Old but classic.

[-] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 weeks ago

I am old, so this tracks ;)

It may not be true but it's accurate.

[-] actually@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

I’m really unclear about when this was written, but it does not include rust or type safety

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 20 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah. I'm sure it predates Rust by the simple evidence that it doesn't take any cheap shots at Rust.

2009ish

[-] dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 6 points 3 weeks ago

URL includes /2009/05/ so I imagine May 2009.

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks ago

Or earlier, possibly

[-] catalyst@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

Ok the javascript paragraph made me laugh.

[-] arendjr@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

I would love to see Go, Rust, Swift and Kotlin added to this. Anyone willing to take a shot?
