Hell you can't do any of those things in the first 15 languages I learned. In fact none of the concepts even existed in those languages---so? Bother? Irratated?

Hell you can't do any of those things in the first 15 languages I learned. In fact none of the concepts even existed in those languages---so? Bother? Irratated? Annoyed? I can understand all of those; but hate? I'm hoping that is hyperbole brought on by momentary programmers frustration. Otherwise it is a waste of time. Go changes fast enough that perhaps by this time next week some of these things might have gone away. Some on the other hand might still be there, but what might change is your understanding of the reasons why they exist and what you should do to code around them (or through or whatever...)
