Mine is that the useState hook is an actual plague on the entire React ecosystem. Regardless of your opinions of React, if you wanna use something then use it right.

It’s a bit of a kitchen sink language now. I haven’t used it professionally in quite a while but using it for Godot (anything but gdscript) has me scratching my head over some of the architectural decisions. It seems to be led by „if people do a certain form often enough, add a shorthand to the language“, which is one way of cutting boilerplate, but does lead to something very hard-to-parse if you’re not familiar with it.
Heey Godot for the win! And yeah no gdscript please!
C# is like a script language wanting to be a C++ contender (let's switch everything around to show how different we are, sigh).
They do have one thing right though, true & false aren't True or TRUE etc. But man all the new() whatever all the time 😓.
public int A {get; private set;} = 0;
Beautiful eh 😐
