Let's try this instead
So much bloat. So many boilerplates. Just
is enough.
Could you please file a PR ? 🤣
This gotta be ragebait, everyone know that a language isn't bad or good only for a single thing, hell there is no bad language, the reason why "python is better" is because you use it to make kids learn how to program, this is a good use, every other use is just...not good since it's slow as hell and the indented syntax make it hell to write with but i'il gave you that python > go for making kids learn.
There’s no bad language you say? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck
Don't you fucking dare speak badly of my beloved Brainfuck
In fact, take this fully functional Fibonacci sequence generator I did some time ago, so you can repent from your blasphemy by looking at its beauty.
Damn someone made Ogham script into a coding lang?
The fuck I'm looking at here?
Ogham Script, an old Irish alphabet
Looks like a bad LLM's try at drawing ASCII fish.
That isn't a bad language. It's pretty simple and it serves a cool purpose, which is to convey the power of a Turing machine. Now this is a bad programming language.
Malbolge is great for replying to anyone who claims that since programming languages are Turing-complete, any one of them is fit for the job.
You can transpile from C to Malbolge and then run it (this will probably take forever for most of C programs). I thought it can be used for obfuscation, and sure enough Wiki already states that:
JS?
runs for cover
I love Python because it's actually the second best language to do anything. For concurrency, Go is better. Also, you are terribly naive to judge a language only by its syntax.
