  Wait, wait, don’t confuse terms. I wouldn’t want to hear the use of enshitification the same way people are wrongly using “gaslighting.”

  Yes, I agree with you on the sentiment. Sucks that the same bs posted on reddit is creeping into lemmy.

  But the platform is the same. Lemmy is not adding ads, or removing api access or shit like that.

    I’m seeing this in a few communities and it’s really frustrating. It’s not surprising, because it’s not like Lemmy has something built into the software to prevent it, it’s just disappointing.

  That’s not a Reddit thing. That’s just a thing.

  And python was created to teach programming. And PHP was something a guy used to maintain his webpage. If a language is useful it will gain popularity, and I never used a language which I didn’t find frustrating at some point.

    There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.

      True, but its not that useful of a thought. Or it seems to be used in a thought-terminating way. As if we shouldn’t criticize languages. As if they aren’t tools that are able to be improved upon, or they’re all made equal.

        oh i never considered that reading of the quote

        i read it as more: complaints about a language, particularly the amount of complaints, don’t mean it is a Bad Language that should be dropped in favor of something else

        in fact the complaints validate that the language is being used by people, and that is imo a decent proxy metric for the usefulness of the language

        so please complain about your languages’ shortcomings! i hate so many things about terraform / sh / python / golang / java and will gladly rant at length, and then go right back to using them

        except groovy

        fuck groovy

  Yeah. I don’t like writing JavaScript and I hate when I’m forced to use it to do something that could be handled otherwise except reasons. But especially with later versions it’s not the worst thing in the world. I work in ruby on rails and love hotwire that lets me avoid js more than before. But still js isn’t literally Hitler like people make it out to be
