C

lulz

python allows you to quickly prototype and bang out code doing alot, but C will create programs that are katana like. could go either way

Ruby. It's Japanese.

>>60509101
C++

>>60509101
C#

>>60509101
php has been folded over a million times.

C. Extremely sharp but breaks easily, and you only use it because you don't really have a choice.

>>60509124
Crystal will make C obsolete.

>>60510561
>* will make C obsolete.
People have been saying that for decades.

Ruby.
Japanese, looks pretty, largely outclassed

>>60509101

Ruby.

Like the thousand meme crap before? Allow me to assume you are just fishing for (You)s and don't actually believe this meme.

>>60512139
>Elegant
A trait someone with shit taste points out
>Feel cool when you use it
Maybe if you're a weeaboo, senpai

Rust

>>60509158
Replying the proper way.

>>60510561
>*OBJECT ORIENTED LANGUAGE* will make c obsolete
>c++ exists and hasn't replaced c
very much elicits neuron firing

>>60509101
>fancy and elegant looking
>too fragile for actual fights
Probably Ruby.

Crystal will make golang obsolete, not C.

Fortran.

Obsolete as fuck and it never was extraordinarily good overall, despite serious effort to create something good.

>>60509111
This.
Just like samurais you spend most of the time staring at the opponent while doing nothing, and in the end it is all decided with a single blow. After that, you are either dead or have won.

Rust.

Massively overrated, seems amazing to novices, too clunky.

>>60509106
Python would be a butter knife.
Javascript is a spoon.

>>60512855
>too clunky
I'm too lazy to learn the borrow checker as well

>>60512843
And you're generally just dead because organized soldiers and random peasant militia with spears, pikes, bows -never mind guns and cannons and the like- kick your ass.

>>60512864
i dont think you understand what op was trying to say(or maybe i didnt)

>>60509106
python would be the swiss army knife

you can do a lot of small stuff easily and quickly, but for anything bigger you might want to get a better suited tool for the job

>>60509124
A Katana is not fast or light. It's a fucking two-handed sword. You don't deserve that neckbeard; shave it off before I take your fedora.
