Go, Python, and JavaScript are the software world’s equivalent of a flashy but undercooked meal at a cheap chain restaurant—overhyped, overused, and underwhelming. These languages are an infection, spreading their mediocrity across projects and minds alike, perpetuating a culture of laziness and half-baked engineering.
Go? It’s the IKEA furniture of programming languages. Sure, it assembles quickly, but don’t lean on it too hard—it’s got the structural integrity of wet cardboard. Its simplicity is a thinly veiled excuse for its lack of expressiveness. Error handling? Let's turn "verbosity" into a feature! Go is like a toddler with a hammer: everything looks like a nail, and the damage is everywhere.
Python, the darling of academia and wannabe data scientists, hides behind its indentation-as-syntax gimmick like a child wearing its parent’s coat. "Readable," they say, as if we’ve forgotten the mess of inconsistencies and runtime exceptions waiting to implode in production. It’s a scripting language duct-taped into being everything it was never meant to be—a hacker's sketch turned into Frankenstein’s monster.
And JavaScript, oh, JavaScript. It’s not a language; it’s a joke that got out of hand. Originally designed in ten days and it shows. JavaScript is what happens when you let chaos write code. It’s dynamic typing on crack, undefined everywhere, and callbacks nested so deep you could dig to China. Don’t even start on npm—dependency hell should be classified as a form of torture.
These languages thrive because they cater to the lowest common denominator of developers—those who mistake ease of use for good design. They’ve created a generation of coders who don’t think, don’t plan, and don’t care about performance or reliability. They are a plague, choking out the rigor and discipline that gave birth to software engineering in the first place.
Real programmers don’t need training wheels. We don’t need "convenience" that sacrifices clarity, stability, and control. We write code that lasts, that performs, that doesn’t need a rewrite every six months because the framework flavor of the week changed. If you want to build something worth a damn, throw away the bloat and start thinking like an engineer—not a script kiddie chasing trends.
