Which programming languages don't u use,and for which reason

[Alain De Vos]

C : Too much code
C++ : Too complex
C# : Too many classes
Perl : No compile time type checking

I pretend not to know Java. Concerns about the code it is typically used for.

How about "D: all of the above"

I (was) fluent in C/C++ but don't see the point.
I don't write C# because I don't write DotNet.
I don't use any of the esoteric fringers because I don't have a need. At all.

I was a heavy ASM coder for years, but no longer have a need.
Except I still use inline ASM in Delphi. A lot.

Python. There is no "Perl's TMTOWTDI". That is, I have to write the code exactly as the Creator of the Language would have done it. And 'indents'

Java. Single-root hierarchy. There is too much to write to express a simple thought.

Go: "they" decided that stylistic preferences should be baked into the language spec (but I do like web-application written in go and vastly prefer them to those written in php, node.js or the like, I just won't write it).
C++: Yeah, far too complex and time-consuming to write (as compared to the options)
Javascript: Ew!. Just, Ew!

(to contrast, I *do* write:
C (programatically, I still think in C),
Rust (still learning. The rust compiler is far too opiniated, but those can (to date) be disabled, unlike Go),
shell (mostly only zsh dialect),
a little python,
and Java (like the language, do NOT like the run-time environment requirements and GC but I haven't programmed in java in years)),
once-upon-a-time I wrote a *lot* in Delphi)

scala is a good alternative to java.
