@ConnerArdman

These comments have gotten a little... out of hand. Let me clarify a few things:

1. The point here was not to say that some languages have no use cases. It was just meant to be fun and discuss languages I do/don't enjoy using and their overall impact on the industry. Use whatever you want to use or whatever works for your needs - I use many of the languages I ranked lower in this list frequently.

2. I never said I don't understand Python or that it was garbage. I use Python professionally basically every day, and I ranked it fairly highly. I just focused on the negatives as many of the positives are a given. The point is to share my deviations from the standard take. 

3. My "problem" with Python and why I didn't rank it higher is that it consistently breaks conventions. It might even make better choices than languages before it, but imo it deviates too much from syntactical norms. This makes it a pain in large dev teams as people who don't work in Python every day have to look at loops with code like enumerate(range(whatever)) and try to convert that to traditional loops in their head. Or they have to look at list comprehension messes that oftentimes prioritize conciseness over readability. The increment operator was just one tiny example of this, but there are many more. Also I personally am just not a huge fan of the whitespace sensitivity over curly braces, but that's mostly personal preference. 

4. Yes I am aware TS exists, and when I say JS I am more of referring to both of them. This might heat some frontend devs, but TS is a syntax extension of JS, it's closer to a framework than its own language.

5. Some reasoning behind JavaScript in GOAT: It can easily be used on the frontend and backend, and it has the most developers who know it. This gives it more versatility than arguably any other language, and it helps prevent context switching. It's an incredibly efficient way to work for full-stack developers. There are more jobs using JavaScript than any other language. The open source ecosystem/community is larger than any other. Despite what random comments will tell you, it's generally pretty performant in the modern day. This is less an artifact of the language itself and more the deep level of effort put into implementations of it, but still worth stating. Also, I just enjoy the syntax personally, but at the end of the day that's just a personal preference.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk, carry on with your intended JS flame. Just be kind to each other please 🤝

Python: confusing garbage
JS:

@oxfaaaaa9687

Fun fact: the brain of the guy is coded in JavaScript

@BarishChandran

Got it.

Programming === "Frontend Development"

@ek7735

You know its time to go to bed when you see videos placing JS above C

@isthenew-wy2kd

if Python is confusing then wtf is JS doing up there 😂

@sleepycatgaming8644

"C might not able to compete with the other modern languages"

C created most of the modern languages.

@_tym3k

when he said "JS is the GOAT tier" I knew this video was a joke

@davidli9887

As a mathematician, I hate the fact that the programming language index starts from 0

@someone4860

I think you are Front end dev

@kumar-jatin-2000

The best language is the one that pays your bills.

@satyamsharma3524

Bro is a HTML programmer😂😂

@kushiji

On the serious note:
C is a goat of a language, without C no high level language would even exist.
R is not garbage, it's language for statistical analysis. Its dataframes, vectors and the ability to work on indices speeds things a lot.
JavaScript's weak typing makes it very unpredictable, I wouldn't trust it outside the frontend.
Python is subjectively the easiest language in the world and its vast suite of libraries is one of its stronger points. Pytonic code means its written in a concise and opinionated way as well as conforming to the standards that take advantage of the performance optimizations.

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter which language is better. Learn how solve problems, learn good practices, use the right tool for the job or/and the one you know the best and can be most productive in.

@itznukeey

JS is so goat that they have created another language to fix its weird behavior

@felixpuscasu5625

JavaScript GOAT. Tell me you simp webdev without telling me you simp webdev

@auxol4025

dont worry guys, his brain is just experiencing a runtime error right now

@AJ-Fish

1-based indexing in R and MATLAB is useful because it matches traditional math notation, making code easier to read for those with a math background. This can simplify translating math/stats concepts into code and reduce cognitive load on math-heavy tasks.

@NicoFye

Wtf, Python is confusing, but JS is GOAT? Give me whatever this guy is smoking

@Raichu_1_7

bruh forgot to put his favourite html and css on the GOAT tier
