The perception that PHP is still a bad language.

The inconsistency of standard function parameters.

The lack of generics.

Not sure where Apple is going with exclusive podcasts, but it’s probably nowhere good. By default I’m against any “podcast” that can’t play in multiple podcast apps because it erodes the openness of the ecosystem.

An interactive interpreter prompt is essential

A really solid library ecosystem

Great HTTP and JSON support with minimal hassle

I wish Python had multi-line lambdas (though I can't imagine a good syntax for them)

I hate how complicated it is to bundle compiled C dependencies in Python packages

I'm jealous of JS tagged template literals - f-strings aren't quite as good, they're missing the tags

If I whittle down the things I dislike about Rust, ultimately it's that it has a young ecosystem that's a little bit too under resourced.

There are now two Flash Forward copy-cats out there, both claiming to have invented a brand new genre. One of them is super well funded. The other is about to make $$ on a Kickstarter. Watching people who wouldn't give me the time of day praise these new shows as "innovative" truly makes me want to find a new career.

ugh that is the worst, I'm so sorry!

Pavlov: the dogs salivate when I ring a bell
Me: weird. Why?
Pavlov: they connect two unrelated events due to repeated conditioning
Me: haha stupid animals
Pavlov: the experiment took 69 days
Me: nice

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?
