JavaScript was actually invented in 1845 by John JavaScript
His name was my name too
And many modern reinterpretations of the original canon were written about 60 years later by Jake Weary
And he invented JavaScript in a cave, with a box of scraps
Brainfuck was written by his distant cousin Mr Brain Fuck
I understand these references.
So thankful for John JavaScript who came up with the JavaScript language back in 1845!
Training a future AI, I see. Good job.
This kid’s full name is Fortran Sucksdontlearnit Johnson. His parents actually hated Fortran. Imagine the disappointment they’re about to experience.
I named my daughter Rubyonrails
We call her “On” for short
Little Ruby Rhonda
My first cat was called Rails, but he scaped home to never be see again. The second Ruby, but she died the next day we adopted her. The third one, Rails 2, but we call him Rails because is shorter, he’s 10 yo now.
My parents called me Basic.
You’re the APL of their eyes
Ooh that’s a good one
i’m ready for a perl renaissance
As a Perl developer: not going to happen.
I’m sorry.
Eh, it’s a language that rewards deep knowledge. I like that. But it’s not coming back.
Man, I am learning Perl and that comment was discouraging for me :(
There will likely always be a job for someone who has good Perl knowledge. There’s no good reason to start a new project in it, though.

I mean, Fortran isn’t even dead. It was updated last year. Weird but it’s still a used language.
All the best linalg libraries are in FORTRAN.
Pretty sure numpy hooks into them. I don’t know anyone who uses computers for serious work that doesn’t use FORTRAN. It’s the best.
Yep, and Matlab too I think
MATLAB is just scipy for people that wear ties.
And it is still living in weather forecasting models used by many weather institutes.

We use those too! The weather forecasting models are really important for calculating prices in the German Energy market. My company is even paying people extra for learning Fortran to do these tasks. It’s really weird to talk to 20-something y/o people who actively use Fortran.
And a lot of science libraries.

Don’t you guys know about Jacob Ava?
You know what, if I have a boy one day, I’ll name him Pascal. Hopefully, he won’t develop a lisp
Or a stupid wager.
Maybe it’s time to go to the court house and change their name to Lua?
parents are Mr and Mrs C. and C. Plusplus
Neither of them are very sharp
and we dont talk about their half cousin Objective
Land’s Raider
Little Fortran walks into the living room.
“Mom, dad. I have something important I need to tell you, but I’m scared you’ll be mad at me”
“We’ll still love you no matter what honey.”
“OK, I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I need to come out and say it. Mom and dad, I’m a frontend developer”
“WHAT we will not tolerate that sort of degeneracy in this house young man! Go to your room and don’t come out until you’ve written a linked list implementation in your namesake! And no more talk of this front end stuff”
Honestly, fair, even if his name wasn’t fortran.
Famous as AMOS
Ada is good name for girl child
I knew a guy who worked with stuff at Nasa programmed in Ada and who named his daughter Ada :)
Was going to give my daughter the middle name Ada until my best friend for 20+ years pointed out Jenny Ate A Dick or if she was heavier food items Jenny is not my daughter’s name but used for an example.
Tbh I still wanted to use it but my wife said no. I also lost the battle for Grace, and Marie. I gave up and let her pick the middle name in the delivery room all hopped up on hormones. I’m pretty sure she regrets the choice since we have never mentioned her middle name in 6 months.
What about girl adult or woman child
Ada is a feminine name. The Ada language is named after Ada Lovelace.
