I mean that they are poorly designed. And year regular languages are just as badly designed. I'd say c++ is just as bad as javascript tbh.

    C++ is just an exceptionally badly designed language.

    The weakness of C++ is that it attempted to be backwards compatible with C. It’s like it’s trying to be two programming languages at once.

    And then it became like three languages at once when smart pointers became the norm. It makes it very difficult and confusing to learn.

    Go, Ruby, and Python are all pretty great

    I do really love python. Just wish they did stronger typing.

    If that's the case I highly suggest you check out Golang. It's got strict types like Java but it's a lot more intuitive and expressive than either Java or C#.

    My favorite language is Ruby, for those same reasons, but Go would be a better fit for someone who likes strong typing with a certain je ne sais qoui.
