Comment Why I Hate All Programming Languages (Score 1) 299
"I hate computer languages because they force me to learn a bunch of shit that are completely irrelevant to what I want to use them for. When I design an application, I just want to build it. I don't want to have to use a complex language to describe my intentions to a compiler. Here is what I want to do: I want to look into my bag of components, pick out the ones that I need and snap them together, and that's it! That's all I want to do." Quoted from Why I Hate All Programming Languages.
Functional languages are worse because they are painfully counterintuitive. I don't want to write a function if all I want to do is link a sensor directly to an effector. Drawing a line from A to B is an order of magnitude simpler. Which is the way it should be.
