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。

我讨厌c++的五个方面

联系时间。使用分布式构建,我可以在同一时间重新构建我们的整个项目,它需要我们的链接器运行。 没有防止内存操作重新排序的标准方法。使用写组合内存通常需要滥用volatile关键字。防止读重排序(在处理SIMD数学管道时通常是优化的关键)通常是通过在例程中间注入空ASM块来实现的。 多步宏来解决字符串化问题:

#define STR_LINE2(x) #x
#define STR_LINE(x)   STR_LINE2(x)
#define LINE_NUMBER STR_LINE(__LINE__)

做字符串操作通常是很痛苦的。 大量的非标准化printf变体(vsnprintf_s vs _vsnprintf_s)。

c# / .net:

Classes should be sealed by default There should be no lock statement - instead, you should have specific locking objects, and there should be methods such as Acquire which return disposable lock tokens. Corollary: there shouldn't be a monitor for every object. GetHashCode() and Equals() shouldn't be in System.Object - not everything's suitable for hashing. Instead, have an IdentityComparer which does the same thing, and keep the IComparer<T>, IComparable<T>, IEqualityComparer<T> and IEquatable<T> interfaces for custom comparisons. Poor support for immutability Poor way of discovering extension methods - it should be a much more conscious decision than just the fact that I'm using a namespace.

这些都是我想出来的,明天问我,我会想出一个不同的5个:)

Common Lisp

缺少提供更现代功能的标准库(套接字,线程,…) 是否可以使用映射到本机窗口系统的标准化UI Scheme将lambda表达式赋值给变量并将变量直接作为函数调用使用的能力看起来比APPLY for FUNCALL更整洁。我猜这是使用多个名称空间的副作用 标准化的库源代码级打包系统,以便可以从多个实现中轻松使用它们

我想知道强类型的口齿不清会是什么样子

C#

我对c#非常满意,但这两个真的让我很恼火:

Constructor-based initialization for immutable classes is less convenient, less intuitive (when you read the code you don't understand what you assign to what), has less IDE backing than inline object initialization. This makes you lean towards mutable classes inevitably. I know this has been mentioned before, but I strictly have problems with initialization syntax for immutable classes. switch is too verbose. Whenever I see a situation where a switch would be proper, I'm really inclined to use an if..else if.. just because it's more terse (~30% less typing). I think there should be no fallthrough for switch, break should be implied, and case should allow comma separated list of values.

我不敢相信,我最讨厌的Python竟然还没被提到:

(Prior to 3.x) Relative imports look like absolute imports. import foo Does this import foo from the directory you're standing in or from the sys.path? Zipped eggs, leading to a sys.path full of shite. Zipped eggs means you can't use grep and find (to among other things debug problem 1)! Fortunately, there's pip. Use pip. Some of the included batteries are unpythonic. It grates to use them. Might be the fault of distro's and packagers, but still: sourcefile-encoding set to fscking ASCII on install/compile. WTF? Means I have to put the "# coding: UTF-8"-stuff in every single .py I ever make.

Py3k解决了我的其他几个讨厌的问题,例如坚持字符串是unicode的,8位的东西是不同的……

C++

(除了lambda函数,我已经避免了Cpp0X中可用的东西)

不强制使用"this"访问成员变量,::GlobalFunction访问全局命名空间。 (更具体地说,算法中缺少lambda函数,将在0x thou中修复)中的所有内容 处理依赖文件/头文件和源文件 基本数据类型上的愚蠢名称(应该命名为uint8, int16等) const_cast功能
