Jokes aside, I struggle more with abominations like JavaScript and even Python.
Yeah JavaScript is a bit weird, semicolons being optional and compulsory at the same time: I remember trying to build an electron example ~5yrs ago and it didn't work unless I put in the semicolons which the developers omitted.
Python is just glorified shell scripting. Libraries like numpy are cool but I don't like the indentation crap, I'm getting used to it because University likes it.
Do you not use indentation in other languages?
Yes but it's difficult in a long program to tell which scope you are in or where one ends. I don't know what is so unfriendly about
{and}, my editor can highlight pairs of them, it's just nicer to work with.
