It's really a shame that JavaScript is the language the web was built on. TypeScript I would probably put in "Would Code In", at least it solves the strict typing issue.

[@jongeduard]

Both languages certainly have a lot of loosely typedness in common, and comparable disadvantages (both had to add those stricter 3 charakter operators like === to solve issues, PHP being the first one by the way). But I think we should stop all this kind of talking about programming languages as a whole being good or bad. There are advantages and there are disadvantages. Period. And the videomaker is just projecting his very personal and very limited, worthless ideas about things, while presenting those as if they are facts, which is bad.

[@dinobotpwnz]

"The web would not be the web without JavaScript"... you mean it might actually be good?

[@jongeduard]

​@@dinobotpwnz The thing is, JavaScript and HTML existed before the web became large, both with several initial design aspects that where not too great (also some good ones), but eventually it was the web that _made_ these languages better. The modern additions that came with HTML5 and ECMAScript 5 and 6 and later versions where mostly really great. Because they _had_ to be great, in order to support the modern web. What cannot easilly be changed is that initial old design part, in order to maintain compatibility.

[@crisp1081]

These comparisons are pretty weak and lack depth. You don’t really rank the aspects of each language; just what you understand from the few languages you know and the general complaints you hear online. You can use other languages to develop iOS apps. Objective-C(++) is an obvious one. If you build out your app as a framework you can use LLVM backed languages like Rust and Kotlin. React native even. Also Chris Lattner who initially began work on Swift literally created LLVM which backs the compilers written for a handful of the other languages on your list. All languages have there bizarre areas and weaknesses when it comes to tracking down compiler / parsing errors. JavaScript has the weirdest error when you don’t use semicolons and two lines end up being executed in the wrong way. Also has falsely and truthy. C++ gcc was notoriously bad at errors. Swift errors usually become complicated when you have a lot of type inferencing and generics. All of these things require you to be a better developer and hone in on that platform / environment. I don’t even know why HTML and CSS are here…

It really depends on what type of programming you do. I'm into reverse engineering software and low level coding, so C/C++/ASM/Python are king. C tends to be used for device drivers and embedded code, C++ can also be used for these as well. ASM is used for performance critical code, privileged instructions and also reading code for software you don't have source code for. Python is used for automating programming toolchain and automating various reverse engineering tasks.

[@tenthlegionstudios1343]

100%, subjective fun video. Pros and cons to all languages and then there are applications where you wouldn't want certain languages. Performance / embedded systems might not want a garbage collector, or the language might not compile cross-compile to the environments you are using it in. However, I like Rust over C++, and what rust is to C++, I think Zip is to C. C++/C have a lot of drawbacks with potentially having leaky memory abstractions, and dont catch issues that Rust and Zip do. Rust and Zip basically force you to write safer C and C++ code with better errors. And other languages are easier to code in and do things like garbage collect for you at the loss of perf/control. I am excited for Bun and learned about Zip through researching Bun.

For anyone coming here to get advice on what language to use: don't listen to this or any other ranking anywhere that isn't nuanced. There are some programming languages out there that are mostly trash at everything they try to accomplish, but those are usually niche and you are unlikely to ever actually run into them. When choosing a language, think about WHAT you want to code, on what hardware, what performance requirements the app has and any other limitations there might be. Usually, that'll steer you right towards one or more languages, within which you then have some more leeway in what to pick. Nine times out of ten, the discussions on which programming languages are better boil down to fanboys screeching at each other. The biggest deciding factor is, and will always be, how you, the developer, actually USE the language. Nothing more, nothing less. If you can't design a solid piece of software, then there's not a single language out there that will save you.
