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.
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.
