If you were to choose a "lingua franca" for software developers, what should it be?
Yes, each programming language has its own strengths and weaknesses, but I do look forward to the days when I don't need to learn 5 different sets of string manipulation APIs or math functions.
Why hasn't this happened?
- WarChortle18 7y agoIt will never happen. Natural language is something that evolved over time, 99% of people on the planet don't have an opinion on the language they speak, they just speak it. Programmers are very opinionated and sometimes for good reason. If I am a Web Dev I don't want to use C++ for my back end, that would be a nightmare. Just like if I am working on a major Triple-A game, I wouldn't want to write it in python.
