... but it's no fun anymore.
Yes it's powerful and such but there's no fun factor.

For me the language that makes me smile now is JavaScript.
It's fun, it's powerful and specially for being a functional/dynamic from it's core.

It needs to be mastered tho, way much more than most developers are even aware of.
It won't give you a hand when you mess up Smile | :)

Happy coding!
