When Your Silent Mouse Still Screams To JavaScript

Content Coding languages are used by comp want them to do. People communicate C or Java, just as they communica Japanese. JavaScript and Python are languages. JavaScript JavaScript (or Java) is a multi-pl language with a lot of capabilities. It's sional and commercial applications, inc as the Android operating system. Mark entirely in Java.

The existential crisis of the this keyword across programming languages is pure comedy gold. In C++, it's a straightforward pointer to your class instance—neat and tidy. Java keeps it classy with a reference instead. Then Python swoops in with its explicit self parameter like "let's just call it what it is, folks!" But the real punchline? JavaScript, where this is whatever it feels like being that day—sometimes the window, sometimes an element, sometimes your function's parent... who knows! It's the programming equivalent of that friend who changes personality based on who they're hanging out with. No wonder C developers are looking at JS like they've witnessed a crime against computer science.

Content I heard of a guy who put a js function in every piece of spec workcompetition work he did. For every day after full payment was due, the function would lower the opacity of body by 1. As soon as full payment was given, he'd remove the function. If the client paid in full and on time, everything was fine, if they did not, their site would slowly fade away over the course of a few months. edit: Here's the code: var due new Date('2020-01-01'): var today new Date(); var daydiff Math.ceil((due.getTime() - today. getTime()) 86400000); var opacity daydiff 0 ? (100 daydiff) 100 : 1; document.querySelector ("body").style.opacity opacity; Give Award Share Report Save

Let's face it—no matter which programming language is your "baby," you're still a card-carrying member of Nerdville. Population: you and everyone else reading this. The only exception? MATLAB users who get the prestigious title of "engineer AND nerd." That extra badge doesn't make your code run any faster though, just means you paid more for your license. And poor FORTRAN devs are just "old and nerd"—like that vintage Star Wars t-shirt you refuse to throw away despite the holes. Still compiling on that machine from 1995, aren't you?

The harsh truth nobody talks about: backend code does all the heavy lifting but gets zero recognition, while frontend code gets all the applause. And then there's the UI – basically just a pretty face slapped on top that gets all the credit from users who have no idea what's happening behind the scenes. It's like being the bass player in a rock band while the lead guitarist gets all the groupies.
