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#(好吧,我猜一部分是VisualStudio IDE):

No covariance (yet), like Class<D> cannot be used in place of Class<B> even though type D derives from type B. Graphic designers don't support generic based inheritance (or inheritance from abstract classes), even though the inheritance itself works just fine if you work around the designer problems by adding extra inheritance levels just so designers always see concrete non-generic variants of your code. No constructor inheritance No constructors in where clauses of generic type parameters VisualStudio seems to have a tendency to mysteriously check out files (like project files and/or unit test definitions) when opening a solution, even though the files do not seem to actually get altered.

如果你明天再问我,可能会有不同的名单。即使协方差和设计师的麻烦将在我的前5名,直到他们被解决(随着方差添加到c# 4.0,这似乎已经发生了至少一个…)

Perl代表了一种可怕的语言。

No "public" or "private" or "protected" declarations/definitions. The "my $variable_name;" does not declare a global outside of a subroutine. The "my $variable_name;" gets accessed by subroutines but "use strict;" or other "use " creates warnings. Function prototypes end up unexplained, undemonstrated, unwanted, or some other excuse. Overzealous symbol use ends up "cool and quick" when reading globs of symbols. When one gets hot they like to stay hot, and need nothing to cool them. After a week of Perl, I end up unable to write a function and prototype it. What exactly is a module and does it actually NEED a ".pm" extension? If you want to create a public variable and access it from inside a subroutine, how do you accomplish this without creating a warning? Where do you find some neat scripts that teach one some neat Perl?

我有一本书探讨了SNOBOL中的各种项目。第一章探讨了SNOBOL编程和语言的历史和文化,并花了一些时间论证一个优秀的程序员喜欢一种语言不是因为它的缺陷,而是尽管有缺陷。

我最喜欢的语言是Icon/Unicon。但还是有一些事情让我很恼火:

它不是很出名,也不是很受欢迎。 与PHP、Perl、Java等相比,它的库要小得多。数据库访问是通过ODBC完成的,这实际上非常烦人。 对于所有其他出色的列表处理,我想念PHP内置的explosion()和implode()。 它没有表常数。列表,是的,表格,不是。 它是一种编译(实际翻译)语言。

The behavior AndAlso / OrElse and And / Or seems backwards. Perhaps they should be switched. When can only be used for exception catching. The ability to do a When conditional would be nice for some other things. There is no friggin Refactoring in the VS IDE (not really the language's fault) like there is with C# Not <obj> Is Nothing. Yes, this has been remedied by IsNot, but for some reason I see the Not Is being used too often. (I see it much more frequently with devs who speak english as a second language, does it make better sense from that angle?) It doesn't require the () on ToString() and most functions. (Leads to sloppy coding habits) Having to do _ when breaking a line. It allows optional parameters. (Leads to sloppy coding habits) declaring an array is done by UpperBound and not by capacity. "Dim arr(2) as String" will actually hold 3 elements. Having = be a comparison and assignment operator.
