最近Stack Overflow上有一群讨厌perl的人,所以我想我应该把我的“关于你最喜欢的语言你讨厌的五件事”的问题带到Stack Overflow上。拿你最喜欢的语言来说,告诉我你讨厌它的五件事。这些可能只是让你烦恼的事情,承认的设计缺陷,公认的性能问题,或任何其他类别。你只需要讨厌它,它必须是你最喜欢的语言。

不要拿它和其他语言比较,也不要谈论你已经讨厌的语言。不要用你最喜欢的语言谈论你喜欢的事情。我只是想听到你讨厌但能容忍的东西,这样你就可以使用所有其他的东西,我想听到你希望别人使用的语言。

每当有人试图把他们最喜欢的语言强加给我时,我就会问这个问题,有时是面试问题。如果有人找不出他最喜欢的工具的5个缺点,那他对它还不够了解,不能提倡它,也不能利用它赚大钱。他还没有在足够多的不同情况下使用它来充分探索它。他把它作为一种文化或宗教来倡导,这意味着如果我不选择他最喜欢的技术,我就错了。

我不在乎你用什么语言。不想使用特定的语言?那就不要。你通过尽职调查做出了明智的选择,但仍然没有使用它?好吧。有时正确的答案是“你有一个强大的编程团队,有良好的实践和丰富的Bar经验。改成Foo是愚蠢的。”


This is a good question for code reviews too. People who really know a codebase will have all sorts of suggestions for it, and those who don't know it so well have non-specific complaints. I ask things like "If you could start over on this project, what would you do differently?" In this fantasy land, users and programmers get to complain about anything and everything they don't like. "I want a better interface", "I want to separate the model from the view", "I'd use this module instead of this other one", "I'd rename this set of methods", or whatever they really don't like about the current situation. That's how I get a handle on how much a particular developer knows about the codebase. It's also a clue about how much of the programmer's ego is tied up in what he's telling me.

憎恨并不是衡量人们了解多少的唯一尺度,但我发现它是一个相当不错的尺度。他们讨厌的事情也让我知道他们对这个话题的思考有多好。


当前回答

我使用Java,我最大的不满是字符串操作的低效率。当你使用+运算符时。说真的,难道编译器不能计算出我添加了多少字符串,然后在后台为我生成StringBuffer的东西吗?

通常,使用+的代码比StringBuffers操作序列更具可读性。

另外,我讨厌本机数组和集合框架之间的冗余。. toarray()的语法极其丑陋。

其他回答

不得不假设我们有语言。我们做什么?

帕斯卡对象:

There's a lot of jumping back and forth in the file you're editing since the interface and implementation are split into two parts but still jammed into the same file. Dynamic indexing of arrays, strings start at 1, you specify the starting index when declaring fixed arrays and dynamically allocated arrays always start at 0. Classes and objects (not to speak of interfaces) are bolted on top of the language and among other things can't be stack allocated like records can. When calling functions without parameters the () are optional, leading to a lot of pain when you are dealing with function pointers or trying to refer to the result of a function using the function name. Parameter lists can't handle fixed array types or function pointer types without external type definitions.

这仅仅是一种语言,一个标准库的遗憾借口,而脆弱的IDE应该有自己的列表。

Lua:

The built-in error system is absolutely horrendous You can implement a try-catch system by modifying the Lua interpreter; but it has no compatibility with the errors that are thrown by the built in functions. The fact they have __newindex instead of __setindex as the setter ... and __newindex is only fired when the key doesn't already exist. If it does, no metamethod is called at all. No good type comparison system. There's the type() function but it only handles the basic types (all tables are tables). It really needs to have a metamethod for type comparisons. I've implemented this before with an 'is' operator and a __type metamethod and it works really nicely. It's a bitch to define new keywords. You can do it, but the code inside Lua isn't well documented so it's kind of trial and error to find out how to get the result you want. This is a major issue when you want to implement the things I mentioned above yourself (not so much __setindex though, that's an easy modification). I can't use it in a web browser. Yeah not really a problem with the language itself, but damn, would I love to be able to use Lua instead of Javascript... :)

但这只是因为VB6毒害了整整一代程序员

我在一个曾经是VB6商店的VB . net商店工作,而在这里工作的每一个曾经是VB6开发人员的人都顽固地拒绝学习任何关于. net的知识。他们编写的代码就像VB6一样,他们的应用程序就像VB6应用程序一样糟糕。我的老板非常不鼓励使用LINQ,因为她担心其他人很难理解,这是事实,因为没有人想要理解它。

我认为如果微软只使用c#,我们会过得更好,这让我很难受,因为我认为花括号远不如VB的冗长结束语句。

EL -表达式语言,${…}和#{…JSF 2.0 Facelets用于从底层Java代码中提取数据。

All the fun things, like method calls with parameters and annotation based naming is only present in the EL in Java EE 6 which is only available in Glassfish v3. It is a royal pain to 1) get the right jars for an earlier Servlet 2.5 container, and 2) getting them to work without interfering with any previous implementation available in the container. Having only an earlier version of JSF like 1.2, takes away the method calls and leave you to work with f:setPropertyActionListener - http://weblogs.java.net/blog/2009/07/22/say-sayonara-spal - which, trust me on this, is not very nice. The EL parser has no idea of where the snippet it is to parse and interpret came from, so you tend to give everything an id so you at least can identify which tag made it grumpy. Eclipse gives a warning at every EL method call as it is JSF 1.2. only too.
