It's not just learning a language. It's a tool to allow you to build computer applications. Some people simply aren't interested in building apps, just like some people aren't interested in playing music or throwing/catching a football.
- pinn4242 11y agoWhere did we get to apps? How about just command line? I'm not sure if you create apps for your job, but that's not all of programming. I work on an "app" for my job, but it's a more-or-less vertical. I really don't see how teaching a child some command line or REPL (read execute print loop) stuff threatens my job. Even if that child is in India or something. I'm secure in my own abilities.
- steven2012 11y agoI have no idea what you're talking about.
- fucking_tragedy 11y agoIs knowing any of that necessary in today's world? Command of the English language is needed to function in our society and neglecting to teach a child the subject has obvious lifelong negative repercussions. Most happy and successful people will never care about typing commands into a glorified calculator.
