I learned Turbo Pascal in high school, before we switched to Visual Basic.

Nobody just tells Prolog what to do. I mean, you can try, but it'll sooner send the terminator than do what you want.

Go Lang is what... a lead balloon?

ABAP anyone? No?!

I can't program so I don't know how this relates first hand. I like that it's funny and I gain context from the funny. +1
pixarpizza
As a amateur programmer, it's hilarious. And I use only two of these. (Python and I'm learning PHP)

ADA95 is a fully functional gun. It does - however - have fifteen safeties and very vocally informs you when you are wielding it wrong.

As posted on this very same image a few hours ago, last time it was reposted.

Assembly: it can be any weapon you want, but you have to design and build it yourself.
PeterNormal
Assembly is raw iron ore. It would be a gun or a knife if you bothered spending 1000 hours working with it
KaiserGSaw
You forgot Assembler, it does exactly what you tell it to do, even if you dont mean it to.

PHP always gets a bad wrap, mostly because people never use it properly.

In college I had a class on C++ and one on perl, but I learned bash in my Linux course because it was convenient to do so

Binary is the Language of Bender...., "Kill all humans."
RainesLastCigarette
Okay, but like, how hard is it to actually learn programming? This sounds scary af.
TheJelle
Ist not that hard. There are great free tutorials out there. Take a look at Codecadamy for example. I suggest C# on windows or Java else.
RainesLastCigarette
Hmm, I'll look into it, thanks!

Fuck you, Perl is the best language in the world. I often try and use regular expressions to search for things in my house. Doesn't work.

Also, I just realized that this is exactly what I need Siri or Alexa or Cortana to do with bluetooth stickers/tiles/etc
Deletingmypastandfuture
No Ada?

Assembly code is a large heavy rock. When it works it's great but most times you just crush your foot.
pewterpenguin
This list looks like a list made by someone who only knows about those programming languages and those weapons from other comparison lists.
Rodvitner
Nunchucks aren't actually that hard, if you train 2-3 times a week you can become quite good with em in about a year.

Can confirm Java is a 240G. Fucking null pointer exception took me a week to solve as an intern.
thecuteocalypseishere
Meanwhile my mom dug up her master's thesis, which has a program in the appendix written in some version of FORTRAN
mazer433
Fuck that language.
WeatherWeaver
The only language I took an actual class for was FORTRAN, because all the big weather models are still written in it. Partly because 1/2
WeatherWeaver
it's good at what it does, and partly because no one wants to have to pick another language and then translate it all... 2/2
fadecomic
Fortran (now lowercase) is still heavily used in computational physics. I use it everyday, and it has Incorporated modern features.

FORTRAN is a zip gun. COBOL is the word GUN written on a bunch of small strips of paper that you wad up into spitballs. 360/Assembler is 1>

So what's the best way to learn the art of the shiv?
pseydtonne
Go to prison... or become a neurolinguist.
Grumposstuff
That was my answer.
RAIYGO
240g? You mean 240B
cogs
I started with COBOL & FORTRAN in the mid-'70's, which is why I'm a hardware guy today.
eat9bagsofdicks
What about Matlab?
NeverCast
Yeah I'm still not sure how to get that to do what I want, and my trial ends soon
TheBestRussian
It can build the most perfect rocket ship possible, but you have to buy each component separately and renew your access to them yearly...

Lisp. On fucking point lol +1

Clojure is a shiv with a machine gun attached

LISP was CS100 when I was at Berkeley. Took it from Brian Harvey. Fubar was his favorite variable.
cheeseguy3412
Yyyeah... was going to refute this, but realized the only guy I know that uses this designs missiles.

Lisp is elegance only matched by some macro assemblers.
dog135
I learned AutoLisp, which is/was AutoCAD's language in 1992. I still remember a program that ended with 14 close parens.
edm2016
Fun fact: if you were crazy enough, you can type lisp straight into the ACAD command line! Totally in compiled!
MFDork
()()()()()(((()()()))(()() there, I did Lisp.
mrayetch
Parenthetical fail
ixex
You are short two closing parentheses. Shame!

What about COBOL?
CGWN
Now we wait for people to sass COBOL without realizing a terrifying amount of companies they rely on every day still use it.
devnull791101
cobol is a gun made out of lego, its modular but it the pieces only fit one way
pixarpizza
Time bomb obviously, or were you born AFTER y2k?

It's still a thing

I'm trying to get into programming. What is the best language to practise? I'm currently trying python
bamcockseverywhere
Perl is like Python except less arduous. I'd recommend it.
MFDork
The language that's right for the job; that's the reason there are so many languages.
pixarpizza
I think Python is fantastic for mastering the basic concepts, personally. I'm going to PHP, but don't recommend it since I am only it for 1/
pixarpizza
A specific project I've got in mind. Learn Python, then C or Java. And spend some time dealing with the basics of SQL. You'll need it later.
pixarpizza
SQL allows you to do advanced stuff, and will really be useful should you ever need to do databases .
HenryFondle
As someone that's semi-professional.. Your first language is the hardest. After you get all the basics down the concepts travel across.
HenryFondle
From there, you learn which language is the best for the thing you're doing. I use bash when I need an answer, python when I need to write a
HenryFondle
program, C++ when I build a robot. Python is still a good language to learn because of ease of use, syntax, non-typed, portable, and its
HenryFondle
popular and lots of support/examples. Python's readability makes it excellent for teams when you do code reviews.
