I believe you referred to brainfuck, just for the record.

> As I get older, I think I hate them all.

There is some deep pessimism in the software world that I feel constructive.

When engineers talk about how much they hate the tools even they don't have to use, I think it shows the care they have toward the profession.

Bahh.. Don't be so patronizing. I'm a nerd dude. I was joking when I said I hate them all. I'll fuck Java and PHP in a 3some if given the chance.

I'm saying as long as I get paid I'll do the job because I'm an hourly coder (pays more, have mouths to feed). I do plenty of "fun" work and open source work.

It's the same reason people in any field put down things - they like to feel superior by putting down the tools that others use, thereby increasing their own relative stature.

[foolinator]

I hate people who put down people. They're assholes and stupid.

Just kidding dude. I was just joking when I said that. I love coding. I'd fuck a node.js program and even let XML lick my balls at the same time.

On the other hand, you can generally complain the longest about the things you know the best.

There's also a "familiarity breeds contempt" angle.
