I never understood the 'fun' part when people refer to programming languages since its so subjective. Apart from that I agree with your comment, in that the field of software engineering is so young and as a result one has to deal with a lot of noise, because everybody is trying to contribute which is a good thing, but it also creates chaos.
- j0ev 13y agoWhen I call a language fun, I generally mean: 1. It delights me by doing what I want. 2. It makes normally complex programming tasks easy (try metaprogramming in php). 3. It is simpler than I originally imagined. 1 & 2 generally means... it's a "hackable" language (ruby is another good example). 3 is icing.
