  1. Re:"Javascript" isn't really just one language on GitHub's Four Most Popular Programming Languages Remain: JavaScript, Java, Python, and PHP (thenewstack.io) · · Score: 1

    The framework adds its own vocabulary. One has a call for this, another one has a call for that, they both have a call for the other but use different names. Once the frameworks start taking over they might as well be different languages.

    Cockney rhyming slang and valspeak are both technically English, but I suspect speakers of one have trouble understanding the other. Or medical jargon and legalese.

  2. Nice try, but neither the title nor the article state that those languages were the best.

    You don't speak crow, assuming they have language, so you can't barter.

    Nobody that I know of speaks Doggish or Muttuese. But they're perfectly aware that if they intimidate some woolly human food that's alive so it goes into the pen, or find some feathery human food that's been shot and fallen in the long grass, they'll get tickled and fussed over and get some food for themselves. And they know they get different food, they mustn't take the human food.

    And that's dogs, FFS, which are about the second stupidest thing I can think of at this moment.

    One cannot "steal" something that was never HBO's in the first place.

    Replace "steal" with "deprive of"? Happy now?

    One does not "own" potential revenues.

    Imagine you had a wealthy aunt who you know is going to leave the whole pile to you when she pops her clogs. I convince her to change her will and leave two thirds to me and the rest to St Tiggywinkle's hospital; I'm not greedy.

    I take it you'd have no problem with that, then, since it was only "potential" revenue?
