I feel you, I really do. A similar thing happened to me with Java.

I honestly disapprove of Java as a language, it's simple so I can write it, but find no joy in it whatsoever. Not once have I mentioned Java on my LinkedIn, CV, or in person.

Every company I've worked for, I had to write Java. Sometimes it's their backend, and I'm their frontend guy and get assigned end-to-end tasks. Sometimes it's more obscure, like an Android app (hey, you're the frontend person, and Android apps have frontend!)

In my current company I seem to have broken the Javacurse by moving into a low managerial role, so now I can assign the tasks I hate to people less offended by this nonsense.
