The more I read about those new-wave languages, the more I end up thinking that the simple languages like python and C are the clear winners.
I started to learn about rust, but honestly it feels like it has the same design and features of ADA, in term of code correctness. It's a great thing, but I still wonder if it's really useful for everyone. Usually ADA was used in aerospace.
And I still believe C++ has a good future, of course as long as you keep using the good parts.
- pjmlp 9y agoIf software companies got recalls and were sued for lack of quality like in other industries, by now everyone would care about how their code gets written.
- jokoon 9y agoSure, but that's a different debate. If that would be the case, you would have much less competent programmers who would be able to do their job properly. I believe the software industry is still too young and immature.
- pjmlp 9y agoOn the contrary, only those able to meet the bar would be on the field, and we wouldn't have self taughs calling themselves engineers.
- jokoon 9y agoThere is a big demand for programmers, so raising the bar doesn't make sense.
- pjmlp 9y agoIf companies payed programmers properly, gave training and benefits, there wouldn't be lack of programmers. Raising the bar makes sense in any engineering.
- jokoon 9y agoIt doesn't make sense if the country cannot afford to properly educate all those programmers. Don't shift the argumentation towards inequality.
- oblio 9y agoYou’re assuming that professions that have been around for hundreds of years like lawyers or physicians or engineers don’t have incompetent practitioners :)
