also I just realized that Brazil did NOT make a programming language entirely in Spanish and call it “Si” and that my professor was making a joke about C… god damn it
this post is probably too nieche but I feel like Lemmy is nerdy enough that enough people will get it lol
This is a very apt description.
Lua is like using duct tape for everything. It worked to save the Appollo mission so it should work anywhere.
Visual Basic is like using the tools you found in a cardboard box when you cleared out the house when your uncle died. You’ll get random, super specialized things, but if one of these old tools breaks, you just have to continue with the remains.
Cobol is like using the toolshop at the Renaissance fair, only that the tools are original, not reproductions.
Brainfuck is the like your kid’s toy tool box. Yes, there’s something that kinda looks like a plastic hammer, but good luck using it for anything other than role playing.
