Despite Dijkstra's famous judgement in 1975, "It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration",[11] BASIC was one of the few languages that was both high-level enough to be usable by those without training and small enough to fit into the microcomputers of the day, making it the de facto standard programming language on early microcomputers.

echinopsis posted:maybe basic is to blame for the rest of my brain issues honestly it was a fine language for kids, it’s not permanent brain damage territory. the only exception is Visual Basic’s OnError ResumeNext, which taught people to just plow through any garbage code that didn’t work. disclaimer: I started with basic on the commodore, trs40, and Apple II

the worst was when they decided that Java was a great teaching language. "Ok guys everything is an object. Except for primitives. Oh and strings are objects even though we treat them like primitives" "Ok there's no operator overloading except for when there is."

Used quadratic eq for a parabola. I was 14 so it took forever and never really worked right but it was close enough and thanfully the most complicated thing I ever did in visual basic. I'm sure python has made me a terrible programmer (edit: more realsitically I was already a terrible programmer and it hasn't forced me to improve) but reading other people's python is easy so I like working in it. Maybe I'm just glad I don't have to read other people's javascript anymore.

I started to learn to code about a year ago and i started with javascript, now i moved to c++ basics and i still cant do poo poo, i am terrible computer toucher and i wish i could have enthusiasm to actually have fun with writing programs, any suggestions what could i do that would be entertaining? Right now it all seems like a chore.
