Probably not a good title to seek upvotes. If it does get upvotes, more programmers get share in your pain 😅

Html is a programming language.

That’s right there with calling JS, PowerShell and Bash “programming languages”. I said what I said.

Edit: I’m a developer myself and it looks like I triggered everyone just as the post said. Thanks for playing!

Tell me you don't know what a programming language is without telling me you don't know what a programming language is

tbf javascript is not a programming language, it is the language of the devil

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 1 points 7 months ago

What if the devil is a programmer?
Would explain a lot of things actually

I think what people generally mean when they say programming language (other than just a language to write a program) is that the language is turing complete. Even with this more limited definition, JavaScript, Bash, and Powershell are turing complete and therefore programming languages.

Figure out if they prefer spaces or tabs, insist on the other.

Please note this won't work on Pythonistas as they've already had their spirit thoroughly broken.

What if you use tabs for indentations and space for alignment?

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's alright... but have you considered spaces for indentation and tabs for alignment?

[–] Reptorian@programming.dev 1 points 7 months ago

Uh, that would be infuriating to see. (Yes, I can see tabs in KDE Kate)

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk -1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I feel like this is a debate that doesn't exist - 4 spaces bound to tab is the only actual answer.

[–] brian@programming.dev 1 points 7 months ago

most things seem to have settled on this, but tabs are so much better for accessibility. programmers with bad vision can have trouble differentiating smaller indentation levels, while some of them just bump the font size up so high that 4 spaces takes up too much screen space. each one can set a tab width that is comfortable for them. https://alexandersandberg.com/articles/default-to-tabs-instead-of-spaces-for-an-accessible-first-environment/ has some good arguments

with a forced formatter and a configured editor there really isn't any argument for spaces

Hard tabs are much better as someone who works with an age diverse team where vision issues are a serious issue. Four space tabs are optimal for you but there are other lived experiences.
