Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
TIL about the greek question mark
Tell me, can you tell the difference between these two characters?

Like r/programmerhumor, this community is already full of people who literally never programmed anything more than Hello World before.
And just like Reddit you're complaining about it for absolutely no reason. How about we try to be a bit more welcoming and a bit less gatekeepery.
That's kind of an absurd position when the explicit purpose of segmented communities is to gatekeep content.
I realize my attitude is negative, but r/programmerhumor was not my crowd and it looks like neither is this community. There is no place where I can find memes about a large part of my life and I'm frustrated.
"Missing semicolon", "light IDE is for psychopaths", "JS sucks", "AI is just if-statements", I just can't relate to those jokes and after the 100th repost I still don't think they're funny.
I'm curious, what would you prefer? Reposts suck, but dunking on the languages everyone agrees are bad and complaining about debugging is the only version of programmer humour I'm familiar with.
I found this blog article with some xkcd comics that I find hilarious, if that helps
XKCD is indeed awesome.
Just because a meme is not reality doesn't mean it can't be funny.
yea... every modern IDE makes it extremely obvious of the unicode character.....
SO.... yea...
If you really wanted to be evil, zero-width space is the worst.
You don't see it.
I get this warning in my IDE (VS Code) so I feel safe:
The character U+037e ";" could be confused with the ASCII character U+003b ";", which is more common in source code.
Well, there goes my diabolical plan, crushed like a bug under someone else's shoe. Back to the drawing board, I guess.

I thought zero width whitespace characters were the ones to go for if you want to be evil.
Laughs in just removing all semicolons because it's not necessary in JS.
It is recommended. But in TS it is not necessary with rare exceptions.
That's what's really irks me be about JS--you can do just about whatever but you're not supposed to.
It's an imperative language, but best practices are to use it functionally.
You can omit semicolons, but best practices are to use them.
You can use sloppy equality, but best practices are to always use strict.
JavaScript reminds me of an older brother who happens to be the most laid back stoner you could meet. "Like yea man, you should probably use semicolons, but I ain't gonna narc"
Here's a nice list of homoglyphs https://github.com/codebox/homoglyph/blob/master/raw_data/chars.txt
Just remove everything that looks like a semicolons, problem solved. You don't need semicolons in JS
Unicode was a mistake.
