Javascript being disruptive technology is.. A take for sure.

When your self driving car is written in react you'll understand.

This is pretty much nonsense lol

[–] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 2 points 2 days ago

It makes sense once you accrue 1000 hours on /g/ (10 years ago, it's a much dumber place now)

How the fuck is C++ more traditional than C?

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 46 points 5 days ago (1 children)

To me it looks like to position within each of quadrant want taken into account.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 34 points 5 days ago

It really seems like the creator didn't bother with spacing at all. Something that did consider spacing within quadrants wouldn't have its items this closely packed together.

[–] aaaaaaaaargh@feddit.org 22 points 5 days ago

I think it's not meant to be more traditional, the icon positions seem random and only the square they're located is important.

We should reimplement it in Rust

[–] richardisaguy@lemmy.world 55 points 5 days ago

This is a very confusing image

Ok, now ... where does TempleOS and HolyC belong on this chart?

[–] julien@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

It needs a Z axis for hobby vs enterprise.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

There we go, there, that actually makes sense to me, thank you!

I want to know what a corpo hobbyist traditionalist language is though, lol.

Like uh... I make vba / excel macros in my spare time for fun, lol?

[–] julien@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

That's where retrocomputing comes into play I guess, Haha!

Those people running Windows 2000 or XP on old computers or VMs and making old-school dotnet web forms apps for it.

I can imagine myself doing this one day, just for nostalgia. 😄

[–] jwt@programming.dev 62 points 5 days ago (1 children)

*Sigh*. Fine, let's introduce a z-axis specifically for Terry A. Davis.

Putting Apple under disruption not tradition lol

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Author is either a troll or drank the apple marketing koolaid.

Where's the drunken conglomeration that is Scala?

Btw. It's my favorite language

[–] jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago

People with the skill level necessary to create such memes don't know what Scala is

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 20 points 4 days ago

Uh, Linus Torvalds is a hypedev?

Btw, is this meme old?

[–] loweffortname@lemmy.blahaj.zone 35 points 5 days ago (6 children)

Cowards are too afraid to place vi anywhere on these axes...

[–] 3x3@lemy.lol 15 points 4 days ago (3 children)

It’s open source and traditional..

Nah, vibe coders are definitionally reliant on highy disruptive, literally economy destabilizing 'AIs', that are made by the most gigantic of megacorps and foundations.

That would make them so far into soydev they are off the chart to the bottom right, and it would also mean you'd be grilling Impossible Burgers.

What is this shit? I don't recognize half of this garbage. How is terminal + text editor not an option?

Looking at how much of a reach some of the disruptive + proprietary stuff is... Yeah, there isn't a lot of recent innovative proprietary stuff, is there?

Although I would put Chrome under "disruptive". It absolutely was when it released decades ago, and even now it's still changing the browser landscape.

[–] shirro@aussie.zone 13 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Chrome was disruptive.

Part of the reason for its disruption is that Chromium is open source (BSD licence), built on Webkit that was open source, which was built on khtml from the KDE project which was open source. That is how we got to Microsoft Edge also running on Chromium.

If it wasn't for the monoculture aspect and the actions of some of the companies using it, khtml->Chromium would be a great open source success story.

I started using git to track my dotfiles maybe one-ish years after I first fully adopted Linux as my daily driver.. I think it's been a little over 5 years and before I converted to nix that git history told a story of immense frustration of never being able to get my desktop and laptop to be identical. For some reason some projects only ran on one of the 2 machines. There was a period in my life when I didn't use my desktop for 2 months because it just didn't work well enough, OCD is really fucking painful. Nix saved my relationship with both of my computers, and my desk, and my spine. I haven't used my laptop and maybe a month and I may have changed my workstation a couple hundred times in this period, I will with absolute confidence say that the next time I decide to use my laptop I can just run git pull and nixos rebuild and my laptop will be just the same as my desktop (minus obligatory build fixes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago

I think they just put them in quadrants with no attention to placement.

[–] artiman@piefed.social 20 points 5 days ago (5 children)

What is the software between Linus and rust? Never seen that icon before

[–] inbeesee@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Zoologist, it's a person that studies animals for a living. Hope this helps

[–] Tja@programming.dev 32 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Zig, a language for systems programming, alternative to rust.
