Programming Language Opinions Thread

Post you're opinions on the following programming languages + any more you want to comment on:

* Java, C, C++, Go, Rust
* PHP, Perl, Ruby, Python, Javascript
* Lisp, Scheme
* Ocaml, Haskell

C

very good for systems programming but easy to misuse

C++

potentially allows you to write more readable C but most devs use it to write labirynthine abominations

Go

has potential

Rust

shit

PHP

it's so hackish and kludgy it makes C look well designed. most of people who develop in it are idiots

Perl

good for getting shit done

Ruby

see above, I guess; not sure why use it instead of Perl

Python

also good for getting shit done

Javascript

shit for anything serious but its ubiquity combined with endless ways you can fuck with the code has many fun security implications (see JSFuck for example)

Lisp

I'm not good at functional but I find it interesting so I'd like to learn it one day. also Lain

Scheme

not sure why would I use it instead of Lisp

OCaml

it's a mess

Haskell

looks elegant so I like it
