IF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES WERE DRUGS:

JavaScript = Methamphetamine:
Anyone can cook some up at home but only pros can make the good stuff without blowing everything up.
Under the influence it tries to do everything at once, in seemingly no specific order before running off and making plenty of promises - but you have no clue if it kept any until it returns.

C = Heroin:
It takes some prep before you can take a hit but when you do it's far more potent than expected. When prepped (compiled) correctly it will induce complete and utter ecstasy but any error or abuse may kill you, leave you on the floor, in a coma or wishing you were dead.

HTML = Paracetamol(Panado):
Some don't think it's a real drug and others do. Either way you should grow a pair and try something a little more hardcore.

--------------------------------------

I came up with these after I randomly explained asynchronous js to a junior as synchronous code on meth. These were just off the top of my head, please feel free to correct or expand on them :-)

    Php => weed. Many dislike it, some even deny it as a real programming language.
    The hipsters tends to love it and it is often the driver behind man successful business men.
    On its own its neither beautiful, good nor bad.
    Many scientists extract compounds from it, for their company's own in-house blend.
    But rarely anybody admits it.

    @ScribeOfGoD I know, I was just kidding. I use amphetamines occasionally to meet unrealistic deadlines or to stay up an extra 12 hours when a server freaks out on a friday afternoon

    Vbscript = tobacco:
    It's smelly and leaves a bad taste in the mouth...

    @kurtr don't forget, anybody with a good sense of smell, that's not exposed to it, can smell it on a decent distance x)

    Currently working with Rust.

    I'd say Ayahuasca, as it feels like you mind is staring in the face of a Godly type system as divine as Haskell's while being as intimately intertwined with the spirit of your hardware as in C...

    ...While at the same time you vaguely realize that your earthly body is only capable of excreting puke and projectile shit. You then slowly feel your ego dying, and you hug your keyboard while crying and wishing you could dissolve into bits, singing songs of executable code within your CPU forever.

    Looks like there are a lot of experts in the drug field working undercover as a developer 😂😂

    C# is LSD, everything just fits together so beautifully... One of the few things that can convince you that a higher power might exist...

    Haskell = morphine

    It’s really hard to come by without having a phd, you like to offer it to your customers but that’s because its cool to work with it and not because it’s in their best interest. When building it’s never pure enough and you start over. Everyone thinks your an elitist and so you wish to be a regular crackhead.

    PHP = glue

    You started when you were slightly interested in drugs but didn’t had the knowledge or time to do it right. After a few tries it makes you pretty braindead and you lose the will to live. In the evenings you’re defending to fellow drugs abusers that glue is actually a good drug and in fact it’s the best drug ever to be purposed for drugs. While in truth glue is created to copy and paste things for children in kindergarten.
