I’ve been coding since 1982 and the last 30 years professionally and my credo is. I’ve been writing the same programs for the last 40 years. The only thing different is the language or the paradigm. All the rest is the same.

[@CallousCoder]

@@ccriztoff ugghh golang is slow and bulky. C++ for the win and if you want something new than rust. It’s faster, more compact and more equipped to do both application development (go domain) and systems software (C/C++ domain). And the rust package manager and test framework are simply the best out there. Super robust and easy to use. I had rust building and deploying in CI/CD pipeline in less than 30 minutes. And that includes actually installing rust on whatever build agent (Linux, windows and macOS) and it all worked with one line of code. And since it produces a single static binary it’s easy to containerize. Link go statically is a bit of a hassle. But rest services in go is easy and convenient.

[@whiteobama3032]

I learned programming on C and C++ and I got to say they're pretty great to begin with to fundamentally understand the flow of the software and memory menagment.

[@gabrielmourao2854]

Yes, my university also still does this approach. You start only with c until you can make simple terminal based programs, using pointers and structs. Then we go to java for OO languages, and apply everything we learn on it (handmade sorting algorithms and data structures) on c later. At this point you can use both languages with or without objects, learn memory management and all the basics of programming, and also learn to evaluate efficient algorithms, so you could technically go anywhere from there. Imo this route is the most begginer friendly because you really learn how to code rather than depend on specific languages libraries or built in functionalities

In my university, the first programming language they teach us is C, followed by C++ and then moving on to assigning us projects (e.g. Artificial Intelligence, if you choose to take this subject later on) requiring knowledge of Python without actually spending time to teach us this language at that point. C is a very good beginner language because, like it was stated in the video, it's the language without which, a lot of the "big" ones in the industry now wouldn't exist. Edit: They also teach us Assembly in the 1st year for the mandatory subject "Computer Architecture I" which as you can imagine is a pain in the ass...

[@dacypher22]

To anyone trying to learn programming from the beginning, my best advice is to just pick a language that you like at first glance. Stop stressing over what language you need to start with, because the most important skill of all is to begin to think like a programmer. You will never have as much of a challenge learning a language as you do your first one. And no specific language is going to make it that much easier because you are training your brain to think in a way that is fairly alien to the way most of us go about our day to day lives. But once it *clicks* and you begin to think like a programmer, you can pick up and become functional in another language in a week or sometimes even just a weekend. You just need to first get used to breaking problems down and solving them with basic yes/no questions and then you are on your way

[@olivierdulac]

That is excellent advice.

All of these answers feel like slander so i fully on board with slandering all of the languages. (Although personally i like C++ and Java and really dislike Python due to a bad first experience with it. But my brain also just seems wired for object oriented coding so not having classes and inheritance hurts, and being forced to think at a hardware level is not fun. Fortunately i am an EE not a CompE or Software major so i get to learn the interesting concepts and not do the painful stuff like actually using Assembly)

Some IDEs also like to fuck with your code if you don't change the default options. Almost failed one of my earliest programming assignments because Visual Studio compiled my code with a dependency on a Microsoft redistributable (which of course wasn't there on the Linux grading server). My jaw hit the floor and I was like, "So how am I supposed to compile and submit my code!??!" to the TA, because some of them had recommended Visual Studio. I did manage to find the option and get to compile without needing that dependency, but it was just such an incredibly stupid default that that day I went to writing my code on Linux and never went back.

I started to take C++ seriously in around 2018 or so. It took me 2 or so years to get decent at the language. But honestly, i don’t regret it at all. It’s by far the most powerful language. It might not be the most profitable one, but I’m too deep now to care about money lol

[@deviousraul]

I've seen a lot of job opportunities requiring C++ lately around here, i'm starting to think i should study that as my first programming language. But a question: when you say "the most powerful language", why exactly is that?

[@poopingnuts]

@@deviousraul I know programming languages are arbitrary in terms of “power”. However, I mean that low level languages, such as C++, provide more control over the software. Depending of the skills of the programmer, something written in c++ can run vastly faster than any other high level language, such as Python. The only catch is that c++ is harder to learn and master. But in my opinion, c++ gets the best of it.

[@deviousraul]

[@AMildCaseOfCovid]

Totally agree. I got serious about C++ during the covid downtime. ChatGPT has been a godsend for learning new concepts quickly and tackling projects that seemed too obscure previously. Javidx9's tetris-from-the-command-prompt tutorial was all I needed to get started

What he says about Cobol is totally correct, it's the reason my university started teaching Cobol again (demand for devs from corporations).

One thing is for sure though, usage of Cobol is declining, and will continue to decline, because it's a terrible language and no one in their right mind is using it for new projects. So even if all we do is educate enough people to maintain a constant supply of Cobol engineers, it's a career that's doomed for a decline in salary since the demand will always be declining. It's only a smart career choice if the decline in supply outpaces the decline in demand, which is a risky bet, since a lot of financial systems are being rewritten from scratch.

Then go have a look at lisp & haskell, and into prolog, to see 2 fundamentally different aporoachea ro programming [99% of the list is similar, but functionnal, and logixal, programming will open up perspective and show ways to do beautiful things, and much closer to the data and the subject matter, and far from the "side ways" of syntax and oop.

7:25 C still the perfect language for embedded devices. Still millions of lines of code written in C by firmware engineers for the foundation of every IoT device and microprocessor based system (basically every device we have today). So I think embedded C should be nearly at the bottom of the iceberg, because to be able to write a peripheral driver for a 32 bit uC system from only the datasheet of the given uC, the engineer has to be familiar with the assembly and machine code of the given uC.

[@jan.tichavsky]

Not to mention entire hardware architectures are designed and optimized to run C programs. Writing assembly is cool for simple 8 bit microcontrollers but once you reach higher complexity it's about C and using manufacturers drivers. Nowadays we are moving higher up towards Micropython, like for Raspberry Pico, which is fine for simple, slower undemanding stuff. For the rest you need C code.

If you dive in and actually make a program all those questions will show their answers... just make something!

I remember when I started coding in Python I struggled real hard. Not only with the thinking process but with the fact that the language takes a lot of stuff for granted that I didn't. I started with Pascal in school and wondered that I didn't need to declare variables, had no idea what variable type I had each time - I thought in a way too complicated for the language. Still my problem. I often say I do quantum computing because I am too stupid to understand how normal computers work. With understand I mean understand each level and layer. Modern computers are way too complex. A good friend once told me that he sucks at coding as well. He is one of the best hackers in my home country and suffers from the same issues I do. What I still don't get is object orientated programming though.
