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

I want to try to finally, actually start spending some focused time learning programming.
My problem is that I really struggle to do anything on my own.
I literally go from "I hate the universe" to "I love everything and everyone" after just spending half an hour having tea with someone.
I'm that dependent on social structure. That's why I absolutely loved working on a team back when I had a normal job in I.T. But I'm not sure those really exist anymore. :/I'm one of the rare people that does not do well working from home, and for someone who is supposedly neurospicy, I don't like working on my own at all.
-
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.

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.

@rl_dane @clayton @orbitalmartian @ivanmarkov @amin @kabel42 00
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.
