idk i'm trying to pick and choose my time

i've had school taking up time. i have to get some sort of job this summer; it's gonna be some retail thing, i've got actual projects i want to do (things in javascript, because that's what i know). so that leaves like not a lot of pure learning time

i'd like to learn c, or maybe lisp, but i don't have anything i'm working on that would really benefit from another language, or any projects i want to start that could use another language.

and plus there's so much more poo poo i have to learn besides just languages. i want to learn redis (not that there's much to learn), mongodb, oh, also how to better-use actual SQL dbs, some basic devops stuff (migrations, deploys, etc). i'd like to learn how to do concurrent programming, wanna play around with functional languages, etc., etc.

oh and i also really need to learn mobile web development. maybe even like iphone app development.

so i have to pick and choose. right now i'm doing emberjs stuff because it's an undeveloped ecosystem where i have a chance to really contribute, i'm pretty good at javascript, and a project i'm working on needed a js mvc framework and i found emberjs easier to get started with than backbonejs.


cool i really like how not only did i mention that libraries exist to mitigate callback hell/spaghetti code, i also namedropped a specific one, and yet you still used this as a point :)

learn c. Seriously. Then make something with it. You probably won't use it ever again, but it will be good for you. Builds character.

how is "spaghetti code" in js a bigger issue than it is in any other language
javascript was a language originally written for people too stupid to handle java, and it was never designed or suited for any problem larger than making glittery mouse trails on geocities guestbooks

the "rise" of poo poo like node.js is actually just a bunch of incompetent wanna-bes who flunked out of cs103 because pointers were "like, too hard, man", standing in a circle jerking off onto a portrait of DHH

i don't get why you're so angry about javascript. it's not like it's php; it's a language with some quirks but is at least relatively consistent*

my excuse for not moving there yet is I am graduating this year and since I have a fulltime dev job for the university I can stay here and get a masters for $0.00 (actually I have to pay fees but no tuition).

I'm not sure if im actually going to stick around here long enough for that or not though.

hey remember when this thread was about programming languages

Code doesn't need to launch, it just needs to be good. If you are embarrassed by your code then it's not good enough. Your portfolio needs to contain code that you are proud of. That you can talk enthusiastically about. Thanks playbook for fucing with my sentence structure cheers
