This is just clickbait to drive traffic to this site. OP is definitely affliated to career karma . com Their history consists of 5 posts 4 of which are from this same site.

Hi. Yes, I am affiliated with Career Karma.

As far as I can see in the posting guidelines, I am not prohibited from posting links to content that I am affiliated with.

Clickbait? Maybe—if by clickbait you mean something I think people might like to click if they are interested in the topic.

I admit, I am new to Hacker News, and if I have violated any guidelines, it was not my intent.

I was proud of the work our team did on this post, so I decided to share it—much like the other links I’ve posted in the past.

Again, I honestly want to know if I have violated any rules, and if so, I will absolutely refrain from doing so in the future.

I’m sorry this one link was so offensive to some.

How did you create the list? It looks more like a list of popular languages than easy to learn languages

Definitely the easiest to learn is Brainfuck - and some of the languages pretty high on this list take a lifetime to actually learn.

Someone clearly doesn't have much idea on what they're writing about.

This ended up high up on the front page of Hacker News. I am interested to know why. For those upvoting it, what did you find valuable in it?

All stories start out on the front page: most don’t stay there. This is relatively new (less than an hour old) during a period of relatively low activity. The fact that it may still be on the front page says more about current activity on HN than anything particular about this submission.

Thank you, that's clarifying.

Do they? I think most stories don't make it past new unless they get a handful of upvotes.

C++ over Elixir cracks me up. I feel like no matter how hard you try, no one really “””knows””” C++ (given library vastness and all that).

C++ over Go, Scala over Clojure? C and C++ are of the same complexity?

Probably the only person who really knows C++ is Scott Meyers

C and C++ have the same learning curve. Is this really true?

I don't think so.

Let's put it this way:

K&R is 272 pages and covers essentially all of C.

Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Language is 1376 pages, and doesn't even begin to cover all the complexities and nuances of modern C++.

CSS? Are you kidding?
