Surely you can appreciate that the language you're using isn't always your choice.

- alex_suzuki 3y agoYes, I do understand that, having programmed in business environments with legacy code for over a decade. I've hated the poor decisions my predecessors had to make, the corners that were cut. I've hated that it's not maintained or documented. I've hated that it doesn't have tests. Never have I hated the language.

- DeathArrow 3y agoNot always, but the most languages I have used professionally were my choices. That means x86, assembly, C, C++, C#, Python and half of Javascript. For Javascript I mean half because I enjoyed doing simple things in JS on front-end long time ago, but these days I kind of dislike JS frameworks and I've learned them because I had to after I signed some contracts. I could have stayed 100% with backend work, but now is too late to complain. I managed to steer clear of Perl, Objective C, Cobol and other languages I don't enjoy. I managed to learn F# and some Ocaml which I would like to use but never got the chance (personal projects excluded).
