What is better language Deutsch or Javascript?

What I like about a language is if it has an efficient syntax. JS is a bit verbose with its names, like GetElementsByClassName, which clutters up the line quite a bit. Also there's all these {}; like in the C-ish languages... Deutsch is quite similar with its tendency to line up long names: Donaudampfschifffahrtskapitänsmützenabzeichen and several other valid variable names, and also there's a lot of valid separators like .:;,?!'()"... Sometimes in JS I see lines that I find hart to understand, with a lot of parentheses that go something like function(function(function...))) Deutsch makes it all too easy to write similarly incomprehensible code: 'Die von dem vor dem Rathaus befindlichen Platz abgehenden Wege...' So at first glance, there seem to be quite a few similarities! You have to keep in mind that Deutsch is a very old language, older than JS, C, even Fortran... JS is still developing and might shake off some of its similarities to Deutsch in the future.

Definitely Javascript. Thousands of linguists over centuries still haven't figured out how Deutsch works, and they are speaking it! Meanwhile Javascript was coded up by one guy in a couple of weeks. The problem with Deutsch is that you can't quickly publish revisions to the language. Deutsch interpreters are manifold and refuse to follow new language standards. You usually have to wait until a new generation of Deutsch interpreters is released, and that can take anywhere from 15-40 years.

Schindlabua, 1996 there was an attempt to reduce the messiness of Deutsch by implementing a huge update; I guess it was supposed to be a major step like from Python 2 to Python 3. Unfortunately the support of the coding community was low and is still very low today which led to multiple interpreters/compilers being used. Every major company uses their own ruleset today, and it's all a huge mess. There had been similar attempts with the superverbose high language Japanese many decades ago, and the Deutsch coders could have learned from the experience; yet they - as probably many coder sub communities - ended up making the same mistake.

I'm ßtill not ßure if I underßtood the new Deutßch ẞtandard correctly. Back when I went to the DeutschInterpreterFactory they ßeemed a bit confußed aßwell. Thankfully they were required by law to teach the Rechtßchreibreform-reform. Maybe a ßimilar law should be paßßed that forceß legacy python 2 codebaßeß to be migrated to python 3 (or javaßcript, for that matter).

I think you forgot to adjust your encoding back to SL before compiling your last post! Were you playing around with a few lines of Deutsch in between?

Javascript is the best programming language for any Software developer in mobile, pc , iPhone, iPad phones, smartphones, iPhone x, tablets & Laptops -> software applications and concepts of all computer engineering. JS is backbone of all script-writing programming languages with record breaking History. Along with C#, Java & C++, CPYTHON, Python. 😑 🤗🍁🎉🎊🎉😏🌿🌸😫🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I wonder which language did you use in the question.🤔 Only thing I know that this isn't English (the most popular but one of the worst) +------------------------------------------+ Wait where modulus(es) are gone, they seem to be enjoying the day, I see one appeared here but he didn't have enough power.🤔

Santanu Sikder, you are not alone! Mostly it is safer to encapsulate Deutsch and access it with a high language, so few coders actually directly write it. Hear Mark Twains statement: 'I can understand German as well as the maniac that invented it, but I talk it best through an interpreter.'
