Planning to have my first work day of my year as a full-time writer this coming Monday.

Hmmmm. Maybe you could find a small group of people to learn together with?
-
No idea how to do that. I even thought about taking out a craigslist ad "come study with me!" but I can forsee that leading to a lot of sundry awkwardness XD

lol a fact for which I am particularly thankful!
Wanna learn C???? :D

P.S. aaaand now [Modern Love] is playing through my head, again. Unironically thank you, David Bowie.

I already know C! I'd love to learn more though ;p so sure. Let's make a signal group chat?
-
What about Matrix? It can be a little more annoying to get working, but the client options are way better than Signal.

@rl_dane I keep trying to learn programming languages. Never had much success.

@orbitalmartian @rl_dane @ivanmarkov @amin @kabel42 @pixx
I’m sure I could benefit from the structure of C but would probably benefit more from another programming language.
I do so much in Python and Powershell. Something like Go would probably be better for me. -

Hate google, but I gotta respect #Issue9 (golang)'s heritage, with Kernighan and Pike involved.
Hare also looks like an interesting language.
Rust is way too popular. I default to distrust. XD -
@rl_dane @clayton @orbitalmartian @ivanmarkov @amin @kabel42
Go is really good IMO. I was more hesitant with it a few years ago, but after using it regularly for years I've come around. There's a _lot_ it gets _very_ right. Moreso than almost any other language I've used.

Rust has a lot of good goals, IMO. I simply don't think it's a very well-designed language. "Designed" is maybe giving them too much credit, frankly.

Rust hurts my brain

@ivanmarkov @amin @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
I have a hard time seeing functional languages as "low-level." I think it's a high level language masquerading as a low-level language by brute force, and that force is seen when you try to compile something. XD

@ivanmarkov @amin @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
A language can be a systems programming language and also high-level. Heck, C was considered high-level when I was a young-un. XD
Being a low-level language isn't about speed or usability, but the level of abstraction. I don't know much about rust, but it does seem to provide a reasonably high level of abstraction, while still producing quite optimized object code.

@rl_dane @ivanmarkov @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
It's a high-level language when boomers look at it and a low-level one when zoomers look at it. Like quantum particles, it depends on the observer.
