      This, but unironically. That is basically exactly how it started (after “J#” IIRC), minus a few wrinkles ironed out because if you’re reinventing the wheel, might as well try not to make the same flaws the old one had. Of course things branched out from there and C# has been a very different beast from Java since the 2000s.

        I the beginning, C# was basically “Java, the good parts”, developed from scratch as a new language though. J# was developed in parallel as a replacement for Visual J++, and could run essentially unmodified Java code.

        At a previous workplace, we had projects that were combined C# and J# projects. It was a bit strange.

          The best feedback I ever got on an assignment in grad school was “wow, your homework looks like a textbook!”

          It may not always be correct, but it’s always pretty!

    I don’t get the HTML one. Is it a reference to HTTP 418?

      I think the joke is that HTML isn’t a REAL programming language.

        I think a better analogy would be making HTML look like one of those template thingies people use for bullet journals

    Language snobs be like

    Java is too verbose, Assembly is best 🥴

    Ok nobody actually wants to write Assembly, but that’s still what they sound like. Optimizing for number of characters you’d have to type if you used a text editor instead of an IDE, and dumb shit like that.
