Ask HN: What's your most unpopular dev opinion?

Lisp is a king of PLs, those who do not write in Lisp are just ruining our world because FOSS values are effectively lost if bad guys can use GPL code which becames elusive after compilation. Lisp program which does not share its source code can not share full set of properties which are expected from Lisp code. Some devs really understand how it is inevitable to be fully FOSS for the sake of preventing digital feudalism, but no one claims that all software must be not only FOSS but also written in Lisp.

Rust doesn't belong in the Linux kernel. eBPF turned Linux into a microkernel. systemd is terrible and bloated. IPv6 addresses are convoluted. Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem proves we'll never have Artificial General Intelligence.

Well, these should get me in trouble here fairly quickly...

• Modern Java is a good language.

• It's ok not to be polyglot.

• Debugging should not start with the debugger.

• If you can't express yourself clearly you probably can't think clearly.

• HN should support Markdown :)

Some exceptions for all of these, of course.

TypeScript is too much work for not enough reward.
