well. OK, figments of the imagination can have any gender, just that the imagined gender shows bias. Why is the flying spaghetti monster a "he" should it be "it" ? |
IMHO, Java or nothing...

I wanted to vote for Javascript, and could not…
Javascript has seen a boost in performance with real-time engines this year, and a boost in usage with many more “web*2” sites (Ajax included). Yves. |
Hi, theYinYeti -
I hate Javascript with a passion. It makes VB6 or ASP.Net look like paragons of elegance. It's a hack that was created over beer and pizza late one Friday night over at Netscape, and it looks it. IMHO, Javascript is just about everything a language *shouldn't* be. Yet... It's totally unavoidable, and totally indispensible. It's a cornerstone of some of the most interesting/innovative software being written today. I agree: Javascript should be one the list. And could well be a contender for the #1 spot! |
Javascript isn't as bad as people think it is. Unfortunately, far too few programmers actually learnt to use it the proper way, by forgetting the '90's JS, and learning structured unobtrusive JS instead.
See here for a quick overview (I know, links are broken, I'll have to do some house-keeping…): http://yves.gablin.club.fr/gablin.ph...=pc_javascript Yves. |

My very first language was BASIC, but that's a long time ago... back in the 8-bit era
Now C is my favorite :) |
I vote for shell script. It is the real language of the year every year.
Sure AWK and C/C++ are good contenders. Java is only for gadgets. |
C and Java

C's the shitznit. 'nuff said |
