But I want to mock it good-naturedly, too.

The point of code is to be read by other humans, not just computers.

The joke was that Perl is a clusterfuck

Because of all the garbage

You know, the stuff in @_

That’s not quite the argument you might think it is

Please. That’s C’s ternary operator. JS is just a pile of garbage cosplaying as a programming language

Or protest in schools

So it’s just JS with an even more immature spec

In a professional environment, I’ve never had remote-only build systems, with the exception of release signing of locked-down compiler licensing. Otherwise, there’s always been a local option.

Edit: is my personal experience wrong somehow?

Jesus Christ, can you not even conceive of the idea of building on your own machine?

Like I said, braindead

Reliance on external services to build and test code is absolutely braindead design

What other lessons did you refuse to learn in school?

Vibe Casting

Academic code is absolutely horrific.

Fortunately, it is possible to translate it for practical applications.

Or any documentation. Or bug reports.

Prolog is even better suited for such applications.

That map shows the US and Türkiye as red.

I shouldn’t try to read maps when I’m sick

I highly recommend learning the language. You learn to think about problems from an entirely different perspective, effectively working backwards from the solution, and once you wrap your head around it, it becomes the clear choice for certain applications such as expert systems.
