You might not agree with me, but then again if you don't, maybe you're just working with regex too much.

And for you savages that don't know your temperaments and think knowing about medical terminology that's been obsolete for over 2000 years is useless,

I made a cheat sheet for you.

Have a nice day, and make sure you don't run out of leeches or you just might end up doing css.

Thank you for creating alchemical programming content!

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 2 points 4 days ago

You're welcome! Was my pleasure. Sorry for the mistake tho D:

I appreciate the cheat sheet. I think the names of the character natures are misplaced.

  • Phlegm: phlegmatic
  • Yellow bile: choleric
  • Black bile: melancholic

Yeah, I screwed up cause 3 AM. Invested a lot of time on it too.

sees the lang above C++

half life 3 real?

This feels like surreal memes before they turned into almost entirely misspellings and other repeat jokes.

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 3 points 4 days ago

Well yeah, they were made by crazy people too.

You need to balance them and eat chillis to get good at JS

What? C++ is definitely black bile and Cobol is definetly yellow bild.

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yellow is melancholy, which is defined as "a feeling of pensive sadness, typically with no obvious cause". This sounds like C++ to me. And I hear cobol is one of the most infuriating programming languages based on sentiment analysis data of stack overflow, so black bile, which is choleric/angry.

[–] 404@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's the other way around ... yellow is choleric and black is melancholic

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

f... I can't believe I screwed this up.

edit: the more I think about it, the more choleric it makes me.

[–] Wappen@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Rust community might be phlegm but the language itself should be yellow bile, while c++ should be phlegm.

IMO

Damn i just learned i am distinctly "weak emotions" this is my new oc name do not steal it. Also where the hell is the best of all programming language families, the lisp family?

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Won't steal the name, don't worry.

Lisp is right on Yellow Bile.

[–] WILSOOON@programming.dev 2 points 5 days ago

Oh, even with glasses im blind lol, ty for representing everyone, that yellow bile thing is really damn accurate i just realised, thats litterally all the languages i like there

puting js an css in the same catagory is vile i mean we dont need both but atleast css cant really do anything

[–] ferric_carcinization@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago

CSS can actually do a lot. Many effects that are often done trough JS can also be done with CSS.

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 1 points 5 days ago

I mean people who like those just seem like happier ppl to me.

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

How did Python end us as Phlegm? It's one of the chillest languages to write, definitely blood

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 2 points 4 days ago

I screwed up and confused yellow with black as @404@lemmy.zip pointed out... Sorry. D:

[–] sunglocto@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago

R is definitely black bile
