I HATE Programming Language!

I hate Visual Basic. I think it's the most pointless language ever!
I hate programming in general. It's not my thing. I took "Intro to C++" my freshmen year of college and barely passed because the professor sucked so bad. He claimed to have been a programmer for YEARS but he could barely use his laptop.

I hate Perl
Dude Perl is the duct tape language. It is not pretty, and confusing as heck when you see something like this
/usr/bin/perl -e | -s //*\[-ee=1++]/*/*//s/e
You are just like what in the hell is there all those slashes for?????? However, Perl gets the job done still today when other languages cannot. I have a Perl handbook and I don't really know perl that well at all. However I have had to use it a few times to make things work. I usually google search for the perl code needed and copy/paste.
Very useful language still, also very convoluted and makes no sense.
Agreed. PERL is great, I wrote an FTP client and server in PERL.
COBOL and RPG were the worst things I've had to write. Not a fan of .NET either but it's not so bad. Just the online learning resources are definitely not there.

That has got to be the first time I have ever seen you say "dude".
I hate...Actually, I don't know any languages I hate. I've done HTML, Java, C, and now C++, which I love.

But, how can you hate VB. It is such a simple language and can do near anything. There are arguably better ways to do things, but the term "jack of all trades" comes into play with VB, it is so versatile, and a great beginners language

He's not lying. It is all too easy just like c#. Haha, In my c++ and python class a GUI environment for our programs was the very last chapter we worked on, yet in vb and c# the first thing we learn is how to make the gui pretty.
I'm trying to learn assembly right now....and it's not that fun...

Yes, it might be good for beginners, but it doesn't easily lead you into using another language. I think that starting with something like C# or Java will be much better.
I did VB.NET followed by Java and I didn't really understand the concepts of OOP properly until I did Java. But I guess that might have come down to the IDE's, for VB we jumped straight into Visual Studio, but when I learned Java we used an IDE called "BlueJ" which is a Java learning tool developed by some of the lecturers at my uni

I agree with you.VB rocks!It's syntax is very easy to understand and you can do SO MUCH with it.Believe it or not,it is actually possible to make programs for live video viewing through the cameras in VB and MANY other miracles.I know one programmer who was making miracles in old VB 6.0.
I personally use the C# programming language and it rocks!It is based on the .NET framework and I love it the most.I have tryed couple of languages such as VB,C#,C++,J#,F# and so on and my favorite one will always be the C#.
What I hate in programming?
Well...I hate when I get errors in the code in my programs xD lol xD But then again...who doesn't xD
By the way...those who hate making the GUI in the C++,make it in the C# and then just paste that code into the C++ language and make some changes and it will work perfectly.
TIP: If you are using old C++ like 2002 or 2003,be sure that you use MANAGED C++ APPLICATION!

Out of the languages I know well enough to have an informed opinion, I'd say Java. I wouldn't say I hate it though, I just really dislike the way it does certain things.

I don't like
I don't like c# because they are copying from Java. I don't like any programming languages released by microsoft.
I am fan of Java.
I started my programming world with c. now i know about 7 Languages including c,c++,java.

Agree PERL is awesome, especially to break out and write a few rough and dirty scripts. I used perl for an entire natural language app to read scientific journals. Its idea for reg exps, it was the birth place for them I beleive...although now you can get on most other platforms...albeit normally in a clunky way.
Oh and hashes were on perl before C and VB i think ?

Yeah I wish I knew Perl better. The thing is, when I look at perl, the syntax for their regex is just, well sort of ridiculous. Even though regex can be a pain to read and decipher to begin with because of all the slashes, dots, symbols, and other things that go into a regex. Then add in escapes for spacing and such.
Perl is on my list, but I would much rather get better at bash, python, ruby, and awk & sed.

This is the biggest program I have ever made:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nextop/
I made it with VB. I just can't sit in front of a screen (typing jib-jab and pulling my hair out) long enough to make anything else.

i personally am not to fond of programming i did a bit before and fond i'm not to keen on software programming but at some point in the future i will be doing hardware programming or something very simalar, probably as part of my course (when i get to start it), that i know i will enjoy
4 all who hate programming
Hello! This question is for all who hate programming and for those who can't start and don't know where to start. What would make you like programming? I'm preparing to a build programming course. The first part is here:
Programming course for newbies
Would something like this satisfy you? I know ... it isn't perfect but what is?
Best wishes!
