C#: So you just took java's essay and changed the name?

/s

This, but unironically. That is basically exactly how it started (after "J#" IIRC), minus a few wrinkles ironed out because if you're reinventing the wheel, might as well try not to make the same flaws the old one had. Of course things branched out from there and C# has been a very different beast from Java since the 2000s.

I the beginning, C# was basically "Java, the good parts", developed from scratch as a new language though. J# was developed in parallel as a replacement for Visual J++, and could run essentially unmodified Java code.

At a previous workplace, we had projects that were combined C# and J# projects. It was a bit strange.

I don't get the HTML one. Is it a reference to HTTP 418?

Language snobs be like

Java is too verbose, Assembly is best 🥴

Ok nobody actually wants to write Assembly, but that's still what they sound like. Optimizing for number of characters you'd have to type if you used a text editor instead of an IDE, and dumb shit like that.

The Java hate is not about wanting to type fewer characters; it's about FactoryFactory-type boilerplate nonsense adding conceptual bloat that obscures what the unit of code is actually trying to accomplish.

Missed the opportunity to draw in a teapot for HTML.

Rust: Use of moved value. Type Paper does not implement the Copy trait.
