I'm not good with names about logical fallacies but that sure is one. You asked for "actual projects" and YouTube is one of the biggest and most popular platforms out there. That you personally dislike it is irrelevant.
So what's your point, that interpreted languages don't count because they're interpreted? Why stop there? It's the actual C compiler that was used to compile the JRE that brings the value here, so your ETL tool doesn't count.
You're either a troll or a joke.
If you dont know the difference between software and script I am not sure I can explain it to you...
That distinction is not relevant at all in this discussion.
But hey, I think that's one I know: should count as a strawman.
How is it not relevant? This is my comment you are replying to
I'm sorry, apparently I missed that because of your dismissal of YouTube.
To make up for it I have another small scripting example for you: the Instagram backend runs on Python, too.
So, to my example of critical, important infrastructure of government and banking running on Java, your reply is, youtube and instagram.
That's lit mate, no cap, frfr. (Sorry I am not that familiar with your gen's slang)
No, I'm not going to follow your logical retreat any longer. You said
You were presented with not small but big time scripting and two of the largest and most popular modern web platforms of the world (BTW I neither use nor like those myself but that's, as mentioned, irrelevant) and still cannot admit you're wrong, so I don't think you would even if I dug out some examples in "serious" fields (apparently building trillion dollar companies on such platforms isn't serious enough).
Also never assume generations. According to social media demographics, odds are I'm older than you.
And my example of knowing critical systems for the web written in Python is somehow different from your argument?
What a joke
