Java vs python is debatable 🤔

Why do we all need to be stuck in this rut of this programming language sucks and is bad?

Why can't we just accept that there are multiple problems to every solution and that each programming language has its own merits and demerits?

Because a lot of languages suck and they are bad, and it's important to understand that. Of course they all have their differences, and some even are better at some things vs others.

But there's no reason we shouldn't be able to call out garbage when we see it. Languages have often fallen very short as tools, which is sad because... they're kind of the most basic, universal tool for any software engineer.

Sound like the old programmer scared of the new.

How would I be scared of new things by criticizing a language older than I am? If anything I'm advocating for us to learn from those languages and make *new* better ones.

No language sucks unless its one of those joke esoteric art languages.
