143 dislikes for COBOL? Call me cynical but I'll bet most of those votes came from people who have never been near a green screen.
- sequoia 13y agoAre you suggesting people are voting on things from completely uninformed positions??? ...would people really do that? ;) It's at something like 340 dislike votes now- I believe your point is more prescient now than ever. :)
- seabrookmx 13y agoHonestly, I'm pretty sure its the same with C++. C++ faults are blown out of proportion by sensationalists, most of whom have never touched C++ code in their lives. Out of C++, Java, Javascript, and PHP, easily four of the most used languages in the poll, only a single one has positive votes. And it has just as many faults as the other three.
