now here's my take get ready

ruby is terrible shit and its packaging is awful and syntax more sugar than sense
phph is a mistake
perl is old shit
python is less shit but still kind of shit

ah yes fuck c c=+ and javascript and oh boi fuck java

accept rust love rust

@Doshirae sure here's more
- bad syntax, not the worst but not really readable or efficient
- meh package manager
- very slow, but not as bad as ruby
- old aka mostly forgotten and unsupported

@CobaltVelvet Isn't it normal for an interpreted language to be slow ?

@Doshirae it's not because they all do it that it becomes okay

@CobaltVelvet But that must be normal for a language interpreted to be slow, isn't it ?
It's not compiled, it can't be fast

@Doshirae look at v8's performances

the line between compilation and interpretation isn't so simple you shouldn't try to argue using it unless you know what you're talking about

@CobaltVelvet It's because I don't know what I'm talking about that I don't try to argue, I try to understand

virtualice @CobaltVelvet

@Doshirae well you try to understand quite brutally i'd say

anyway the difference between interpreted and compiled is merely about when you spend time do to optimizations. Perl, Python and Ruby does nearly all of them while running and that's slow. C and Rust does them as a separate step and that's the most efficient but bothering people for some reason. Java and V8 and on different points between and it's more or less efficient. Assembly is an interpreted language "faster" than C.

@CobaltVelvet I'm sorry about that ><
I'm not a native english speaker so I might be rude without noticing it :/
