I look at it like someone who wants to learn French. Maybe they live in a French-speaking country and have French-speaking friends. When it comes to learning French, they decide they just can't stand the way it is spelled, and immediately give up. Wouldn't that be ridiculous?
- vidarh 10y agoFrench is a bad example, because the syntax is familiar to English users. How about you consider Mandarin instead.
- inimino 10y agoHaving learned Mandarin, I can tell you that giving up because of the way it is written would be a perfectly sensible thing to do. However, we are comparing apples and oranges. Learning any language takes years, Mandarin a few more. The syntax of a programming language takes a few days at worst. When someone invents a programming language where each of 30,000 library methods is a unique character that must be memorized separately, I'll be prepared to grant your point.
