- ernst_klim 7y ago>If it was a bad thing, UNIX wouldn't be so widespread. Strange argument. Javascript is widespread, COBOL was widespread, Windows is widespread, X86 is widespread. Widespread doesn't mean good. UNIX was a disaster, and the whole family of UNIX-like OS spent decades just for mitigate its errors and faults.
- pjmlp 7y agoI guess we have someone here that enjoys using PHP, JavaScript and Perl.
- sureaboutthis 7y agoAs a UNIX professional programmer, no. Other than Perl, which I don't use, why would you think that?
- pjmlp 7y agoSame set of language design qualities and being widespead due to historical accident.
