Don't learn python then. I'll be getting things done with python while you're busy typing up java.

Thats fine. Just don't come crying when you have to look at that mess and fix it.

Pretty hard to make a mess in python. And -- assuming the code isn't messy or otherwise crappy -- it's much easier to maintain code when there's less of it.

To each their own

Maybe one day I'll learn Python

C++ doing quite.. badly.

A guy in a programming class I took years ago refused to talk to me because I had taken a class on ada.

Scheme

They used it to teach basic programming at the U of MN back in '98 and '99...

Most programmers seem to love Java, while every sysadmin I know, your truly included, hates it.
It might be a nice language to program in, but the output after compilation pretty much always sucks.
I love this quote:

If Java had proper garbage collection, most programs would self-delete upon execution.

I took programming I in VB and thought it was pretty cool.
Then i took programming II and III in Java and decided I hated VB.
Then I spent 3 years as a professional VB/SQL developer and I now hate VB in a "yes, it's great for quickly developing really nice looking GUI based apps, but I still hate it for some reason" kind of way.


I also kinda hate T-SQL because it has enough functionality to almost convince you it's a real programming language.

Although Fortran is a close second. I guess PHP took the top spot because Fortran is VERY good at some things which makes up for it being a kludge of a language.

Yea, Ada sucks also. Didn't vote for it because I never did anything significant in it. Just had to use it for a data structures class. What a PITA ... more syntax then every other language I know combined.

Apparently the truly inclined programmers hate Java too. (I am way biased though )
