@sir Kotlin might solve a lot of your problems with Java, since it pretty effectively gets rid of the blot while still interoperating well

@sir interesting that you've moved rust out of the "languages i'd not use for anything category"is it because of the systems programming?i agree that the package ecosystem is trash and lots of people use rust poorlystill i find the strongly typed stuff useful for really low level tasks

@pounce the other stuff is for software I would refuse to even contribute to. I wouldn't start projects in Rust but if I had a need I might send a patch

@sir interesting how people perceive cs languages, from my time when i programmed for a living i saw C as good for drivers but misused for so many things like python now as it along with java is what is taught by 90% of academic CS courses. So people forced it's use into so many things there were better choices as that was what they knew.

@sir If you're going to lump together Haskell and Erlang, you may as well just lump together C and C++.
