Strange to see VBA and Objective-C so low on the list. Worked with both - nothing scary there. The Fantastic Seven - C#, Python, TypeScript, C++, Go, SQL, F#

Worked with both - nothing scary there.
The Fantastic Seven - C#, Python, TypeScript, C++, Go, SQL, F# - covers 99.99% of your programming language needs. :)
- frakt0x90 4y agoAt least with VBA people are probably scarred by having to modify auto-generated macros, the atrocious error system, GOTOs, and the terrible excel IDE.
- BuckRogers 4y agoI'll defend GOTOs! Everything is a GOTO, just in a different code construct. I find myself thinking in "GOTOs" all the time, and use bools in nearly the exact same way. That said, I started programming in the 80s in BASIC and crack a loving smirk when I see a GOTO.
- marcodiego 4y agoMore modern features like "defer" should be enough to remove the last remaining needs for GOTO; even "try/catch/finally" may be enough for that.
