My answer is way too many choices.<p>I have a problem with systems that let you do one thing in several ways instead of one way. In such a system you tend to use the wrong way for your specific solution. For instance, if there are 5 solutions for you to solve one problem it means you have to check all 5 ways to discover which one is best suited and most efficient. This is not a problem in small problem solving tasks, however when your system grows, this becomes a burdon and a nagging feeling wheter or not you chose the right solution.<p>I love C as language but dislike it&#x27;s toolchain because of what I explained above here, it&#x27;s also why I dislike C++ as whole and many others like Java, Python, Ruby and so on. Too many ways to solve the same thing.<p>At this moment I feel at home in Golang, it has a nice and simple toolchain and not too many complications in the language itself.
