syntax - What are your language "hangups"? -

-

i've read of recent language vs. language questions interest... perl vs. python, python vs. java, can 1 language better another?

one thing i've noticed lot of have very superficial reasons disliking languages. notice these things @ first glance , turn off. shun languages result of features we'd learn love or ignore in 2 seconds if bothered.

well, i'm guilty next guy, if not more. here goes:

  • ruby: ruby example code see uses puts command, , that's sort of childish yiddish anatomical term. result, can't take ruby code though should.
  • python: first time saw it, smirked @ whole significant whitespace thing. avoided next several years. hardly use else.
  • java: don't identifiersthatlooklikethis. i'm not sure why exactly.
  • lisp: have trouble parentheses. things of different importance , purpose (function declarations, variable assignments, etc.) not syntactically differentiated , i'm lazy learn what's what.
  • fortran: uppercase hurts eyes. know modern code doesn't have written that, example code is...
  • visual basic: bugs me dim used declare variables, since remember ol' days of gw-basic when only used dimension arrays.

what languages did right me @ first glance? perl, c, qbasic, javascript, assembly language, bash shell, forth.

okay, i've aired dirty laundry... want hear yours. what language hangups? superficial features bother you? how have gotten on them?

i hate hate hate "end function" , "end if" , "if... then" parts of vb. rather see curly bracket instead.
