The machine being used is completely incidental to programming. Dijkstra used a fountain pen.
Which is more fundamental, the machine, or its mathematical abstraction? Why should people learn C, and not Lisp?
- eternalban 8y agoI wonder if Dijkstra used paper clips or rubber bands for "linking". (CS =/= Programming)
- canhascodez 8y agoPerhaps you could do me the favor of answering my question.
- eternalban 8y agoWhy should I bother with a red herring? We were discussing programming and not computer science.
- canhascodez 8y agoWhy teach C and not Lisp?
