    Why do programmers always shit on any language? Holy fuck what language is actually good?

      There are two categories of language

      Ones that people complain about

      And ones that aren't used

      A lot of times I feel like it’s related to the fact that we are forced to use a specific language by our bosses, who of course in this authoritarian system don’t actually care about what we want. So complaining about the specific language is often related to complaining about being forced into a system. Sometimes, it’s a petty coworker thing though.

        Well the coworker thing isn’t just petty but is by design when there are like 10% forced firing rates based on “performance” per team (lowest get axed) and so like someone else’s choice to use a language you’re worse at because you like worse has real implications.
