Dart will disappoint you, and C++ will continue to run the world.

Language I dislike: Rust

Language I begrudgingly respect: OCaml

Language I think is overrated: Anything that had come into direct contact with ECMAScript.

Language I think is underrated: Zig. Agree.

Language I like: Object PASCAL

Language I love: C#

Language I dream of writing in: I don’t anymore. All my dreams died when ECMAScript took over.

I’ll add one:

Language I have to use the most: C++

My languages of choice - C#, F#

C# bro LFG!!! I love it.

C

Solid choice. Did that on DOS for a few years at the beginning of my career.

I’ve just gotten spoiled to things like std::vector too much. Hard to overestimate how big a difference in your style having containers that track their own length makes.

I feel naked in C now, but it’s still solid and easy to follow.

He must be a Googler

🤣

Making lists like this aren’t as fun as they used to be, now that I’m either learning or using things I hate on a regular basis.

Lisp

Never seen it used in anything.

Emacs 😄

https://logseq.com/ is written in clojure and is pretty cool. But it remains one of the rare things I've seen this in action

That’s interesting. I didn’t know that about LogSeq

I dislike Rust too, and any functional language. I think Rust borrows its data structure from functional langs.

Curious why you dislike Rust. I’m learning it atm and like it so far though I still prefer C.

You just reminded me that I once wrote a program in Pascal. Dart seems like a fine modern language but it doesn’t try to be a C++ competitor from what I can see. FFI is cool though!
