Life as a programmer isn't exactly smooth sailing. Coding can become
frustrating sometimes and no programming language is perfect. They all
have their highlights though. Here are a bunch of languages that
programmers dislike but use regularly!
1. Python: This high level programming language often irritates programmers with its indentation and high use of underscores and colons.
Avoiding it: Avoid working for Google, NASA or Yahoo.
2. LabVIEW: This development environment for G has a GUI programming approach and can often become a little too complex.
Avoiding it: Don’t take jobs that involve instrument control and industrial automation.
3. JavaScript: It is case sensitive, has different implementations for different browsers and has very weird rules of inheritance.
Avoiding it: Don’t become a web developer.
4. Tcl: Programmers often complain that the Tool Control Language has too simple a syntax and that it lacks pointers. In addition, it doesn’t have the best semantics either and variable scoping is confusing.
Avoiding it: Cisco, CNET, AOL or any other place that uses the OpenACS platform or the AOLserver should be avoided.
5. C++: This is one of the most useful programming languages, but common complaints against it include a huge (too big) feature set, slow compilation and manual memory management.
Avoiding it: Don’t be a game programmer and don’t work for Google or Adobe.
6. Perl: Perl is criticised for the fact that one thing can be done in too many different ways. Perl code is tough to read and maintain.
Avoiding it: Avoid working for Google, NASA or Yahoo.
