What programming language are you?

Lost User

The same way I did. I suspect they just select a random language at the end of the quiz, and their randomizer is as good as their questions.

Couldn't complete the quiz. No way to answer none of the above on question 8. :elephant: working for a megacorp or having to do sales.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

Ok, so I'm Visual Basic too. I can come to terms with that, but the description . . .

People can easily read you, and you try to get along with everyone, but you sometimes come across as desperate and sometimes even friends try to avoid you.

That's harsh. :laugh:

Java!?! :rolleyes: Because I drink it, doesn't mean I have ever written a line of it. Frankly, the list of possible answers were lacking.

I'm Perl, maybe that's why nobody understands me.

Perl, if there's a language that I detest it's Perl! X| The description seems more fitting:

Me, too! I can honestly say that I've never written an app in VB. Perhaps that's what I've been doing wrong all these decades!

Visual Basic, which is actually my preferred language for it's syntactic clarity.

We're both pearls.

Half the questions have no answer for me. So there is no way to tell what I really am. My random selections got me to Visual Basic though.

I ended up with python (the language I ended up doing the most in before I retired). My result (after a few "WTE - I don't know these people - no answer I understand") was

You are educated and enjoy research, especially in science. You also love a good book when you have time to read. You pay attention to the details and you don't accept mistakes.

which is scarily close to the truth.

Java - "You know the solution to everyone's problem but your own". Maybe there is some truth to that. Noone reports C#. My guess is that C# doesn't appear in the list of answers; Java is the closest you will get. I sure would like to see the logic used to determine the result. It would probably reveal a lot about the personal preferences of the developer of the "test". It is of course meant as a joke, but revealing the developers prejudices would give it some "serious" value, telling how other people make their judgements. As others have remarked: For half of the questions, my real reply is like "None of the above".

Ditto. They seriously picked the language I detest most :D Also, what PC brand I use? I think most of us don't have a brand on their machine and opt for more power.
