### **Introduction**

*cracks knuckles* Here we go

4x Welcome

everyone hates java because you need a huge and clumsy jvm to run it, abysmal startup times, verbosity and because programming in java mostly means working on the most boring business logic legacy codebases written by indian ex-farmers who themselves despise their job almost as much as starving to death. also, you have to sell your soul to the devil, who goes by the name of larry ellison.

but then

everyone hates C because it's the ultimate footgun. it's physically impossible to write correct code.

same for C++ except for templating, which is even worse. forgot a semicolon? 111 errors.

everyone hates javascript because of its random type coercion and poor language design. sort([1, 11, 2]), variable hoisting and objects as maps with prototyping and mixing pre- and self defined properties? also, it's literally impossible to write a program that runs on the first try without errors. wait, i have a better idea ... why not use it on the server? i'll just use npm so i can left-pad.

everyone hates PHP (which stands for Personal Home Page) because of it's InConsIstent standard\_library $namingConventions, security problems (yay for eval($\_GET['foo'])) and, oh yes, mixing code and html. it's slow. it's impossible not to write spaghetti code in it. it's not so bad as it once was - the most recent version even introduced partial unicode support!

everyone hates python for its global interpreter lock and the inability to move on from 2.7. it's like being stuck in the 80s.

everyone hates ruby because it's too fucking slow and too much dark magic going on. if it wasn't for that abhorrent monstrosity ruby-on-rails, it would have gone the way of the dodo decades ago.

ruby used to be the crack epidemic for vulnerable youth developers, but now everybody grew older, wiser, got their life under control, sobered up and thus ditched ruby.

everyone hates haskell because it's not really usable in the real world (strictly academia only) and either way, nobody really gets what a goddamn monad is. you could specialize in haskell and starve to death in a world where software developers are the most precious resource.

at least it's not lisp though. (((((help)))))

everyone hates rust because it's the oh so cool new thing to do and it's so much better, the ultimate language to rule them all and every last piece of software absolutely must be rewritten in rust but, honestly, the borrow checker keeps me from getting anything done. also compile times duh.

everyone hates D because ... wait, nobody hates D because nobody uses it. also, why settle on D if you could use rust? D is for people who can't escape the sunk cost fallacy.

everyone hates golang because no generics and you're pretty much at googles mercy if you specialize in it, and we've seen how well that worked out for android devs.

everyone hates swift and kotlin for not bringing anything new to the table. they maybe improve the worst problems (of java and objective-c) a bit, but in the end, they do nothing other languages haven't done better decades ago. pretty much the only revolutionarily good thing swift did was killing off objective-c. in the land of the blind, the one eyed is kind. java devs love kotlin only because at least it's not java.

everyone hates perl because, duh, that's perl? i thought i cat'ed a binary executable by accident. my speaker starts bleeping when i view the source code of some scripts.

C#? oh right, let's just forget what microsoft did to us for the last ~30 years. they'll certainly never use their power for evil again! i can't even remember who steve ballmer is anymore.

typescript? an interpreted language that has to be pre-compiled before use? javascript's heap of dung with glitter and pink ribbons on top?

webassembly is not a programming language but everyone still hates it as it finally removes javascripts inherent open-sourcyness from the open web.

there are a couple of dead languages nobody hates because all people who hated them are also dead. looking at you, pascal/delphi. not basic though, everyone still hates basic - it's already genetic.

if you want a good language for writing a telephone switch, use erlang or elixir.

i don't know much about R, but after seeing an economist use it i was ready to kill myself - or rather, the economist. anyway, it's far too slow to be of much use for actual software development.

everyone hates matlab because ... well, matlab isn't a programming language, it's a kind of fancy and overly expensive caluclator that specializes in university lock-in.

assembly used to be pretty good "language" if you're criminally insane. nowadays assembly knowledge is only relevant for failed games by bored multi-billionaires.

i don't know if shell-script counts as a programming language, because it's probably not turing complete.

there are some languages that may or may not be better than C/C++, like pony or nim, but nobody except for their inventors know. wait, that's not completely true - pony's compiler is not even self-hosted and written in c, so not even the inventor of pony actually uses pony.

now there's only one language left, and by principle of exclusion it may be the one that doesn't suck.

it's brainfuck.

One Quantist, two Quantists

*These were the turbulent times. Everything had been static for too long. It was, like a tensioned spring, inevitable. The world waited for a reaction, and a reaction came. It started over the Middle East, with proxies warring with proxies.*

*Though this time, the world fell apart like dominoes, involving Eastern Europe, Africa, Southern Asia, even going to a full-out war between America and China. The Doomsday clock showed one minute before midnight. But the imminent extinction of the human race as a whole didn't happen.*

*There were some reasonable people not pulling the trigger, which would inevitably kill all people on our planet. These would be remembered as heroes... if anyone knew their names. But the Rubicon has been crossed. There was a stock market crash compared to which the 2008 one felt like a breeze. Though the stock market as we know it doesn't even exist now. The dollar is now worth nothing, as the yuan is. They're just worthless pieces of paper now. The world fell into anarchy, with no one able to stop it.*
Hi everyone! Welcome to our new geopolitics server, The Turbulent Times (or T3 for short)! I hope you will enjoy your stay!
