Programming Language Tier List 

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:

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

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

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

Got it. Programming === "Frontend Development"

Bro is a HTML programmer😂😂

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

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.

The best language is the one that pays your bills.

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

I think you are Front end dev

NEVER LET THIS BRO COOK AGAIN 💀

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

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

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

C: Hall of fame JS: GOAT No fucking way

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

Python: confusing garbage JavaScript: 1 + 1 = 2.0000001

"Python is overrated" ChatGPT is laughing at the corner

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

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

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

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?

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

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

I know this is a joke because 1) you put Python above PHP 2) You put R at the bottom 3) You put Javascript at the top 4) You put C and C++ in the same category.

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

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

Bro's a wordpress developer☕️

Imagine not having lisp on this list. It paved the way for sooo many modern features we take for granted

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

how to trigger an entire community

"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.

Meanwhile scratch: 🗿🗿🗿

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

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

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

You know its time to go to bed when you see videos placing JS above C

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

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

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

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

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

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

The most bottom means niche but it doesn't mean bad. Most people I met who use them are not programmers like engineers or business analysts. You just can't use it for general purposes.

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

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

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

This mate is absolutely a frontend development

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.

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.

How to trigger every programmer:

You forgot C#

Python: Decent JS: gOAt 💀💀

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

I think C++ is also in the GOAT tier because it's the industry standard.

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

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

how much you are wrong ? him: YES

As both a JavaScript developer and C++ dev, they’re both goated.

putting JS in GOAT is the most chaotic evil thing I've seen all week

java left the chat

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.

The best language is what makes your job done without complaining imo

Aint no way dude said python is confusing lmfao

first time heard that python not making any sense

R is top tier. Love that shit

Assembly Language be like: aye aye aye why am i not in there?

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

The people complaining that you can't write I++ in python are the same people that refuse to set their tab to 4 spaces, because it is "too annoying to do it"

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

Python and JS not both being basement tier is crazy

Bro reignited the battle of Python vs JavaScript

pov: you started programming recently

**Trash talks on Python** **Likes** **Puts JS at GOAT tier** **Dislikes** **Puts C++ at Hall of Fame tier** **Likes**

R is fantastic, cause its not only a programming language, its a language to do statatistics and data tasks. You'll see the difference in js and R when you try analize data with both of them

Mans is 100% a front end dev

The R ecosystem makes the python ecosystem look like childs play when it comes to models. I can't recall how many times i wasn't able to effectively model something in python like a multivariate logistic regression with multiple random effects, and then I look at the R side and bam, there are multiple packages with multiple implementation. The language itself might have some quirks like base 1 indexing (but cmon, that's not a blocker by any means), but the R community puts python's DS community to shame. This is likely because R tends to attract a more seasoned user.

Bro woke up and chose violence

Python: print(“Hello, World!”) JS: console.log("Hello, World!") C: #include int main() { printf("Hello, World! "); return 0; } C++: #include int main() { std::cout

"C cant compet with all the modern language." Literally the fundation of computer software and all the OSes:

JS is the GOAT on letting the user confused

Say you are a front end dev without saying it. 😂

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

My favourite moment when JS returns me [object object]

Matlab: costs money, don't need to say anything nore

For people complaining for putting python lower than other languages he is refering to the lack of syntax most programming languages have.(c++, java, c# etc). Also javascript is the main language used in web development. I mean your comment wouldn't exist without it. Also why is everbody being so toxic? IAlso for the people saying that TS is better than Js. Note that TS compiles to js (I'm not saying TS is bad) but I use js more because it is easier for me with dynamic typing almost like. js is also used with node.js to make server side applications. Not to say python is bad becuase I use it for writing server side application with flask and deep learning with Tensorflow. I personaly have to deal with the struggle writing the python syntax (becuase my first language was c# using with unity). But then I got used to it. So yeah the syntax is confusing for people who got used to most languages (exceptions being Lua for roblox, kotlin(where semicolons are optional).

I think C is really GOAT because it was really revolutionary.

bro is the type of guy that learned C and C++ for several years but got so used to it that he struggled to learn python, yet signifies why he says it's "overrated"

When you never graduate past Jr web dev

Am I the only person who agrees with everything on here

In my opinion programing languages are just a tools for coding your project and as such are highly dependant on context. Basically you use: - JS or Python to write ok code but do it fast. - Java, C# etc. to write good code but do it slower. - C, C++, GO, Rust to write great code but do it even slower - Assembly to write ideal code at a snail speed

Me who use assembly and machine language:

Js over python? By that much? No thanks

Rust maybe deserves hall of fame, and c and c plus too, but js in goat, buddy as someone who makes web apps and apps js is a NIGHTMARE
