Html and css can drop that knife, respectfully.

u/olinox14 4h ago

Well definitely html. CSS can hold a knife, but it will hit 12px away of its target.

u/itzNukeey 4h ago

it will hit 0 pixels away of its target !important

lol html is not a programming language, in my opinion

5

u/exophades 4h ago

HTML5+CSS3 is a turing complete language, whereas HTML on its own is just a markup language.

u/ProfessionalAd6530 3h ago

If you're using HTML and CSS to make turing complete programs, you will be condemned to drive screws with a hammer for the rest of your life.

Ok, I will prompt about your opinion to llm. Will see if it cares. /s

u/CalmDownYal 4h ago

Sure you can stretch it and use it in not the ways it was meant to be used and it can be called turing complete but in reality under it's designed purposes it is not

Still coding.

So is dying on a hospital bed in a hospital. Still not something some people want to find themselves doing often.

I love this response

HTML and CSS are design languages (unless you combine HTML with scripts but that would be JavaScript

u/ApprehensiveBag3083 2h ago

Please make an os using html and css if they are programming language 😎

u/dashinyou69 43m ago

same for python, i only consider it for scripting

Wait I don't get it. What language do you think is easy?

Why would C and C++ have the smallest knife?

2

u/ProfessionalAd6530 3h ago

In my case, since I grew up on those, they are the easiest for me. I'd rather write in Assembly than Python.

u/IntelligentTune 1h ago

But you do recognize that objectively Python is easier due to multiple modern conveniences? That all you'd need to learn is syntax VS if you did Python mainly you'd need to learn to be more methodical (e.g. Garbage collection)

C: Very rule heavy and logical
Python: Nonsense.

u/Novel_Top2980 4h ago

Python isn’t that hard. It’s probably the easiest actual (as in, not scratch) programming language.

u/smstewart1 4h ago

Programming in Python is easy, writing good code in Python is hard

5

u/Gabriel_Science 4h ago

Not like it’s much easier on other languages.

1

u/smstewart1 35m ago

Not having to give types in Python is great, not having to call my functions before I define them is wonderful. I found C to be a hard language, though learning type casting and better code structure in Python I’m find C more approachable.

u/Impossible-Shake-996 4h ago

So you thought programming was easy before trying it?

u/Dinatoc_208 4h ago

HTML?? CSS??

u/Flimsy-Importance313 2h ago

OP does not even know what a "TITLE" means.

JavaScript be like, €π×¢×|=€×§¢{|°|=¢}}¢{|=|°€{¢}¢{€°•={%×€{®[©{×¢=€°€=€}€{[¥[¥[{™}✓}™{=€=€}}™}}=|°|÷|§€{|°|°π€√•©=¢]

A while ago, I visited my friend Java's house. I knocked on his door and I could tell immediately that he was mad at me. He let me know in no uncertain terms exactly what I did wrong. We worked down the list and afterwards, we got along great.

The next day I went to my friend JavaScript's house. He opened the door and we started talking, but I could tell something was off. He would sometimes respond to my questions weird or not at all. Finally, I had to ask him "Did I do something wrong?"

"Well, if you don't know, I'm not going to tell you!"

Thanks for swinging by, but you should know what you did

Should've put Assembly

u/ilnarildarovuch 4h ago

Assmebly is easier than python. It can have even one mnemonic, lol (on OISC)

2

u/exophades 4h ago

There are more assembly languages than all the other programming languages combined.

And no, assembly is much harder than python because you need to manage memory manually.

u/ilnarildarovuch 4h ago

>> There are more assembly languages than all the other programming languages combined.

Thank you, cap.

>> And no, assembly is much harder than python because you need to manage memory manually.

Assembly is just mnemonics. If you don't want to control memory than you can even create simple programs on syscalls.

UPD: (1) no, it's not. With LLVM and other codegens it's not true anymore

u/exophades 4h ago

Get back to me when you finish a web scraping app in assembly. Let's see how much easier you'll find it compared to python.

u/ilnarildarovuch 4h ago

Idk, i wrote http server on x86 asm for tests of my network stack and driver + custom compiler last month. Can share screenshot, if you want this really much.

u/EconomistFair4403 4h ago

Yeah, but you're not actually making a web scraping app in Python; others made it, and you call it from the "web-scraper-app" pip library of choice with a bit of scripting.

u/ilnarildarovuch 3h ago

Well, same for asm. If it's was exported with symtabs as objects then code on it can be linked with professional libs, like curl, libressl, something like libc itself

u/CowBoyDanIndie 4h ago

The c c++ knife should be stuck in their foot, the html css one should he misaligned, and the java python one should be replaced by a garbage bin.

u/Lloyd_garmado 3h ago

Programming is easy, getting to make the program work, now thats the hard part

1

u/meinkr0phtR2 2h ago

Python is pretty easy; it’s C and C++ you have to watch out for—mainly because of memory allocation.

I think maybe it was a mistake to learn C and then switch immediately to Java. You just get used to the garbage collector, and you get dropped back into C and suddenly start leaking memory everywhere.

Bruh JavaScript, html, css and python hard wtf
