Pretty sure text editors allow a lot of power, in the upper half in any case

What, no LaTeX?!

adarza ,

that is the white portion of the diagram.

I’m environmentally damaged enough to honestly think that perl should be further left. It’s pretty easy, but I’m the first to admit that perl code looks like ass.

Grep is as high power as vim and emacs??? In what universe?

verdigris ,

When combined with sed, sure, but the difficulty ratings should be swapped.

lunarul ,

And vim/emacs are rated just as difficult as a programming language

“Hand-written assembly” is not more powerful than any other Turing-complete language (including Perl and Python), just more painfully slow and prone to human error to write. (Perhaps if you have a special case requiring speed (such as the processing being done in a tight loop in a financial trading app and the results needing to beat rival trading systems by milliseconds or something equally esoteric), it’d make sense, but in that case, a modern compiler (for, say, C/C++/Rust or similar) would yield comparable results, and if a lot is riding on those milliseconds, you’d eschew code and build a FPGA that pulls the data out of memory buffers in hardware or similar.)

So these days, the only use case for hand-writing assembly language (other than low-level OS/firmware programming or compiler development) is performative Feats Of Strength, where the challenge is the point. And in that case, you’d be trying to do something heroically challenging, like writing an Atari 2600 demake of Baldur’s Gate or something.

Hand written assembly is much more powerful than a turing-complete high level language because it lets you fuck up everything. Rust and python are way too wimpy to allow a user to destroy their computer.

My pandoc scripts are fairly easy to use, I think…

WYSIWYG editors rock. Long live TeXmacs!

AI chatbots should be near I Ching divination.

I like that this clearly articulates that text editors are just whatever the hell vim & emacs are, with training wheels

visor841 ,

Programming languages is way too broad a category. There’s a lot of variation in both power and difficulty.

I Ching divination

That’s why I use icsh, the I Ching Shell.
