George had a fun time this Halloween.
I dressed up as a #PHP programmer this year. I think I frightened a few people. Ended up with a lot of candy tho. https://t.co/4FCQPsTZCq

@NathanOsman I dressed up as a Ruby programmer. Everyone I saw died of fright.

Shhhhh! Don't tell @jrg.

i'll just ban myself from this room now
Nathan Osman

Relax, I'm sure everyone sees the humor in it.
Though it would have been funnier if you dressed up as an Oracle employee or something.

i tried dressing up as an Oracle employee.
I got egged because I ruined MySQL and Java.

Well, Java was arguably already ruined :P

Java?
Spits out teeth.
Whaaaaaat

and it's dental abilities

I can't hear you over the noise of the zero-day vulnerabilities in the JVM.

oh, when did we start talking about flash?

i hate you.

Oh hang on.
I have a funny picture for that.

Whaaaaaat

wait, were you saying something about flash? I can't hear you over the one billion devices using Java
also, useful debugging is awesome
Nathan Osman
Nathan Osman
Those devices also universally run compiled C++ applications, so...

You're just jealous because we have prettier syntax.
Nathan Osman
Nathan Osman
Absolutely not.

only TeX is prettier

int main(){return 0;}

Let's see the shortest Java sample.
Then tell me which is more verbose.

take my empty source file.
0 bytes.
Nathan Osman

ಠ_ಠ
Does javac actually accept an empty file?
Whaaaaaat
Whaaaaaat
yes
Nathan Osman
Nathan Osman
Well, okay. Fair enough.
I feel like this would have been a better battle if we pitted Java against Go.
:P
Whaaaaaat

tabs AND spaces

What?
Whaaaaaat
Whaaaaaat
doesn't go need tabs?
Nathan Osman
Nathan Osman
Go is unique in that it dictates a formatting style. It's exclusively tabs.
In most editors set up for Go, as soon as you save the file, it reformats your code.
Whaaaaaat
Whaaaaaat
java: "lol format it however, idgaf"
Nathan Osman
Nathan Osman
Inconsistency :P
At least with Go, there's no runtime.
Just a single executable. No dependencies. None.
Whaaaaaat

now now. Let's remember that one language beats all others.

Brainfuck.
Nathan Osman
Nathan Osman
Er, and that beats others how exactly?
Whaaaaaat

Such a simple language
Only eight easily-memorizable commands
Nathan Osman
Nathan Osman
But does it butter my toast for me?
Whaaaaaat

With enough bytes, yes.
You can do anything in any programming language. It just depends how much work you want to do.
