In all seriousness, dabble with RoR, it will gain traction once lots of these new start-ups mature. But for the foreseeable future PHP is the better bet for employment.[/QUOTE]
I'm not trying to push Rails, I'm just saying PHP is shit :v:
Anyway, you'd be surprised to see that lots of companies (even big ones) use Rails.

I wouldn't wanna fuel another language war so I'll just stop here.
The bottom line is really "use whatever you like using (as long as you can use those skills for a potential job that'd fit you) and try many things before you judge". There's never really a *right* tool for the job.
[QUOTE=Killervalon;40341023]I didn't say Python, Ruby or PHP were bad. I meant to use it as a joke towards the extra development time you would have to do.
[sp]I just figured it would be fun because I saw a Futurama episode where Kif programmed a Pony using a few million lines of assembly.[/sp][/QUOTE]
What episode?

There totally is, but you have to define the job more precisely than "I want make website". If you're making something that needs to be incredibly performant, ruby isn't the right choice. If you need to do stuf with web sockets node might be the way to go. Even things like the developers you had access to and the speed you need to work at can even change which tool is the right tool.

Yeah, that's what I meant, essentially. I probably didn't express myself very well.
So anyway, proggy is a nice font, right?

That's all well and good but I think people will just use what they are comfortable with and what they get things done with. There's little point to writing all this beautiful code if it is never going to be finished or edited in the future.
That being said at an enterprise/startup level what you are saying makes perfect sense but we shouldn't get caught up in there being a right language for a task for your average developer because it sure as shit isn't worth his time to learn too many different languages for all his ideas.
This thread really needs to move away from the whole language debate, it's so unproductive.

I have spent way too much time looking for the perfect programming font/size/line spacing haha. Try making sure these are set in your config:
[code]
"font_options":
[
"subpixel_antialias"
],
"font_size": 12.0
[/code]
Maybe try plain old "antialias" under font options as well if you are on windows.

I think people should pick one language and get really good with it, and then learn the basics of a bunch of other languages. Learning other languages will give you new ways to think about solving problems with the language you usually use. If you can learn to quickly pick up new languages and adapt to them you [B]will[/B] have the option of choosing to use a different language just because it is a better fit for a given project.

Monaco looks pretty good on Windows - it's what I use

Another interesting coding font is source code pro, designed by adobe, check it out: [url]https://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2012/09/source-code-pro.html[/url]
I use ubuntu mono on both nix and windows ( sync shared config )

Tomorrow Night color scheme: [url]https://github.com/theymaybecoders/sublime-tomorrow-theme[/url]
Flatland theme: [url]https://github.com/thinkpixellab/flatland[/url]
Note: I use size 13.5 font because I don't want to strain my eyes. I have a scroll wheel for a reason.
Ubuntu Mono and Tomorrow Night are awesome.

I'd also recommend anyone who does JavaScript to replace the in-built JavaScript syntax bundle with [URL]https://github.com/subtleGradient/javascript.tmbundle[/URL] as the syntax highlighting is SO much better.

We should really pay Sublime for the great text editor. Well, those of us who haven't already.

About time, I guess.
what's better, using CSS's font-style:bold or HTML's <b> and <strong>?
[QUOTE=Soleeedus;40351598]what's better, using CSS's font-style:bold or HTML's <b> and <strong>?[/QUOTE]
CSS all the way.
There are differences between the font-weight css property, <b>, and <strong> that should be understood. There isn't a "better." There is a proper usage case.
