Tech Twitter and social media often spark debates on the best programming languages, with individuals advocating for their favorites like Rust, C, Haskell, JavaScript, and Go.
There is a culture of comparison and sometimes toxic behavior among software developers when discussing programming languages, with an underlying theme of 'mine is better'.
While C is recognized as a significant language, newer languages like Rust, Zig, and Go are aimed at improving or replacing certain aspects of C, highlighting the need for different tools for different tasks.
The message conveyed is to use the language that suits the job best and your preference, without overly idolizing a particular language, as preferences vary and everything is subjective — except the widely shared sentiment about JavaScript being critiqued humorously.
