“there are 2 types of programming languages: those which are hated and those which are not used” - someone probably
- Albert “Confucius” Einstein
I would put rust onto the table, programmers always seem to fawn over it whenever it is brought up.
I mean, I’ve seen some people get annoyed by it, because it is so highly praised, yet obviously can’t do every job in the most optimal way. But yeah, I guess, they rather hate the Rust Evangelism Strike Force™ than the language itself.

Funnily enough there was just some serious drama within Rust with the mod team resigning.
funnily enough, the rust subreddit just posted some of their grievances.
Obsolete and forgotten programming languages are the ones people don’t complain about
Clojure and Lisp users are generally happy. I’ve been using Clojure for around a decade, and I still experience joy working with the language. For me, it’s a combination of having an interactive workflow where I can see results as soon as I make changes coupled with having a simple and consistent language that allows me to focus on the problem I’m solving without thinking about language quirks.
(from my gf): Rust is present. It just is in the bathroom right now ;)
OMG MEMORY SAFE BATHROOM!!!
