now here's my take get ready
ruby is terrible shit and its packaging is awful and syntax more sugar than sense
phph is a mistake
perl is old shit
python is less shit but still kind of shit
ah yes fuck c c=+ and javascript and oh boi fuck java
accept rust love rust
Out of curiosity, what about C#?
Though having accepted and loved Rust, I feel like there's a gap in the dynamic language space needing to be filled. Julia? Racket? I feel like a Lisp should be filling that gap but I just can't take Clojure seriously...
@Nentuaby @CobaltVelvet perhaps! There's something of a gradient between them, though I say that as a C# partisan so take it with a grain of salt. ;-)
@icefox i don't see much benefit on the dynamic side at all these days, but i tend to prefer js because of how cool v8 is and python because it looks good. i find the only use of C# is to give microsoft their custom language because they thought it would help sell their products. like, everything that has been done with C# could be done equally good with rust and C# doesn't have much reason to exist; the only gap was made intentionally for C# to fill something
@icefox @CobaltVelvet With Java already excoriated, I feel like C# needn't even be mentioned.
