Reminded me of the "Brief and mostly wrong history of programming languages"
I won't spoil it for you, but take a look at what it says about obj c, it's quite funny -
I think Erlang is actually a very nice and very consistent language. It looks ugly because of its Prolog roots (that syntax will make a lot of sense if you learn Prolog). It's one of my favorite examples of language design actually. Once you get over the learning curve almost everything in that language just makes sense because it's so specialized.

erlang introduced me to the conceptsof arity, and matching which are not at all bad things.

@RememberMe BTW how you handle clean code in Erlang? Any Advice? because my code looks messy
-
@johnmelodyme it's all pretty much about programming in a functional, immutable style and respecting the standard patterns (gen_server etc.). Everything else just falls out from modularity.

jQuery is not a programming language, it's a library. And it's not really weird, just fluent. "Take these things from the document, chain methods to do stuff on them until you are satisfied". Only real problem can be the (rare) cases where a function doesn't return what you think it returns, but you can pinpoint that fairly easily.

matt-jd10094yLike previous people mentioned what's wrong with erlang? It's very consistent and it makes sense, there's some YouTube video explaining the fish bone structure of erlang syntax or something like that. As for Joe Armstrong he did just base it on prolog. I'd say erlang syntax is one hell of a improvement compared to prolog. I'd definitely recommend listen to him talk about it, there are some videos online.

@electrineer bruh hide that comment before some HR sees it and thinks you're being serious
I wonder the creator of jQuery , Objective C , Erlang, what were they smoking while creating these programming languages......
Whenever I code in Erlang (server side) or Objective C (iOS) I can feel that the creator is damn high...
Objective C is weird that I have to call an object by allocation . Like get me thinking is that OOP? Or Functional.
