Emotionally, I'm with the author, but I need to point out, for balance, that not everything is cancer.
GIT has some weird commands, but even I think it's awesome. (Way better than zip files on a stack of floppies for backup)
I've come to accept UTF8, and UTF32 as worth successors to ASCII
Time travel debugging is going to be awesome, if I ever get to use it.
Portable applications solve a lot of issues, and never need to be installed.
αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε is even better, cross platform done right!
I still love Pascal, and Lazarus (Delphi priced me out) but lots of folks don't have general purpose computers any more, I feel sad for all the folks who have to settle for apps instead of full fledged native desktop programs.
