Ok that was fun, thanks for all the responses! Lots of great stuff in there.
Now take your favorite programming language and tell me the 3 things you most dislike about it.
No complaining about languages you don't use! -
Whoa, the plane that landed in front of us blew a tire on landing and delayed our takeoff by 20 minutes while they cleaned it up. ✈️

@aaronpk Really good, human-readable documentation; open package management; a short time to first run without proprietary tooling.

@aaronpk should be easy to script in it, should be easy to scale up and write OOP code in it, shouldn't be Objective C or Java.
What about ObjC and Java do you not like? -

@aaronpk Huh, that's a tough question. Functions and some kind of module-like construct as units of code reuse, and... I guess a syntax for comments?
It's easier for me to list features I think other people might consider mandatory that I don't think are critical, like objects, or loops, or Turing-completeness 😁
Or to list features I wish every language had but can't insist on, like type inference, sum types (aka "tagged unions"), and closures.

- robust community support and adoption
- good impedance match with problem space
- excellent support tooling
note that none of those are about the BNF.
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks! -
What are the three features a programming language absolutely must have in order for you to use it?
No wrong answers! Go! -
