A lot of people want to make badly designed programming languages easier to use by giving them fancy IDE’s. This makes sense if you are forced to use a badly designed language. I think it would be better to try making well designed languages instead.
James Moen

Geoffrey James
The Tao gave birth to machine language. Machine language gave birth to the assembler. The assembler gave birth to the compiler. Now there are ten thousand languages. Each language has its purpose, however humble. Each language expresses the Yin and Yang of software. Each language has its place within the Tao. But do not program in COBOL if you can avoid it.
Geoffrey James, The Tao of Programming
