Double-incidentally, I’m sure some of you are thinking: “OK, ummm, ah, what should I use? You seem to hate everything.” Yep! Sunny G. put it best, actually. He said I reminded him of Dostoyevsky. He says I’m a “tortured soul”, which evidently makes me a good blogger, on account of my liver going to crap, or something along those lines. We were having beers at the time, so his exact wording is a bit fuzzy now. But he’s right. I do hate everything — at least all programming languages.
Or perhaps I should say “dislike?” No, I think “hate” will do nicely. All languages suck. At this junction in human history, the best thing you can do as a programmer (other than perhaps write your own language) is not to get too attached to any particular one, and choose them as appropriate for the task at hand, since each language has its niche.
