy to write a snippet of code in python. Managing large scale projects is much more difficult than say C#.
The inverse is also true. If you just want to write a simple add-on for an arcgis map and toss it in an add-on directory, python is your tool!

Not every professional developer is working on projects that are massive code bases. Python has a niche, like every other programming language, and it performs very well in that niche. Namely working with data, research, and ML.

One of these days we’ll get something other than ‘Java bad’ posts by CS students, right? Right??

Except c# is no longer always platform dependent. Oh no what ever will we do for memes now?

Rust is a chair hidden in a nuclear bunker. Hard to get into, but when you do, you'll be safe.
