are there any web languages that are least moderately tolerable? i do front end and middleware work and i don't mind using java for the middleware but i'm stuck using flex 4 at work because the big banks still think it's the greatest thing ever and i don't want to maintain legacy webapps forever or learn some useless flavor of the week. i know vanilla js but i haven't used any of the big frameworks.

not really. mvc3 is ok as long as you keep your models simple.

a while back i saw this java thing called zk that i wanted to try out cause it was claiming to have a xaml-like for the web, but i never got around to it.

I haven't done much perl, but Python is also good for quickly and easily computering a thing.

similar but not as much

perl you can grow a program from the command line and then into a script. I hear nice things about building large applications in modern perl, amongst the horror stories of inheritance.

meanwhile python isn't as easy for the quick hacks but I've found growing python to be less painful. it will never beat perl for disposable programs, but better for hacks you have to revisit.

right now i hate it because it skips breakpoints for no reason.

but long term visual studio grievances include, but are not limited to:
it doesnt error check in real time.
the autocomplete isn't context aware.
the format blows more goats than the debugger.
keyboard shortcuts dont make sense.
common commands are hidden, useless commands are on the context menu.
it opens files in your project when you click on them once (to highlight them)
and probably 100 other things.

eclipse does this stuff way better.

i liked the part where you knew how to make a powerpoint slide and actually hold an overarching theme that flowed from one to the next. it's one of those things that youd think everyone could do but it's pretty rare.

it just seems like this is part of your job which if it is you should work on your breathing, you sound tense. in every day convo try to speak from your belly rather than your chest.

(I tend to talk really really fast making my mouth dry up and it sounds gross)

I practiced. it helps. I ended up in a workshop for giving talks, at a conference, recently. I was told the secret is to write your script before you write slides (the script is on github). that and breaking the talk into three segments: your talk, your talk, and your talk

you introduce your talk by giving it in miniature, then expand upon it in 2-3 segments, before closing by repeating your talk in miniature, building on what you've explained.

seemed to work.

I may have nipped outside for ~a smoke~ before talking. I was panicking inside somewhat as I normally talk to a more familiar audience, rather than mostly strangers.

You know tbc and shaggar I think you are both being very narrow minded and gimmickposting, very few languages are outright bad in my opinion, and simply trying to fit any one language, be it java or php or python or haskell or buttfart to ever task is pretty dumb.


I think all languages have some merit in the right context. Except for the exception that proves the rule, of course. Php has no merit ever. It just sucks.
