i think the programming language that i hate is Java.

I used to hate PHP when I didn't wanted to work with PHP but I had to. I used to hate JavaScript when I didn't wanted to work with JS but I had to. Apart from thinking that some language wasn't nicely designed, I don't really hate anything I guess, despite not wanting to touch it. I try not to shit on languages, such as PHP, because there are a lot of families that have food on their tables because of it. Same for any other language. Apart from a language not being as good as it could be, the problem lies on programmers. JavaScript code can have a lot of memory leak and performance problems, and so can have a C code from an unexperienced C programmer. Part of the problem is from the education "system", maketing that programming is easy, and that anyone can get rich and work with a laptop on the beach. Those courses teaches you the bare minumum, and due to the high demand, those people lacking understanding and knowledge will get hired anyways, and bad code will happen. As for Java, I personally don't like the verbosity, and I used to "hate" it as well. But nowadays even though I still don't use Java on my projects, I think that someone that know Java well, is a very good programmer. A strongly typed language and a very strict syntax like Java demands a lot of discipline, and that's something that can tell a lot about you as a professional. The Java ecosystem is also very good and consistent, high a very high quality. There is a reason that the industry will rely on Java for their business. You don't want to have your Bank infrastructure written on JavaScript. Java nowadays is just some syntax, you can take advantage of the JVM and the Java ecosystem by using other JVM languages, like Clojure and Scala. So learning and working with Java can be good not only because of the discipline and good practices (design patterns) you'll have to learn but also the Java ecosystem that will be useful even if you're working with some other languages like Scala, Clojure and Kotlin.

I'd say that I hate JS the most. It's a total mess and trying to do it in a nice way usually ends in a lot of WTFs and/or a massive toolchain, that is sometimes harder to maintain than the code itself. Maybe it's just me, but I only work with it if I absolutely have to. I have to deal a lot with PHP, which I don't like that much either. The language is inconsistent and I personally don't like to rewrite half of my codebase every time a major update takes place. PHP became sort of comfortable with Laravel again, but just because Laravel is so well done. As a word for closing: Nowadays I mostly like working with compiled langages, that produce a real binary. Like Go, Rust or sometimes C++, mostly because of the advantages of a compiler.

>>1 Speaking as someone who started programming with Java, the bloated syntax makes me never want to come back. That said, scala and clojure interest me so I might come back to to the JVM.

>8 anonymous @ 2022/05/31 23:09
>>7 Rust is great! But in my experience (network penetration tester) I've had the "bad" experience of rust code being so "fast" that it often tips internal production servers. So for me, an application written in C or (lol) Lua (nmap) is "better" than one that's written in Rust (rustscan). For my work, I don't need fast, I need quiet and accurate, so for me its not that I don't like Rust - its that I don't really need it. Rust the game on the other hand is rad.

Golang, hands down. The language's owners take the stance of "Golang can't have, because we want to keep Golang simple." Sorry, but when I have to rely on layers of code generation just because you don't feel like implementing generics, that's not simple *for me as a developer*. Maybe that's the laziest, easiest path for *you* as the arbiter of what goes into the language, but don't lie to me and tell me you're making my life easier by making me do more busy work or layer more custom tooling on top of your language's deficiencies. Their concurrency model that everyone lauds is a footgun. Please, go ahead and tell me about how channels are so easy and straightforward. I've got two words for you "wait groups". Even this selling point isn't actually simple to _use_, it's just simplistic for the Golang team to _build_, and actual developers who _use_ Golang have to deal with constant headaches of diagnosing weird corner cases where the channel's buffer was exceeded, or somehow the channel hung, or or or or.... and none of it with any sort of decent error messages to help you track down the problem, and with obtuse syntax that doesn't match any other language I've used, so it's just unnecessarily unfamiliar. Oh, or what about using third-party libraries? Is your GOPATH all figured out? Or are you using one of the various iterations of "Go modules" that are each more confusing than the last? Who needs exceptions or result types, when anywhere from 40% to 70% of your codebase can be this exact repeated block: value, err := someFunction(arg1, arg2) if err != nil { return err } // repeat this block of code for almost every function call in your entire application I'll take PHP any day over that noise, because at least the team that runs PHP, childish as they often are in their squabbles, are willing to recognize that their language has flaws and try to fix them, rather than doubling down on the flaws and telling me "you're holding it wrong."

>>OP I don't like Perl, which is quite strange, because my "serious" language was PHP, nowadays I only work on JavaScript, more precisely with React/NodejS But to this day I'm going back to PHP like anything. And my fiancée is currently teaching me python.
>13 tash @ 2022/09/22 12:40
>>11 I agree wholeheartedly with this. Golang is a terrible langauge for good developers. The language has been so "simplified" that it lacks basic functionality that any otehr programming language would be expected to have. Now luckily I rarely if ever have to use Golang anymore, but it **sucked** when I had too. My guess as to why it's designed this way is because Google wanted a stupid simple programming language that they could teach code monkeys in a week and therefore easily replace people with little effort.
>14 x88 @ 2022/10/07 23:34
>>13 Golang is annoying to work with, I can agree on that.
>15 whodini @ 2022/10/10 16:20
Not sure if it qualifies as a "real" programming language, but Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is pretty terrible.
>16 stern @ 2023/01/24 16:59
>>15 yeah, I consider that a programming language, and it's probably not the best at all these days.

To all the JavaScript haters, how do you feel about TypeScript? I do Angular for work, and TypeScript is really quite nice. For me, it really takes away that feeling of cobbled-together-ness that I always get when working on standard JS. I don't know what it is about JS that made me want it to be statically typed, because I think I get along fine without that in Python.

Javascript. Semi-related, but has anyone worked with the JS competitor that Python has been working on? I remember it sounding really interesting when I was reading about it but I haven't really had a use case to try it out yet.

Right now for me its Rust. It's just not a comfortable language to work in.
>28 vagabond @ 2024/02/12 18:18
I don't have a dog in this race, but I would bet that I would not like C++ due to the shear amount of complexity it has. Good news, is that it's going to be part of my course work when school starts.

>>32 It's actually from the old Unix/C/AWK guys. They tried to do something like the proper sucessor to C (based on plan9's C multicompiler setup to cross-compile everything) and lots of philosophy like channels and CSP borrowed from that OS. If you don't like Go, you might hate C++ a lot, because the syntax it's abhorrent and hypercomplex. I think C++ took Unix back a lot back in the day , and the rest of systems' programming too. Win32 API was a nightmare to start with. Java was the answer from Sun to C++. Another ultraverbose and huge language albeit far more simple that C++. I think the solution of Go might not perfect, but the trend today it's to rollback all the crap we created in the 90's and simplify it. Even Microsoft promotes C# which is like Java but a bit simpler on some terms and with a bit more performance. I wouldn't mind to have Emacs, GNU Coreutils and such rewritten in Go in ten or twenty years, when the performance woudn't matter a lot on powerful 64 bit systems (either Intel, Power9 or ARM). Back in the day Unix was written in ASM and later it was rewritten in C. It woudn't be a bad move. Maybe for Emacs and having two GC's, but I'm pretty sure they could add an option to disable it at build time.
