I have no claim to be an experienced developer or so, just asking for opinions: doesn't this huge number of complex features implemented in modern programming language give you a feeling of something being wrong? And why?
- X4 13y agoNo it doesn't. It gives you freedom to do things naturally, but you will only understand how to solve a problem naturally, when you've understood "programming in general" or "Computer Science", without specifics to a programming language. To take fear away, you can easily create very very complex stuff with a single language feature. Think about QBASIC, one would think that you cannot do anything except some command-line programs with it.

- nnq 13y agoYou can make the same argument about "something being wrong" with a language like Scala. Some people like "slim" languages like C, Go, Clojure, Python, others like "fat" ones like C++, D, Rust, Scala, CL. It's just a matter of taste. I tend to like the "slim" ones more but maybe a "fat" language is better suited to wrangle the browser-based-dev can of worms.
