Found this gem. A single well made video in a channel. The Channel owner probably made this channel just to house one video I guess.

I havent watched it all the way through but it seems to have alot of substance. By the looks of it the guy probably has spent atleast a year developing professionally in C++ and is pretty pissed to make that video as a ventfest

See if you cant agree with something he said

    Go try using Salesforce’s bastardized version of old Java (Apex) if you want to experience a truly unpleasant language.

    I have. I like it more than JS as a language.

    I just fucking hate the fact that it’s basically useless outside of salesforce; no one gives a fuck if you can code in apex except for people that need you to program some useless shit in salesforce

        … I’m a polyglot[1] . I fucking hate working on salesforce, but I prefer languages that work like Apex/Java/C++ over things that work like JS.

        [1]: Let’s see :

        • Javascript
        • Actionscript
        • Python
        • Bash
        • C++
        • C#
        • Java
        • Apex

          Apex doesn’t have namespaces. It doesn’t even let your organize your classes into subfolders. It is an absolute F-Tier language.

          Try TypeScript, try React, try Go / Swift / Kotlin, spend more time with C#.

            Apex doesn’t have namespaces.

            Why do you need namespaces? Apex has a singular purpose on a single platform.

              If Apex had a “singular” purpose then they wouldn’t have built it as a turing complete generalized programming language.

              And the reason you need namespaces is for basic code organization. Classes organize functional objects with a module of code, namespaces let you’re break code into modules.

              If you have two distinct modules of code, each with their own logger class you suddenly have a confusing naming conflict with both loggers being exposed everywhere (or forced you to rename one).

              So then it forces you to try and name your classes like RenderingLogger or Service_Logger and then you very quickly run into the fact that Apex imposes arbitrary length limits on class names.

              If you’re writing a simple db access script then whatever, it can get the job (worse then other languages but it can). If you’re actually trying to build a proper application like you publish on AppExhange then it’s shortcomings become apparent everywhere.

              Hell it didn’t have a reasonable unit testing framework until a side project from some devs introduced Apex Mockery, and it still sucks compared to Mockito and actual professional testing frameworks.
