  You must be a hit at parties. I know this, because you sure as hell aren't spending that time doing something useful and worthwhile. EDIT: [REDACTED] EDIT2: In hindsight, probably not nice to make fun of somebody's product. I know I wouldn't appreciate it.

    Rails programmers insulting .net guys is sort of like two step children fighting. Except you're the red headed one.

      Rails is a small hobby--day job is paying the bills with Java. I mostly hack C and C++, graphics, games, containers, tests--take your pick, coffee and pistols for two at dawn. :)

      I think we can be best friends.

    i'm just tired of these front page stories about advising people to learn new languages because of stupid reasons such as "It’s much closer to English that, for instance, Ruby"
    • angersock 15y ago
      There were several other things the author mentioned--though I will admit I found that first part of the first reason somewhat silly. The thing is, you really ought to expose yourself and at least play around in other languages. No language (except, perhaps, APL, assembly, Forth, Lisp, or Prolog [not that there exists a standard variant of the last two]) is perfect. Every language does some things really well, other things really poorly, and muddles through the rest. Being familiar with other helps you know when your language of choice might need to call out to something better suited to your problem domain.

      Yes, on the other hand calling Smalltalk, one of the finest ever programming languages, "shit", is a little over the line...
