Mediocre language for mediocre minds.

4 Name: !WAHa.06x36 05/01/04(Tue)01:38 ID:XYxTySqa [Del]

INSTANT REVIEW: Perl

After using it for eight years, I am still not halfway through learning it.

5 Name: !WAHa.06x36 05/01/04(Tue)01:39 ID:XYxTySqa [Del]

INSTANT REVIEW: Pascal

What good is it to design a language for learning and not for using?

6 Name: !WAHa.06x36 05/01/04(Tue)01:39 ID:XYxTySqa [Del]

INSTANT REVIEW: Modula-2

THIS IS JUST LIKE PASCAL, EXCEPT YOU HAVE TO SHOUT.

7 Name: !WAHa.06x36 05/01/04(Tue)01:40 ID:XYxTySqa [Del]

INSTANT REVIEW: Standard ML

People who majored in CS because they're too dumb for maths love this language.

8 Name: !WAHa.06x36 05/01/04(Tue)01:46 ID:XYxTySqa [Del]

INSTANT REVIEW: Python

A guy holding a gun to my head could make me write readable code too, but I wouldn't like that either.

9 Name: !WAHa.06x36 05/01/04(Tue)01:47 ID:XYxTySqa [Del]

INSTANT REVIEW: Visual Basic for Applications, Localized

I used this once, and I've been trying to forget it ever since.

10 Name: !WAHa.06x36 05/01/04(Tue)01:48 ID:XYxTySqa [Del]

INSTANT REVIEW: SQL

SQL is the COBOL of the nineties.

11 Name: !#usr/bin/anon 05/01/04(Tue)18:21 ID:YySFIYFB [Del]

You forgot VB.NET.

12 Name: !#usr/bin/anon 05/01/04(Tue)18:21 ID:YySFIYFB [Del]

... And C#.

13 Name: Sling!myL1/SLing 05/01/04(Tue)18:31 ID:x6GgmRhq [Del]

But he didn't forget Poland. ;)

14 Name: !h3/bEAAN16 05/01/04(Tue)18:31 ID:FG8NgWxM [Del]

INSTANT REVIEW: PHP

Consistency? That's the hobgoblin of small minds. php.net/manual/ needs more traffic anyway.

15 Name: Lain!KNzMOHRwcE 05/01/04(Tue)20:46 ID:jNc3zqIO [Del]

PHP SUCKS.

16 Name: Albright!LC/IWhc3yc 05/01/05(Wed)08:10 ID:Heaven [Del]

>>14: Agreed.

INSTANT REVIEW: Ruby

A programming language developed in Japan which is known by ten Japanese people and ten thousand geeky American otaku who learned it solely because it is a programming language developed in Japan.

17 Name: !#usr/bin/anon 05/01/05(Wed)23:05 ID:CxAXq+B1 [Del]

haha, GNAA is wapanese

18 Name: !#usr/bin/anon 05/01/07(Fri)06:43 ID:Heaven

>>17 gnaa.us is powered by PHP5. Team Barry on the otherhand, uses Ruby/PostgreSQL/NetBSD.

19 Name: !#usr/bin/anon 05/01/07(Fri)06:50 ID:Heaven

INSTANT REVIEW: mIRC SCRIPTING
Created to make the front end of some random IRC client have a bit more functionality, so then people went and made text editors, mp3 players, image viewers and web browsers and call themselves "coders".

20 Name: !#usr/bin/anon 05/01/07(Fri)13:55 ID:Heaven

[b]INSTANT REVIEW: HTML[/b]

It's not a language, doofus.

21 Name: !#usr/bin/anon 05/01/07(Fri)14:19 ID:Heaven

INSTANT REVIEW: BBCode

As dumb as the people who implement it and also not a language

22 Name: hk0!0khonVgaHI 05/01/07(Fri)15:02 ID:L0YmfdLF

INSTANT REVIEW: Javascript

A prototyping object based language that is a joy to use but is forever doomed to spend its years detecting browsers in web pages that insist on pixel-perfect CSS.

23 Name: !#usr/bin/anon 05/01/07(Fri)21:23 ID:Heaven

>>18 why did GNAA demand that 4chan admit ruby is awesome and port futallaby to it, then? :\

24 Name: !#usr/bin/anon 05/01/07(Fri)21:23 ID:Heaven

or maybe it was iichan, i forget

25 Name: !#usr/bin/anon 05/01/07(Fri)21:25 ID:Heaven

>>24
iichan used Wakaba and was never flooded (vericodes)

26 Name: !WAHa.06x36 05/01/08(Sat)01:49 ID:O24eTWL7

>>22

I was struggling to come up with something about Javascript. Thanks!

27 Name: !#usr/bin/anon 05/01/08(Sat)03:33 ID:Heaven

>>23

Could it be because they are a trolling organisation??

28 Name: !#usr/bin/anon 05/02/14(Mon)22:05 ID:e3W2mLkB

/INSTANT REVIEW: Lisp/

A language which mysteriously makes everyone who learns it sit around on IRC complaining about how every other language is worse than Lisp.

29 Name: !#usr/bin/anon 05/02/14(Mon)22:07 ID:e3W2mLkB

INSTANT REVIEW: WakabaMark

A language I can't remember how to use.

30 Name: dmpk2k!hinhT6kz2E 05/02/14(Mon)22:59 ID:F69jWDIM

INSTANT REVIEW: Prolog

slow(prolog).
esoteric(prolog).
mostly_useless(X) :- esoteric(X), slow(X).

?- _

31 Name: dmpk2k!hinhT6kz2E 05/02/14(Mon)23:01 ID:F69jWDIM

INSTANT REVIEW: BASIC

Older versions are better.

32 Name: dmpk2k!hinhT6kz2E 05/02/14(Mon)23:30 ID:F69jWDIM

INSTANT REVIEW: Shell

echo "You must be looking for this: find /usr/ -name perl 2> /dev/null | grep "/usr/.*bin/perl" | sed -e "2~1d""

33 Name: dmpk2k!hinhT6kz2E 05/02/14(Mon)23:31 ID:F69jWDIM

INSTANT REVIEW: Shell [correction]

echo "You must be looking for this: `find /usr/ -name perl 2> /dev/null | grep "/usr/.*bin/perl" | sed -e "2~1d"`"

34 Name: dmpk2k!hinhT6kz2E 05/02/14(Mon)23:36 ID:F69jWDIM

INSTANT REVIEW: Lua

Only game programmers use it.

35 Name: dmpk2k!hinhT6kz2E 05/02/14(Mon)23:45 ID:F69jWDIM

INSTANT REVIEW: Forth

IS RPN SUPERIOR;

36 Name: hk0!0khonVgaHI 05/02/16(Wed)06:08 ID:6JdIinsf

INSTANT REVIEW: perl

Simultaneously the best and worst write-only programming language.

37 Name: !#usr/bin/anon 05/02/16(Wed)17:47 ID:Heaven

INSTANT REVIEW: Javascript

I turned it off.

38 Name: !#usr/bin/anon 05/02/18(Fri)03:39 ID:sflUXsFL

39 Name: !WAHa.06x36 05/02/18(Fri)21:49 ID:2nZo6VYJ

>>38

Wow, that is pretty awesome.

40 Name: Albright!LC/IWhc3yc 05/02/19(Sat)06:32 ID:Heaven

I guess... I don't see why it has to be so complex. Check for an @, then check for at least one . after the @. I can't think of any valid, modern email addresses that break that.

41 Name: !WAHa.06x36 05/02/19(Sat)13:19 ID:2nZo6VYJ

>>40

The rules for what a valid email address are are much, much more strict and complex than that. You can do what you suggested, but you'll catch lots of addresses that are invalid, too. This is for making sure an address is strictly valid.

42 Name: Suzuran_Majere!FJv214OAd6 2005-05-11 05:15 ID:jFPgsdSH

>>38

TECO called, and it wants its macros back (and some coffee).

43 Name: #!usr/bin/anon 2005-05-11 10:12 ID:W4cqn3km

INSTANT REVIEW: Python

44 Name: !WAHa.06x36 2005-05-11 14:29 ID:Heaven

>>43 lacks funny.

45 Name: facek!DSv3yyjLCE 2005-05-11 18:34 ID:cD3NLWo9

INSTANT REVIEW: FORTRAN

Your parents dabbled with it in college so they say "know how computers work, stop talking down to me!"

46 Name: #!usr/bin/anon 2005-05-11 19:58 ID:e3LwI36E

INSTANT REVIEW: Python
My code actually looks pretty now! But I can't remember what it does anymore.
