gollark: I tried using it for stuff and I disliked it.
gollark: Haskell is obviously no, Python is quite slow and has different ecosystem problems as well as a remarkable amount of weird inconsistency, JS dependencies break after about 5 months and it's an awful language, Rust is somewhat nice but annoying compared to higher level languages, Clojure is maybe good however Lisp and also Java (well, JVM), and... that's about it?
gollark: OCaml suffers from the same sort of ecosystem problem.
gollark: Thus, I am condemned to eternal suffering and minoteaur will never be finished.
gollark: I'm actually investigating F# as a non-bad language, and while it is in fact an excellent language according to the osmarks.tk™ arbitrary language ratings™, the tooling is æææææÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆæææææÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆææÆÆÆÆæææææÆÆÆÆÆæææ (very heavyweight and annoying) and much of the ecosystem is too "enterprisey".
