I'm the kind of person that says "Fuck python, worst language, fuck C#, Java, Golang", assembly and C are superior.

But I have learned my lesson; Yesterday I learned enough C# to be able to make a windows app that connects to a another app via sockets. I tried first to do it with C++ but my app looked like shit and took me about a whole day to make. Then I tried with C#, got the App working on an hour, now I'm delighted with C#. I guess I have to be open-minded.

    As with anything, pick the right tool for the job.

    While you can use a screwdriver for basically anything, having some variety in your tools will make your life so much easier.

    You can say fuck "x" all you want, but one day that guy will be the right guy for the job.

    I once interveiwed someone for an Ios dev job.
    When I asked what he prefered - xib/nib or storyboard (aiming for a usecase based answer), he told me none. insisted on C++ ftw.

    for iPhone.

    so yes - fancy screwdriver, but still....

    But.... JS really sucks. And to be able to truly hate a languge, you should be proficient in it. So you might understand my pain.

    All languages have their place. I agree with @Root here I believe it should be looked at as it’s more of the right tool for the right job.

    @unclesam C has its place, and it isn’t going anywhere soon.

    @Root I doubt it will ever really be “gone” just like asm is never going to go away.

    @unclesam I actually enjoy C more than C++. Well, not always, but when I can use it, I use it. Probably because most of the things I do are in the low-level sector.

    I never thought I would enjoy anything starting with "C" untill I actually tried C# and found it to be very similar to other OOP languages I used. 6 months later I'm able to build working games in Unity.

    Not beautiful ones though, but it's a start and I enjoy coding in C#. Openmindedness is very important.
