uhh PHP dislikes are going up (what a surprise)
I don't really get why people hate it so much, sure it has it's flaws, but it also has it's strengths.
Some people also hate Obamacare, civil liberties and human rights. Who knows why?

#23And the award of least significant poll of the week goes to... Seriously, you won't get anything meaningful out of this, people will vote for the language they like and then bash the usual suspects (PHP, actionscript, C++,...). Also they will browse the first 20 entries or so and then get bored and skip to the end. I'm sure the people who "dislike cobol" (7 people at the moment) have intimate knowledge of the languag…
All programming languages claim to be better than that "Other" language!

#24What is it about CoffeeScript that people don't like?
CoffeeScript is only syntactic sugar. It brings very little new to the table, but perhaps worse of all, it doesn't really fix all of JavaScript's WTF-issues while adding a few of its own. While it's an improvement over JavaScript, its advantages are sometimes outweighed by the extra hassle to compile and deploy it.
I don't really dislike it but I really do not see myself using it if I had a task where I needed JavaScript.

#25This poll should be more specific with Visual Basic. There are a few different languages that share the name VB.
VBA
VB.NET
VB6
VBScript

#26Like or Dislike... for which use case? For instance, I don't plan on ever writing web applications in Lua, but I consider it a very good choice for game scripting. Does it mean I like it? Or dislike it?

#27What is it about CoffeeScript that people don't like?
The syntax is broken. Things like operator precedence and associativity are the exact opposite of math conventions:
f x + f y // is f(x + f(y))
f g x // is f(g(x))Re: Poll: What are your liked and disliked programming languages?

Polls like these are meant to be subjective and to encourage discussion. Dismissing them because they're not scientific kind of misses the point.

Just curious, why are people bashing Actionscript? The language itself is based on Javascript and Javascript isn't getting so much hate. I know everyone hates Flash now... maybe I just still have a soft spot in my heart for programming Flash-based games back in the day.
