No Perfect Language

When it comes to programming languages, there is no such thing as a perfect language. Each language has its own strengths and weaknesses, and choosing the right language for a project often depends on the specific requirements and constraints of the project. In this article, we will discuss the concept of “no perfect language” and explore some of the reasons behind it.

Diversity of Needs

One of the main reasons why there is no perfect language is the diversity of needs in the software development industry. Different projects require different tools, and no single language can meet all of these diverse needs. For example, some languages are better suited for web development, while others are better for data analysis and processing. As a result, developers often have to make trade-offs and compromises when selecting a language for a project.

Evolution of Technology

Another reason for the lack of a perfect language is the constant evolution of technology. As new technologies and paradigms emerge, the needs of developers change, and new languages and frameworks are developed to meet these changing needs. This rapid evolution means that no language can remain perfect for all time, as it will eventually become outdated and replaced by newer and more advanced alternatives.

Subjectivity of Perfection

Finally, the concept of “perfection” is inherently subjective. What may be perfect for one developer or one project may not be perfect for another. Different developers have different preferences, and what one developer considers a perfect language, another may see as flawed. As a result, it is impossible to create a language that is universally perfect for all developers and all projects.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the concept of “no perfect language” is a reflection of the diversity of needs in the software development industry, the constant evolution of technology, and the inherent subjectivity of perfection. While this may seem like a limitation, it is also what makes the world of programming so exciting and dynamic. Developers have an abundance of options and tools at their disposal, and the challenge lies in choosing the right tool for the job.

Yes I called Excel a language. What are you going to do about it?

I love how there is fake screen recording going down to fake that you are speaking at typing at the same time

If you have wooting keyboard or any keyboard that has very low actuation, no need to counterstrafe for valorant

I'm gonna lay this out and frame it. In JavaScript of course.

Im attaching this to the next MR as a reasoning why I did the task in Excel. Thanks

Let the devs pick whatever poison they want and see the results. Why they all pick JavaScript? Why bother asking? Can't deny the results? So deal with it if you can't handle the shame.

I've used 1000s of languages and I still like Typescript a lot 🤷‍♂️

Didn't he just prove that some languages are better on certain situations? It may not be perfect, but there is definitely a preferred. Unless you can tell me Excel is also perfect for making triple A games, sure…

Wait, but this doesnt disprove the notion of perfect language for a problem. 
If anything, the video proves that different languages have different values when solving a problem, meaning there is a TOP language for said problem.

being able to write anything in anything is not really an argument against there being a perfect language for a type of problem

Binary code is the ultimate language

Why cant there just be one universal language?

Exactly! The only reason for use of node.js on the backend is if you have a tiny backend and don't want to invest into dedicated back-end developers or full-stack devs. I.e. a simple DB and CRUD API for few entities and quite low performance requirements is fine to implement it in node.js. Cost of introducing new technology into the project tech stack will be bigger than cost of using not-optimal technology. But the more complex and more scalable your back-end becomes the more costly wrong technology will be
