C++ could be Keiths

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago

The official mascot for C++ is an obese, diseased rat named Keith, whose hind leg is missing because it was blown off. The above image is a contemporary version drawn by Richard Stallman.

Our mascot is the Elephpant and I like to think PHP developers are also Elephpants.

C#itheads - those are the guys that show up to the emulation project I work on insisting we would drastically improve by nuclear rewriting millions of lines of code into c# (or another language occasionaly).

It's a 20ish yrs old c++ program, we're never doing it but someone will show up trying to push the topic every couple of months.

[-] Rez@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

As a junior dev, who mainly works with C#, wf improvements are they talking about? I always thought that C++ is way better for when performance is important, like in emulation. At my company, the seniors keep talking about how we should move away form .NET to C++.

[-] TeoTwawki@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Usually some excuse about being more accessible from someone that just doesn't want to leave their own comfort zone - non professionals playing at being professional after coming across our github. See also: complaints about not having an installer download (strictly clone and build)

I just want these damn vagrants off my lawn... I wouldn't really mind if the delicious smells from their chefs wasn't a constant distraction.

[-] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

I'm under the impression that ansible is Turing complete.

Nothing for JavaScript?

Javascripters, maybe?

[-] filtoid@lemmy.ml 28 points 2 years ago

Or perhaps JSters (pronounced Jesters)*

*Meant as a turn of phrase and not a criticism of the language.

[-] ursakhiin@beehaw.org 11 points 2 years ago

Don't worry. They'll change it again next week.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

Alternatively we could pronounce it Joestars.

[-] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Can we just call you all jason because javascript has json

Perl:

Just another Perl hacker, (sic)

This was coined by Randall Schwartz on Usenet a very long time ago. The comma has become part of it despite it originally being necessary for the English sentence it first appeared in.

Part of being a Perl aficionado is to write a japh script, that is a Perl script that prints out the above line, comma and all. The more obfuscated it is, the better. Another part is to not write code like that in production, at least not without comments explained what the heck the symbol soup is doing.

"(Perl) Wizard" has been applied to those who are notably proficient, thought that's usually a title bestowed by others.

The self-deprecating alternative is "funny character(s)" for both the symbols that appear all over Perl code as well as those who use them (I think this one was coined by Perl creator Larry Wall himself).
