This seems like a decade out of date and a bit like it was written by a python/java fanboy

Right. This says Swift is a new programming language announced in 2014.

Plus several points for like half the output arrows leading to Python instead of trying to achieve some kind of false "both sides"ism on which language to pick starting out

Minus several points for the fairly bizarre list of out-of-date languages down below which are fairly poorly mapped onto characters

  • C is clearly Gandalf; older than time, wise and powerful, but for God’s sake know what you’re doing before you start fuckin with it
  • Java is Saruman; superficially similar, but has fallen to the dark side, still trusted in some circles but the wise have realized that nothing good is coming from it nowadays
  • C++ is Gondor. It can get shit done and you may be in a position where its power is all that’s between you and ruin, but beware, parts of it have become corrupted
  • Javascript is clearly Gollum. You may need to travel with it, it has a part to play and still some good inside, but you won’t like it and it won’t like you.
  • Python is Merry and Pippin. Yeah they’re friendly, they steal mushrooms and they like to sleep late, but in a crush they can absolutely come through.

And so on

This is way too compressed for me to read. Looks cool though.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

  • Direct Image Links Only Only direct links to .png, .jpg, and .jpeg image formats are permitted.

  • Educational Infographics Only Infographics must aim to educate and inform with structured content. Purely narrative or non-informative infographics may be removed.

  • Serious Guides Only Nonserious or comedy-based guides will be removed.

  • No Harmful Content Guides promoting dangerous or harmful activities/materials will be removed. This includes content intended to cause harm to others.

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!
