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:

Bro is a HTML programmer😂😂

Non-JavaScript developers: This language is trash JavaScript developers: This language is trash

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

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

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

Python: confusing Javascript: no errors, your code is fine but i am bored so error at 1:7 lmao.js

*GOAT* _apparently_ stands for: *Goofy Ostrich Acting Tough*

Got it. Programming === "Frontend Development"

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

C: Hall of fame JS: GOAT No fucking way

1-based indexing for mostly mathematical-related problems makes far more sense than 0-based indexing because matrices in mathematical equations always start from row and column 1. 0-based indexing would mean a zillion off-by-one errors. This dude's absolutely never used MATLAB

I think you are Front end dev

The best language is the one that pays your bills.

48K likes ... 40K dislikes I think we all know why

1-based indexing is the most accurate and mathematical way to functionally program, so R and Julia are the best ways to do data science, no one goes to the library and asks like "Give me the 0 book from the left to right, please" on the shelve, right?

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

"C might not able to compete with the other modern languages" C *created* most of the modern languages.

If you use R you USE R, all serious non-industrial stats is done in R and not Python. It’s a niche but essential programming language

Bro was doing November fools XD 😂

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

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

My favourite moment when JS returns me [object object]

Meanwhile scratch: 🗿🗿🗿

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

Holy shit dude, you put JS above C and Cpp? Whats wrong with you?

"Python is overrated" ChatGPT is laughing at the corner

Saying matlab is trash is an insult to my years as an engineering student.

*Engineers writing Aritifical Intelligence in python* Meanwhile frontend team :

As a 10 years+ developer, I can say it out loud, JS is pure garbage

Bro reignited the battle of Python vs JavaScript

Python being a copy and paste language is the most accurate sentence about coding I’ve ever heard. As a data analyst who uses Python daily, I applaud the analysis

Bro's a wordpress developer☕️

Python: confusing garbage JavaScript: 1 + 1 = 2.0000001

As someone who's been learning GML, it's a GOAT because I just guessed my third function today

Every language has its purpouse, I don't understand what's the point of ranking them lol.

No increment operator, bruh that's such a random thing to nitpick 😂

I love how he provides literally 0 reasons for why JS is GOAT

People who agree that every programming language is good for the reason they are made

me whos thinking where the hell is c#

Alternative title : When you're web developer and you HATE DATA SCIENCE so much 🤣

Pretty sure he did it on purpose. To get the reaction. Now we are all engaging.

You forgot C#

I feel like it’s more depends on what you are using the code for

how to trigger an entire community

CORRECT TIER LIST: Goat: C, C++ Solid: JS, Python

How is the most confusing language oftentimes used as the first language for beginner programmers to learn? The vast majority of the time Python is like reading a book, it's that straightforward to comprehend.

NEVER LET THIS BRO COOK AGAIN 💀

"Doesn't have increment operator" just use x +=1💀

"PHP is the Nickleback of programming languages" **Proceeds to put JS as the goat** 😂 u can tell he's a rookie front-end web developer.

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.

python has numerator... For example for index, value in enumerate(variable): variable[index] = 1 Not that you need it that often, since for by default returns current item from iterated variable. You can use it when you need use prev values to process with current one.

Python is too confusing and you put javascript at the goat tier ????

Wow i think it's the first of those language tier lists where I don't agree with a single placement. And nothing is more outraging than putting js on S tier and I'm saying it as a js developer.

Trying to code in Matlab feels like I got a lobotomy

When you've put R to the bottom tier all Data Scientists are started to hate you

Doing my boy MATLAB dirty, only language that can do fast Fourier transform in one line, GOATED

I cannot believe you'd put JS at the top 😂😂😂

Python is one of the simplest languages in terms of getting started in programming. It abstracts a lot of the type complexity other languages have. “No increment operator” and “Weird for loops” this is clearly somebody who is basing the language off of syntax rather than developer experience/intended use case. I’m by no means a Python developer, I use the language that best fits the needs of my project. There are languages that I find to be inherently worse due to better alternatives for that use case, but Python is the kind of declarative programming. R is a language built around data analysis and is used by a lot of data/genomic scientists to work with large datasets. Could you do this in any other language? Sure. Use whatever language you find to be practical with your experience and performance/scalability needs. By not tying yourself to a “great” language and building a skillset in a magnitude of languages for different tasks you grow exponentially as a developer. Now all of this isn’t to take away from experimentation. If you want to write an operating system in Javascript, then by all means do so. Taking a naive approach and not testing what other technologies/languages would perform for your project through benchmarking and readability doesn’t allow you to build intuition about what “good” practices are in which tech to pick.

1-based indexing makes sense for a language that is designed for matrices. 0-based indexing for a matrix would mean that a matrix with a row length of n would cause the final element in that row to have an index of n-1, which is annoying if basically all you're doing is matrix manipulation. I also get the impression that it was designed to be easy to learn for researchers who need to analyze data or do mathematical modeling, but who haven't written code in years.

I’m so happy I read the comments. Instant relief

Same with python like when it says “indent error: expected 4 spaces but got 3” is so confusing, when I add another space to make 4 spaces it says indent error

in python, aren't += and -= incremental operators?

"python is confusing" meanwhile, JS: 1 + "1" = 11 1 - "1" = 0

Me: Mom, can we have tech lead? Mom: We have tech lead at home. Tech lead at home:

Ngl but each time i try c or c++ without a massive application like visual studios, I can never find a working compiler without my computer throwing errors in my face before I begin

Python is confusing for its environment management (venv / conda / poetry / pip / package manager in distros)

I’m learning R right now at uni. I really enjoy it with all of the packages you can work with to create data visualizations. It’s awesome how much easier it is to work with data sets in R than a lot of other languages too. But that’s just my opinion.

"I never get error in my code" "Really! How?" "Because I use HTML"

As someone who used R for quite a while, it's not geared towards developers but for Statisticians and analysts. To make their life simpler, it uses 1 based indexing which for their intent and purposes is just fine.

Ok... So what about ti-basic? I love it, personally. Here's the simplest custom die roller possible: " Prompt S,A Disp randInt(1,S,A " S is # of sides, A is # of dice to roll. Outputs as a list, {1,2,3} Its fun to optimize kilobytes :))

JavaScript: "yep String + NaN = 🍌" yeah this sounds goated. Python: "we use for each as the default for loop" OMG SO CONFUSING

Tell me you are a web developer without telling me you are a web developer

He is definitely right, the for loop in python is absolutely wack it has weird concatenation rules on strings and Integers, throws an error when dividing by zero (try dividing by zero in JavaScript) , topples can't contain strings and Integers at the same time just to name a few 😢😢.

Worst thing about R is that my school forces the biology students use it to make graphs. I'm a CS student, and that shit confused the fuck out of me.

It makes sense for MATLAB to use 1 based indexing since it is based on Matrices and we start counting the the rows and coulmns from 1 and not 0. For example: a_12, denotes the element of the first row and second coulmn of the Matrix A.

JS is so great its community has made multiple frameworks to fix its issues and still new ones are coming out regularly

Increment opperator as one of ur biggest gripes with python... thats insane Heres one, string continuation conflicts with indentation, 3verythings an object, the amount of libraries and bloat is insane especially when u run something, or just python is an api for C or BLAS.. like, its so easy Also i love python for standing up projects, its just nor always the tool for the job

i was programing a bit in python php and C++, i was always hating on js (java too but that isnt related) and i always felt that its overrated but i see a lot of ppl using it and making stuff with it should i try changing my opinion abt it and try learning it?

How to trigger every programmer:

1-based indexing makes actually a lot of sense for Matlab considering that it’s specifically designed for usage with matrix and vector operations where it makes way more sense to talk about rows and columns starting from 1

python's for loop is weird but you can't say that overall python's syntax is weird, it's actually really readable

Bro had a irl backend error

I'm studying R for my Data Analytics but for me, R is not a programmer but rather a command line similar to a Linux bash terminal. But it is essential on data analysis.

Matlab is for engineering purposes, it has lots of great add ons like simulink, that make it easy to simulate. And how can you not understand for loops in python?

all i know how to do is just make script mods with the GECK or Creation Kit to understand C++ or C# is a pretty hefty task for me.

I was stuck on a leetcode code question yesterday for like an hour because I couldnt do (i += 1) in a for loop.

Python: Decent JS: gOAt 💀💀

how much you are wrong ? him: YES

Python for loops are intuitive, not weird. They're just different compared to C-style loops. And you don't need an increment operator just do i+=1 And it's probably that's gonna be added soon

I write primarily in JS and Python for work. I fundamentally have no idea what is going on in either as all you have to do is instantiate endless objects. I don't understand how anyone can believe there is a discrepancy between them.

R is super specific in it's usage and just not meant for standard programming tasks. It should even be on that list and for it's pupose it performs alright.

first time heard that python not making any sense

PHP needs more love than Python. C++/C > JS

I’ve never been much into coding. I took a couple of classes in highschool and never got into it. Now for my civil engineering degree I have to learn matlab and I absolutely hateeeeee it

R is top tier. Love that shit

Aint no way dude said python is confusing lmfao

+=1 is the increment operator for python. It looks very similar to += 1, but it’s very different

“There’s no increment operator” I’m not no heavy python supporter but how hard is it to type i += 1?
