@Cursorkeys That was my first thought too. "The language that requires you spend the most time on SO!"

Alternatively, "the language most popular among people lacking programming knowledge", or "language with the largest number of broken arcane libraries".
Also, why is the data limited to "views in World Bank high-income countries"? That smells of lying with statistics.
-
Shirley, ol' C# must be as popular only because of the extensive reference materials on life and everything authored by Jon Skeet and ol' Eric.
I keep a folder of bookmarks to a couple of them handy in case I ever stray from the path of light

No. That's JavaScript and PHP 's core democratic.

Not necessarily. It might depend on the availability of statistics of sufficient quality, with insufficient accesses from lower income countries to make anything statistically meaningful at all.

India isn't classified as a high-income country and they're hardly statistical noise on SO...

There are some people who genuinely believe that JS and PHP are great languages. Often because that's the only language(s) they know.

I know people very well versed in C#, who think JS is the best language ever.

I encounter tutorials on MS own websites that go like "Fire up node.js and copy-paste this code. End". So the cancer is spreading.

It does. If I detect someone trying to just cut-n-paste their way to “victory”, I'll deliberately break up my assistance into several pieces so they need to think a little, even if it is just to not cut-n-paste the explanatory text in-between. ;)

Also the "Here's a simple tutorial on how to use [thing]" which then proceeds to completely obscure [thing] by plonking everything into said example, up to and including the kitchen sink.

It's fucking infuriating. I want to learn how something works, or how to do something, and all I can find is "copy, paste, and look! you did it!". No, I didn't do anything, didn't achieve anything, didn't learn anything.

@Maciejasjmj VS has themes? TIL

@MrL That's because all those people never think about how someone coming in from the outside will look at their code and don't give a flying fuck about how comprehensible their "tutorials" are.
The best ones are those which highlight the pertinent parts, get rid of the optional and unneeded parts and show you how a basic implementation is wired together.
And then only at the end do you get a fully functional implementation.
And sometimes you get people who don't understand what they're supposed to do at all.

The worst case is when the tutorials, guides and blog posts replace actual library documentation and example sections. Want to quickly check if the URL you pass to method X needs to have
http://prepended or not? Fuck you, here's a ten-page guide with three whole sample applications that do random shit unrelated to the library you're using, go find it.

A: Use jquery.I feel like there's a ridiculously large overlap of those people and the people running developer interviews here. You tell them "no, I haven't used the Purple Monkey Dishwater framework yet but I know JavaScript" and they look at you like you have two heads.

@TwelveBaud I put it back. I just didn't want to clutter up the end of the thread with too many "me too" posts.

In those cases where the application of javascript is unavoidable I prefer Vanilla JS.
-
@PleegWat fuck those guys for appropriating the term "vanilla", something that usually means no frameworks whatsoever, for the name of their framework.

@boomzilla this, very much. I'm just extremely allergic to JavaScript, so I didn't even bother with reading the snippets. Also, I'm pretty sure that there really exists some obscure framework or library that's named VanillaJS and that's an actual library. So my little rant is still statistically justified.

If that's the case, seeing it's dethroned JavaScript, Python must be on the order of MUMPS.

Does Rust have computed goto yet?

Is that something like an indirect jump?
More like a retarded switch, afaict.
