any language where you cant write anonymous functions is trash. javascript is the best language

wait are classes in python not just objects?

code:

      f = Class.new(::BlankSlate)
      f.reveal :instance_variable_set
      unless f.instance_methods.include? :class
        f.reveal :class
      end
      f.new

i dont get python and ruby folks

i mean if its web stuff just use java?

if its local stuff that has to go fast use c, or maybe c++?

it boggles teh mind

im sure lisp was all very well in the past but in the modern world we can have the best of both worlds. first-class functions and clean, logical syntax (c syntax). javascript is the answer, its what you always wanted from lisp but knew it was lacking, embrace it.

bc everything imaginable has been done in it and you just get to google some stuff, slack off for the rest of the day, and get paid? ppl put way too much effort into the type of programming that doesnt even pay that well

When I went to university, we were not allowed to learn c because it was not yet officially recognized as a computer language by the British computer society. C++ was invented about a year later I think. We were taught pascal. I've never ever used pascal for real or ever seen it outside of academia. I'm sure I've told this story before so thanks for reading. Cheers. Also I am typing this on a blackberry PlayBook and it's very baf

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

the demand for halfway decent devs is so strong out here now that fresh grads are regularly making 100k+ and recruiters are basically going nuts trying to place any talent

what excuse can you possibly come up with

my feeling on math & programming is that if you didn't find at least of of:

* linear algebra
* number theory
* calculus
* discrete math

interesting then you should probably look into a career as a plumber or an electrician or something, because those careers more closely resemble the kind of programming you'll end up doing if you don't like math.

a map is implemented using trees (typically binary)

a dictionary is implemented using hash tables

both a map and a dictionary are associative containers.

there is no such thing as an "associative array".
