You know software development is mainstream when you hear an argument about programming languages at a bar.
“Dude, I program in C, it is way more pure than Java”
“Whatever, you probably have memory leaks everywhere”
“At least I know what memory management is, tool”
I am not joking, I heard something similar tonight. Obviously I embellished a tiny bit, but I would never have expected to hear an argument like that in a bar from a group that I am not a part of.
