I feel like every language has a certain domain in which it excels, and every language has it's detractors.
If there was one language to rule them all, then that's what we'd all be using.
- tikhonj 14y ago> If there was one language to rule them all, then that's what we'd all be using. That's very charitable to programmers. I don't think it's fair to assume that most--or even many--people choose their language on entirely rational grounds or the quality of each language. If you just followed popularity, you'd probably end up using Java, and nobody wants to go there.
- i386 14y agoThat's pretty uncharitable to say about Java. If it was a bad language it wouldn't be so widely adopted. And you can make excellent software with it - it just depends who's writing the code.
