VBScript is the most awful language I've ever used. Thankfully I've forgotten most of the pain it caused me.
I use VBScript almost daily because I support an old proprietary system that offers 3 choices for business logic scripting (VBScript is actually the best of the three).
Anything .NET, because I don't see the point of learning a proprietary non-cross platform language.
The programming languages that would make me the most sad/angry/annoyed I don't use , so it's difficult to make a choice. I suppose I'll have to go with Javascript because it's the de facto 'Web language' which people use to force me to evaluate arbitrary code whenever I want to read anything on the Web. Even with a sandbox that seems a terrible idea. If we're talking about programming languages I hate but still use…
pylint catches most such common errors.
Node.js because it's very horrible concept for 1000 reasons.
Objective-C. The syntax of this language is hideous. In most cases with languages like C#/Java/Python/Ruby etc. even if you don't know them you can understand a few things by looking at the code. Every-time I look at Objective-C code it hurts my eyes. What a convoluted piece of crap.
Easily Visual Basic for me. My first exposure academically to a programming language was Visual Basic. This was what they "force-taught" at school. I already had experience with Java/PHP/C, and just wreethed inside with disgust at the rationale for learning Visual Basic. It was a horrible experience that was forced upon me by my school's teacher. (I was about 16-17 at the time I think). As a form of silent defiance,…
my first academically forced language was Java and now I hate java the most. I wonder if more people hate the first language they got taught.
I especially don't understand the point of a VM like the CLR that only runs on one platform. It's fucking retarded.
On top of that, after having worked in an "enterprise C#" project for an unfortunate year, the kind of person who thinks C# is a really neat idea just doesn't get along with my style of programming.
I had to reiterate constantly "Do the simplest thing that will work". And they would get pissed at me whenever I inserted something at the wrong layer of their pointless abstraction hierarchy. Delegates, XML, and design patterns abstracting ONE thing where everywhere. It was fucking horrible and it took the team forever to get anything done.
