Programming Language Opinions Thread

Post you're opinions on the following programming languages + any more you want to comment on:

* Java, C, C++, Go, Rust
* PHP, Perl, Ruby, Python, Javascript
* Lisp, Scheme
* Ocaml, Haskell

; Hello World program
; Machine starts at state 0

0 * H r 1
1 * E r 2
2 * L r 3
3 * L r 4
4 * O r 5
5 * _ r 6
6 * W r 7
7 * O r 8
8 * R r 9
9 * L r 10
10 * D r halt

Test it here: http://morphett.info/turing/turing.html

It's far from optimized, but works for any input, provided the initial state is 0.

You are clever, but not clever enough to write "Hello world" in Lambda Calculus.

>>42
We destroyed this meme, stop

>>43
I must've missed that part, sorry. In my book this meme is still unbeaten. There are no implementations of "HW" in Lambda Calculus that I know of.

>>44
that's because it doesn't have a way to print characters
if you set up a church encoding of a monad you could

>>45
"Could" isn't good enough. If Lambda Calculus is anything related to programming then there should be a way to at least write "Hello world". This is so trivial it pains me to even speak about it. How can anyone in the computer science industry take Lambda Calculus seriously if it doesn't support even a "Hello World"?

Aren't Lambda calculus and Turing machines supposed to be equivalent? If that's true, how can a Turing machine do "Hello World" when Lambda calculus cannot?

>>47
Functional swindlers have swindled and shilled poor imperative goyim with their Jewish sophistry once again.

>>46
You could construct a lambda expression which is a Church-encoded list of Church numerals of the ASCII encoding of "Hello world!", but since you can write it in normal form, it's not very interesting as a programming example since it requires no computation.

>>46
If addition is anything related to programming then there should be a way to at least write "Hello World" with nothing but addition.

C

very good for systems programming but easy to misuse

C++

potentially allows you to write more readable C but most devs use it to write labirynthine abominations

Go

has potential

Rust

shit

PHP

it's so hackish and kludgy it makes C look well designed. most of people who develop in it are idiots

Perl

good for getting shit done

Ruby

see above, I guess; not sure why use it instead of Perl

Python

also good for getting shit done

Javascript

shit for anything serious but its ubiquity combined with endless ways you can fuck with the code has many fun security implications (see JSFuck for example)

Lisp

I'm not good at functional but I find it interesting so I'd like to learn it one day. also Lain

Scheme

not sure why would I use it instead of Lisp

OCaml

it's a mess

Haskell

looks elegant so I like it

>>51
forgot Java

Java

it's slowly becoming less shit but its programmers are worse than C++ programmers. I swear OOP emthusiasts are just making their life harder with all the virtual abstract interface factories, public getters and setters for single private variables and classes that consist of methods which call other methods in other classes by reflection

Check em
