Every programming language sucks when you're bad at using it. This is the only and universal truth. Same for JS.

- vemv 10y agoThat's a pretty useless truth, who doesn't know that? Many languages (like Go or Clojure) require you to learn quite a few concepts and exercise your mind in general. This automatically filters out incompetent programmers, and puts the rest in the right mindset.
- anonjdgpogjsop 10y ago"who doesn't know that?" OP ?
- jmcomets 10y agoI don't really agree on Go, however it is true that some programming languages scare away beginners. I wouldn't say that it filters out incompetence completely though. I remember when I was writing Prolog for a school project and wasn't familiar with any of its concepts. I ended up writing terrible Prolog that looked a whole lot like the imperative stuff I was used to (wait, comma doesn't mean next instruction?!).
