C sucks. how about a stdlib that doesn't encourage buffer overflows

c++ sucks. operator overloading?? templates??? what were you smoking bjarne!

c# sucks. it was made by microsoft. nuff said.

perl sucks. having your two year old kid design the syntax just isn't a good idea

phyton sucks. self.this self.that and a retarded community

ruby sucks. "it's OOP so it must be good!" suck my cock

lisp sucks. the syntax is so retarded nobody uses it despite it having some good ideas

ml sucks. does anyone even know what ml is?

haskell sucks. once in a while i'd like to have a mutable variable that doesn't require a phd in cs to use!

java just plain sucks.

...

the programming INDUSTRY sucks because you're all a bunch of cocks that were too stupid or narrowminded to study some worthwile natural science

C sucks. how about a stdlib that doesn't encourage buffer overflows

Stopped reading here because you obviously don't understand the purpose of C.  Go back to Visual Basic please.

Please stop bumping this steaming load of horsefuck.

But what about Lisp‽

>>42
My thoughts exactly when I saw his post, but I decided not to post it as it would have been likely pointless, however it's a bit funny how he complains about things like RAII, when you can do that in a much proper manner and much much more with Lisp macros.

>>37
Anyone who says /prog/ was better before is full of shit. The 6502 was not microcoded, unlike e.g. the Z80.

>>42,43
Only on /prog/ is Lisp ever a realistic choice as a serious programmer language.

>>45
0/0

>>46

Don't you dare divide by zero in my /prog/; that's dangerous to the environment, you know.

Lisp sucks. the syntax is so retarded

Syntax? What syntax?

>>48
Lisp syntax.

>>49
Nice oxymoron, buddy

2/10

>>50
`(you ,(*must* &be ,@mistaken) ',lisp has #.syntax #\!)

>>52
When it comes to Common Lisp's syntax, it's still trivial (and modifiable - read macros which you've already shown a few examples of). Everything, including the parens are done using read macros, which is nice, simple and uniform:

CL-USER> (get-macro-character #\()
#<FUNCTION SB-IMPL::READ-LIST>
NIL

Lisp's semantics on the on the other hand can be quite rich and complex compared to other languages.

>>53
Sure.

I enjoy disproving the common mistaken assumption that "lisp has no syntax".

I need to pee
^ahhhh ahhhhhh _ahhhhhhh
uuUUUuuUu uuUU uuUUUUUuuUUuUUU uuuUuUUUuUuuUu uuUuUUu

Why don't you use D then?

>>1
How about you write your own io, string, hash and tree-libraries on top of stdlib like everyone elses does?
Not much to bitch about if you do that, is there, bitch?
