I know the moment you learned about the existance of Haskell you went ape-shit over it, and that's fine.
I watched those few videos you sent me, or maybe I just googled them; Either way. The professor explaining stuff was very intruiging.
I watched like three or so hours of that before I decided: I don't like the idea of trying to learn 30 languages simutainously when I have one that works fine.




I used to be a star-gazer for a while, before they took off "The Star Gazer" from PBS in 1998 or when-ever it was.




Yes, it was 'douchey' to say, anyway you look at it.
I in no way said Pong was a good program or written excellent by any means. It was rather trashy and old.
I may/may not PM you later, time will tell. I don't consider you or anybody else an "expert" on anything - we all know stuff, that's about it. I'm agnostic when it comes to programming.


I have no idea whether or not I've just been insulted but sure. If you'd like a non-flamefilled discussion about programming, linux and OO, especially in Java feel free to PM me. You too, Rain, we haven't talked in a while and I'm mildly interested in what you've been doing with Clojure.

Quote (The Pragmatic Programmer)
Learn at least one new language every year.  Different languages solve the same problems in different ways.  By learning several different approaches, you can help broaden your thinking and avoid getting stuck in a rut.  Additionally, learning many languages is far easier now, thanks to the wealth of freely available software on the Internet.

I know about 20 languages well. Now is a better time than ever to start! Learn at least one language from the main methods of description: imperative (C, Java, VisualBASIC, ...) and declarative (SQL, PROLOG, ...). Learn one of the main imperative subtypes: class- (Java, C++, C#, ...) and prototype-based (Javascript, Cecil, ...) object-oriented programming and procedural (C, Algol, ...). And for God's sake, learn at least one Lisp dialect. I'm not joking about this, it is one of those languages that will just make you a better programmer. Also, learn an ML variant, like OCaml or F# -- they just make you think differently.

There are so many ways to do things: Agent-oriented, Component-based (Flow-based, Pipeline), Concurrent computing, Declarative, Functional, Dataflow (Cell-oriented, Reactive), Goal-directed, Constraint, Constraint logic, Logic (Abductive, Inductive), Feature-oriented, Function-level, Imperative (Aspect, Subject), Automata-based, Object-oriented (Class and Prototype), Procedural, Structured, Role-oriented, Iterative,Attribute-oriented, Policy-based metaprogramming, Language-oriented, Reflective, Nondeterministic, Process-oriented, Recursive, Tree

Linus Torvalds is an expert. Jim Blinn is an expert. Donald Knuth is an expert. John Carmack is an expert. Yes, there are experts in every field, and computer science is not excluded.

Unf, another tl;dr

I put all my code in one file if possible.

I'm not even sure what that means. I mean, I try to be platform-agnostic...but agnostic programming? I suppose that means when she starts programming, she ceases to care of the existence of a higher power. An odd statement.

It just things easier than having to open like a billion files to view your application's source.
