Dart will disappoint you, and C++ will continue to run the world. Language I dislike: Rust Language I begrudgingly respect: OCaml Language I think is overrated: Anything that had come into direct contact with ECMAScript. Language I think is underrated: Zig. Agree. Language I like: Object PASCAL Language I love: C# Language I dream of writing in: I don’t anymore. All my dreams died when ECMAScript took over. I’ll add one: Language I have to use the most: C++ #programming #coding

Solid choice. Did that on DOS for a few years at the beginning of my career. I’ve just gotten spoiled to things like std::vector too much. Hard to overestimate how big a difference in your style having containers that track their own length makes. I feel naked in C now, but it’s still solid and easy to follow.

🤣 Making lists like this aren’t as fun as they used to be, now that I’m either learning or using things I hate on a regular basis.

Functional language that works with .net. It is pretty cool.

clang is the best I’ve got. 😭

Heard a lot about it. Still an OOP guy though.

Functional languages are quite cool but each has its uses. I like it for stream processing as you can just chain functions. Then on the other hand you can do similar stuff with reactive extensions.

Setting up data chains is indeed one of the most elegant things about functional programming. Kinda like how LINQ is set up eh? Perhaps the sweet spot for me is a mix of both techniques depending on the job.

I dislike Rust too, and any functional language. I think Rust borrows its data structure from functional langs.

I am reminded of a thing I did at a .net job many years ago… linq is just haskell’s do donation in C# minus higher kinded types. Pretty neat.

Curious why you dislike Rust. I’m learning it atm and like it so far though I still prefer C.

logseq

A privacy-first, open-source platform for knowledge management and collaboration.

is written in clojure and is pretty cool. But it remains one of the rare things I've seen this in action

That’s interesting. I didn’t know that about LogSeq

I haven’t seen F# since I installed Visual Studio 2010. It still exists and is used? :O

npub1hprf...df5y 2 years ago

You just reminded me that I once wrote a program in Pascal. Dart seems like a fine modern language but it doesn’t try to be a C++ competitor from what I can see. FFI is cool though!
