What is the katana of programming languages?

What is the katana of programming languages?

Python

Lisp

perl

Arch Linux

Gentoo

>fast
>light
>made with inferior materials and ancient technology

C

lulz

python allows you to quickly prototype and bang out code doing alot, but C will create programs that are katana like. could go either way

Ruby. It's Japanese.

C++
>Pretty average
>But because of the history behind it everyone thinks it's god tier
>Normies think it's the best
>Can only slash one way
>Who needs guards

C#

php has been folded over a million times.

C. Extremely sharp but breaks easily, and you only use it because you don't really have a choice.

Crystal will make C obsolete.

>* will make C obsolete.
People have been saying that for decades.

Ruby.
Japanese, looks pretty, largely outclassed

Ruby.

>japanese
>hands down one of the most elegant weapons
>you feel pretty cool when you use it
>people using it have fancy haircuts
>a little bit ancient

forth

>will make C obsolete.

Like the thousand meme crap before? Allow me to assume you are just fishing for (You)s and don't actually believe this meme.

>Elegant
A trait someone with shit taste points out
>Feel cool when you use it
Maybe if you're a weeaboo, senpai

>exclusively used by fedora tippers

Rust

Replying the proper way.

>*OBJECT ORIENTED LANGUAGE* will make c obsolete
>c++ exists and hasn't replaced c
very much elicits neuron firing

>fancy and elegant looking
>too fragile for actual fights
Probably Ruby.

also Crystal will make golang obsolete, not C.

>replies are about languages that are fast and/or sharp

you guys are fucking losers

see

Fortran.

Obsolete as fuck and it never was extraordinarily good overall, despite serious effort to create something good.

This.
Just like samurais you spend most of the time staring at the opponent while doing nothing, and in the end it is all decided with a single blow. After that, you are either dead or have won.

Rust.

Massively overrated, seems amazing to novices, too clunky.

Python would be a butter knife.
Javascript is a spoon.

>too clunky
I'm too lazy to learn the borrow checker as well

And you're generally just dead because organized soldiers and random peasant militia with spears, pikes, bows -never mind guns and cannons and the like- kick your ass.

i dont think you understand what op was trying to say(or maybe i didnt)

python would be the swiss army knife

you can do a lot of small stuff easily and quickly, but for anything bigger you might want to get a better suited tool for the job

A Katana is not fast or light. It's a fucking two-handed sword. You don't deserve that neckbeard; shave it off before I take your fedora.
