It's OK to have ergonomic opinions about languages! In scriptingland, I find Python abhorrent. Ruby fits my brain like a glove (the core language, not Rails). Doesn't indicate anything about the quality of the languages or their respective partisans.
- dopidopHN 4y agoLook at you guys using nice looking languages! Haha, Java got better, but oh god it’s still verbose.
