Interesting poll. Which programming languages are the most hated?

Perl is #1. Not too surprising. Even before Visual Basic for
Applications. Surprising and funny.

Relevant for TB:Next:

  • CoffeeScript is almost as hated as VBA.
  • JavaScript is one of the least hated / best liked.
  • TypeScript is even more liked than JS.

The study found that programming language trends are strongly related to
their like/dislike rating. Not surprising, but speaks to the truth of
the rating, and the effects.

In other words, expect to see more JS and TypeScript around the world.
It appears that TypeScript might be a popular choice for a typed
JavaScript flavor for TB:Next.
