"Somebody do something about this, before I LOSE MY FUCKING MIND!?!?!"

Um, what, exactly, is stopping the ranter from doing something about it himself? Is there a law that only people born into a special caste are allowed to create programming languages?

Or is he just too lazy to do more than bitch about the world being sub-optimal?



If he did, he would risk learning why things are the way they are. There's definitely room for improvement, but modern languages have evolved this way for a reason. If he wants his own bloated DSL, then best of luck; but I probably don't want that same language for my projects.


Most surveyors don't know how to actually build the road, they just know which way it should go.
