@Developer Memes I feel somewhat offended by the placement of Python. Really, PHP or SQL as a higher level language? 😅 The author must have some kind of special hate for python.
@jaywink
Either he hates a lot of languages or I don't see any system behind that at all. How did pascal get lower than C, what is perl doing down there? Or whatever that camel stands for. Why is go on the same level as typescript? Erlang is a high-level language with advanced threading/concurrency, how did it get there?

@m0xee @jaywink @DeveloperMemes This is from a youtube video where the creator pf the iceberg was discussing the languages he thinks would be the first for beginners to learn, with the top being the best and subsequently getting more difficult as you go down iirc
@PhrogLover
Ooh! I still have a few questions like why Pascal is harder than C, while Go is easier, but is makes much more sense now 😅

Actually going back to the video I think I might have made a tiny mistake
The criteria he uses is a combination of ease of use combined with what would be the most motivating to learn in terms of what you can build as well as popularity amongst new beginners, job opportunities etc.
