Python Perl Ruby - All the same all worthless

Never before have authors conspired together to make shitty implementations of their own languages!

Ruby: Interpretted AST, shitty garbage collector, any naive attempt at improving performance would do so. Written by a toothless jap who doesn't know anything about programming languages. Rips tonnes of shit off of a perl and does not improve upon them. Chugs memory like a slut chugs cum.

Python: Written by a total asshole who tries to deprive the language of anything useful. Interpretted usually and sometimes JIT compiled (psycho), used by blatant assholes (Bram Cohen). Python's performance is due to extreme naivete on the part of Guido. Chugs memory like a slut chugs cum.

Perl: Evolving over many years and often buggy perl's performance is poor as it Chugs memory like a slut chugs cum. It is designed by multiple people and is actually a pretty original programming language. It is wild and whacky. That said 36 bytes per value sucks and its optimizer sucks and so does its GC.

All 3 languages suffer from a real lack of research with respect to the implementations.

This means that php is the best, right?

Two choices:

[ ] SICP
[ ] GTFO

That's why I've chosen the Scheme path.

Why even refer to PHP, it's like kicking a rotten horse, what's the point.

One word, the forced Matsumoto.
One word, the forced Guido van Rossum.
One word, the forced Larry Wall.

I'll take the forced Guido van Rossum.

I know you're right, but you wont convince anyone. Don't waste your time trying.

Perl is pretty usefull, I used it the other day to parse some rail timetable data, Ive also used it to rip info from sites. 

I didn't think any other language is as strong on pattern matching as PERL to be honest. 

Apart from Java 1.5 which has now implemented a perl style pattern matching.

If theres something better for pattern matching like a c library or whatever let me know.

lolwut

There is more to pattern matching than is dreamt of in your philosophy, Larry Wall

PHP and C have PCRE. Java has a comparable implementation. Python is almost there, only lacking recursivity and conditional subpatterns.

Yeah.

I use Python sometimes though because it sucks less than Ruby/Perl.

And PHP5 for webdev shit.

Fuck both of them, C++ is superior.

Any language will have its oddities and annoyances that one has to work around. Personally, I rather like Perl and Python. I've never used Ruby. And PHP I tolerate because it's ubiquitous for Linux-based web development.

I laugh at the faggot who uses python then goes off to use PHP what a shit stain.

I use Python, Haskell, and C. Fuck all the rest.

fuck python, ONE WORD, FORCED INDENTTATION OF THE CODE, THREAD OVER

Lua, for an interpreted language written in C, actually doesn't suck.  Maybe that is because the author did "research with respect to the implementations."

Python
POWER WORD: FORCED INDENTATION OF CODE

THREAD TAKES 345643 DAMAGE.
THREAD DIES.

>>18
Lua is a respectable language.

Lua is fantastic, using Lua in my C code helped me reach the next level of skill in programming (for real! ;P)

The thread's dead. Go away, m'kay?

LUAJACKED

LUA IS POO-AH

Seriously how you can have 3 language be such failures

>>21
Have you achieved full SATORIZATION yet?

>>26
He probably needs to read SICP first, then maybe go back to Lua with his newly achieved mastery. Lua will help in getting things done, but to achieve Satori, Scheme is a shorter path. The fact Lua has the forced tail call optimization by spec will help him.
