In this day and age, drumming off single-sentence dismissals of major languages does not lend one much credibility.
The diversity of programming languages is due in part to the fact that developers enjoy looking at old problems from new angles. Doing so lets us to make creative re-use of libraries and practices that were invented to solve disparate problems, and good things invariably result.
Node.js is a staggering example, but every language you mentioned has its strengths.
- oscargrouch 13y agoim completelly aware that this is very subjective matter, and by saying touching language options, a lot of people would get offended.. experimentation is good! it make us have more of the good ideas.. sure! go and create a command line application in node.. nobody will forbid you to do that, its not a sin.. i would do it.. but theres a difference between whats fun and what works.. one thing i take my hat of for all dinamic languages like ruby, javascript and even python, is that they want to make the experience of creating software fun, and more pleaseant.. this is cool but the answer its in the balance, thats something i respect about go and dart.. the idea to mix fun and pragmatism so we can have both.. maybe better things can come in the future.. and we should all thank dinamic language for that.. javascript did not achieve the nirvana yet.. its like a duck.. it can walk? sure. it can fly? sure. it can swim? yes.. but can do it good any of those things? nop
