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。
C#
c#最让人讨厌的是:
(1)事件具有对所有侦听器的强引用，从而防止了侦听事件的任何东西的垃圾收集。如果你想看到这造成的问题，只需在网上搜索所有试图通过创建某种“弱引用事件处理程序”来解决问题的人。
(2)在调用一个事件之前，需要检查它是否等于null，这似乎应该由语言来处理。
(3) XML序列化器无法读取/写入XML文件中的注释。在手工修改XML文件和用c#编写的工具修改XML文件的环境中，情况并不好。可以通过使用原始的XmlDocument来解决，但如果能够将其抽象到一个类中会更好。
(4)构建过程不允许您直接访问xsd文件之类的东西，相反，您需要一个中间步骤，即创建一个c#部分类。这也会导致XAML文件出现问题，有时需要重新构建两次才能使更改正确地通过。
(5)不支持CPU intrinsic，如MMX和SSE 1,2,3,4，因此这些有价值的CPU特性在运行c#应用程序时无法使用。
其他没有进入我的前5名:
(6)不能将字段标记为属性，所有属性必须从一开始就显式地实现:
目前有:
public class MyClass {
private int someInt;
public int SomeInt {
get {
return someInt;
}
set {
someInt = value;
}
}
}
想
public class MyClass {
[IsProperty(public, get, set)]
private int someInt;
}
(7)不支持多个返回值，例如:
public int, string, double MyFunction()
{
....
return x,y,z;
}
public void TestMyFunction()
{
int x, string y, double z = MyFunction();
}
(8)不支持协变返回类型
我对泛型实现有一些不满，但我就此打住。我认为c#是一种很棒的语言，可以完成所有的GUI、网络和配置管道，并且是我的首选语言，可以以一种可以长期支持的方式快速启动和运行。
MEL(玛雅表达语言):
Single dimensions arrays: Forcing me to manually sync two or more lists, or use delimited strings to simulate more complex data structures. Naturally, they're immutable too.
Single threaded and slow: Causing the entire Maya application to hang while it completes a task. Bonus points for not being able to kill long operations, instead having to close and re-open Maya.
Script sourcing paths aren't recursive: Meaning every directory you want to store scripts in must all be added to the script path.
No namespaces: Forcing the inconsistent use of naming conventions to make sure global procedures don't collide.
Modal commands: Each command is modal, meaning the Create, Modify, and Query operations are all handled by setting flags. This also forced the developers to cause most of the commands to return arrays
Inconsistent command style: Most array commands actually return arrays, but the Tokenize command has to take an array as a reference which it then populates, rather than spitting out an array. This among other inconsistencies.
这些以及其他几个原因是AutoDesk采用Python作为次要脚本语言的原因，这带来了其他一些令人讨厌的因素:
并不是所有的MEL命令都受支持:大多数都受支持，但有时您会发现自己不得不使用MEL()函数来执行一些任意代码。更糟糕的是，你不得不对它进行所有烦人的逃避。
继承了模态命令风格:必须使用相同的create=True, query=True, edit=True的东西。
C#
它是一种很棒的语言，特别是在LINQ中，但是与c++相比泛型支持较差。它有如此多的潜力，但目前的实现只对强类型集合和类似的琐碎事情有用。下面举几个例子:
A generic argument cannot be restricted to enums (only classes or structs).
A generic argument cannot be a static class. Why? This seems like a completely artifical restriction.
You cannot specify that a generic type must have a constructor with a certain signature because you cannot have constructors on interfaces. Why not? It's just another method with the special name ".ctor".
Similarly, you cannot specify that a generic type must have a static method, because those also cannot be declared on interface. Something like static T Parse(string s) would often come in useful.
The compiler is too eager in prohibiting some casts which the programmer knows would actually work, so they require uglyness like (TheRealType)(object)value
No covariance, eg. IList<string> cannot be converted to IList<object>, even though string[] can be converted to object[]. (Microsoft might be fixing this in C# 4.0, though.)
