Java
I hope I get the hang of it soon, sorting without lambdas in this dumpster fire of a language is a huge pain in the ass

Of the "functional" languages out there, Rust is most suited to writing drivers, and it is used for such a purpose in Redox OS.

Why do neither C++ nor Python have argument parsing in their standard libs? Fine, I get that C++ has nothing useful in its std, except a giant mess of template based algorithms. But Python also apparently has like two different ways to parse it and both are terrible and everyone uses an external library.

Back in like the 90s before you had stackoverflow for people to tell you "just use boost", did everyone implement their own option parsing or something?
