Bollocks. A programming language is a thing that is created/engineered. As such it can be evaluated as well fitting for its purpose (aka being a good programming language) or being bad fitting for its purpose (aka a bad programming language).
This reply makes no judgment on the validity of the arguments present in the article, only about the existence of bad/good programming languages.
- willcipriano 5y agoTo me programming is more of an art than a science. To find a corollary what are some bad artistic mediums? What is a bad human language to write poetry in, or a novel?
- Dudeman112 5y ago>programming is more of an art than a science Yes, that is a problem and one of the reasons why so much of the tooling is crap and so many projects fail. If we are still here half a millennium from now, hopefully professional programming will start looking more like actual engineering.
