how to decide on a programming language, a small guide
javascript: this is supposed to run in a browser
php: this is supposed to run on a webserver
python: you just want to get shit done
c: you like to feel pain
java: you are doing this for money
bash: sheesh, we get it, you really like linux, please shut up
perl: no
rust: you are trans
c++: you don’t even care anymore
pascal: you stopped caring in 1985
excel: i don’t know what you are trying to accomplish but you should stop
disohonorable mention to labview: you thought it would somehow be easier to debug a mess of crisscrossing lines on a map many times larger than your screen than commands written in a strict order and you were wrong
