If learning enough of another language to do maintainence is hard
for you
you aren't much of a programmer. Programming is not about
knowing a
language.
Yes, language is just a tool, so I want to keep my tool simple and
powerful, I do not want so many similar tools with the same
functions.
What you haven't learned is there are different languages FOR A
REASON!
No one language is "best" for everything. For instance - I can code
web pages in C/C++ - but it is much faster for me to do it in PHP,
Perl
or Java. The same is true with anything else.
I've got over 40 years of programming experience; in that time I've
forgotten more languages than you have ever learned. Some no longer
even exist. But every one of them had certain advantages and
disadvantages - and those differences were a major reason why the
languages were chosen for their particular projects.
You don't like the way different languages handle strings - well,
guess
what. If they all did everything the same way, they wouldn't be
different languages!
To be blunt (like others) - so you don't like the fact different
languages are being used on your system. There is no way you're
going
to be able to rewrite all that code in C/C++ in your lifetime.
So you have two choices. You can accept that fact and continue to
learn, using the tools available to you, no matter what language,
just
like the rest of us do.
Or, you can continue to bitch about it and make yourself
miserable. In
this case, I suggest you try another profession - if you can't get
over
this little bit, you are not suited to be a programmer. This will
just
be the first of many frustrations for you.
And one more thing - you can continue to bitch in this email list,
but
if you do, it won't be long before people will stop responding to
you -
for ANY post, even when you're asking for help.
I open this thread as a programmer, you can ignore my questions about
programming in the future, but you should not ignore my questions as a
debian user.
I don't know if your culture is aware of the story of "The Boy Who
Cried Wolf," but you might want to look it up and see what it says.
The main point is that if people get used to seeing your emails
following a pattern, after a while, they're not going to bother to
read the same comments and lines of reasoning over and over if they
have never found them interesting in the past.
