Can we just stop hating on some programming languages? What's the point? All languages have their pros and cons. Deal with it.

Dude it's devrant 😂, what else did u expect? It's all about the bad parts of programming languages or Microsoft

@cgrey You're right but... people hate on php just becuase they can. They have no reason..?

Algol? Forth? Modula-2? Smalltalk?

Seriously, find a good reason to use any of these over now modern/current languages, and I'll eat my hat.

@RevThwack I'd love to see you eat your hat

@liammartens I've got plenty of hot sauce...

@RevThwack I strongly believe it would be quite amusing to watch

Good ol' TCL. Gonna write the frontend for my next Delphi backend in it

@RevThwack @liammartens how about legacy support? There's got to be a company somewhere that has a Narnia type project in SmallTalk or something xD.

Can I buy you a fedora to eat?

Except PHP. It has no pros. FUCK YOU ZEND FRAMEFUCK

@DucksCanCode saying "legacy support" isn't showing a pro of using a language. Also, with languages as old, obsolete, and esoteric as these, you're almost guaranteed to either improve your business process, decrease support costs, and improve future viability by migrating to a current platform/language. Hell, people are fleeing from COBOL because of these very reasons, and it's a more robust and better option than any of these for most any problem.

"Can't we all just git along?"

Yeah, I'll see myself out.

@RevThwack sure not a pro or a benefit, but your original question was for a good reason. A good reason would be having to support legacy code that for some reason or another hasn't been migrated yet.

@cdrice hehe, so bad it's good

Nope, we can't. Java sucks

You're right, of course. All languages excel at something. It's just easy to hate on a language that excels at -one- thing. 😂

@Kimmax TCL is useful for writing test harnesses. See sqlite testing suite ;)

Just gona leave this here link to a guy saying VB is better then C#, makes me laugh especially the comments. https://simple-talk.com/dotnet/...

are u supporting scratch

All hail brainfuck!!!

@hyeonu it's the language of future.
