Obviously you wouldn't spend too much time on any specific obsolete language, but would that be worthwhile? --- My sister's dog bit a hole in my Super Mario Land cartridge.

This will prep you for both lower languages like Assembly and higher level languages like Java, as well as giving you well rounded syntax knowledge. --- It wasnt a lie, it was ineptitude with insufficient cover. ~ Donald Draper <cite>TwigsthePnoDude posted [p:927385144] in Would lear...

treewojima 09/13/19 12:40:23 PM #6:	Not really, unless you're a language buff or a fan of computer history. Languages like COBOL are tedious, and others like APL are downright frightening. Smalltalk is fun, but I can't really find a use for it. Even ancient languages that have stuck around like Lisp, C and Fortran have changed quite a bit since the early days, mostly in terms of quality of life if that makes sense (try programming in the original K&R style of C, you'll see what I mean). And then there's all the different assembly languages for all the different minicomputer architectures, or more business-oriented stuff like RPG and JPL for IBM mainframes... yeeeeah, have fun with that lol <cite>treewojima posted [p:927385204] in Would lear...

Notti 09/13/19 1:31:54 PM #7:	I'd start with a higher level human centric language, then work on middle languages like C++, then go to Assembly if you want. And then, if you want to see the languages in historic context, learn the older ones. Starting with ancient languages seems almost totally backwards for learning. You can learn about the structure of languages and how they influenced each other after. --- https://youtube.com/TheYoungTurks http://RightWingWatch.org/ https://DemocraticUnderground.com/?com=latest_threads https://reddit.com/r/The_Mueller/new <cite>Notti posted [p:927387365] in Would lear...
