This is a misnamed article. There is nothing zen about this article. A better title would be “I’m mad that no language is perfect” because that is really the gist of the article. Author has nit-picks with every contemporary computer language. “If only someone would write the one true language, here is why every other language fails to be that, blah blah blah.” Pure opinion piece.


"The only Zen you can find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there." Robert M. Pirsig


“He who makes mountain out of mole hill should open ski resort in Kansas” A. Nonymous :)

Doesn’t everybody? Programming languages are so vast, and designing one involves so many trade-offs. It’s impossible to find one that’s perfect, where you agree with every decision made by the designers.
