If language doesn't matter, why do we bother creating them? Why don't we write in machine language? High-level languages are here to make certain things trivial and hence bug-proof. If you have to reinvent the wheel, to handle arbitrary-length strings for example, there's so many more chances at getting things wrong, good programmer or bad programmer.

Many good points Posted Nov 5, 2007 22:04 UTC (Mon) by i3839 (guest, #31386) [Link] Language is a way of communication. If people talk rubbish, it doesn't matter in what language they do it. Sure, some languages are harder than others, so trivial mistakes are made more or less often. But if on the whole it's a pile of rubbish, it stays a pile of trash. You can try to put the blame on the language people use when sprouting garbage, but I don't find that very convincing.
