fry meme face Can not tell if serious.
C++...most code in any language is a mess. The language being horrible is an opinion.
PHP can't comment.
Ruby...the community always struck me as a strength for it, honestly. As there are multiple implementations, which are you referring to, exactly?
Javascript hasn't changed since 1999 except for jQuery and HTML5? -Really-? Ecmascript 3 (actually, 2; 3 was standardized in December 1999) is the same as 5, and all the libraries and functionality and approaches and ideas are no different than a time when Geocities was a big thing?
Erlang is alien (fair, but...that's a reason to be dismissive?) and -not usable outside of (a) very narrow specialization-?! It's extremely usable -except- in a few specializations, which the language site even lists for you.
- qwerta 13y agoI am serious. Most people think that learning new languages gives some sort of spiritual enlightenment. But in reality most languages are minefield of legacy problems and hidden traps. The 'boost' or enlightenment usually comes from learning new stuff, not just programming language. Sure if you like some new clearly designed language (Clojure comes to mind) give it try. But do not expect miracles from 20 years old platform. I dont want to argue about languages. All languages have to keep backward compatibility and for outsider Java is strange as well. Lets just say that all of those points are my opinion.
