Just firing up a new war which will be just as important in a few decades (if not today already) like Vim&Emacs.
So: Do you use 'string' or "string" in languages like JS, Python, ...?

I learned it with " 20 years ago, and so i still use". For me the ' is only if a string is in a string.
Like
script="console.log('bla')";
With "im usually save among most languages, since ' is char in some

If I'm not working on a DB:

" surrounds a string.
' surrounds a character.

Anything else is just asking for problems either when you have to port code, or when you get a new dev on your team who's used to working in a different language.

In javascript you must use single quotes inside html attributes so may as well be consistent and use them everywhere.

I learned C before I learned Python. So, because I can, I use " strings and ' for single characters, just like C does.

I almost always use " for strings, because in my experience it's more common to want to use an apostrophe inside a string than it is to need a double-quote.

But if I'm quoting some XML or something darn right I'll use ' instead of replacing all those "'s with \"'s. ;)

' are my choice. Cleaner looking.

Is that Ted Cruz?

@SecondThread Lol, you're right. Just checked the sources for my two pictures (just random grabbed from Google Images). The first is indeed Ted Cruz.
You're good!
