Excerpt of languages compared in this book

C: Tricky language because it is so powerful

C++: extremely powerful but it's also easy to blow your foot off

JavaScript: doesn't seem to want to die

Perl: The Swiss Army chainsaw of scripting languages

PHP: feels a bit dirty / has many dark alleys to get lost in

Obj-C: very high learning curve, and it's quite verbose to do even the most simple thing

Swift: [Author had no experience]
