If it allows for zone transfers, it's far from useless

It only returns "not implemented" so it's useless.

I can make an overly commented dns server too

// import an important library for standard input and output
#include <stdio.h>
// lets initialize our main function here. it should output a 0 when it finishes running
int main ()
{ // this is an opening parenthesis
// hurr, this implements dns protocol but only returns "not implemented"
printf ("not implemented"); 
return(0); // be sure to return a 0!
} // this closes our main function

Ok, show us how this returns NOTIMP when you query it with dig.

It's sad how the most gifted programmers waste their time reimplementing the same shit over and over again in whatever meme language is in vogue at the time.

You won't live forever you know.

Gifted programmers become talented and learn protocols by implementing it themselves from scratch. This is what differentiates a rock star programmer from some visual basic office-cubicle plebeian.

It is a waste of time is to write useful programs on bad languages, because they later have to be abandoned to be rewritten by smarter programmers.

Most programmers, even good ones, do not have the science to understand what makes a good language and what doesn't.

Language design should not be the task of engineers. Scientists should be designers, and engineers the implementors. Then we wouldn't have bad languages, and there wouldn't be need to reimplement.
