- schwartzworld 5y agoIf you have programming experience, Lua is a pretty light lift. Forth is small, and learning the basics is very fast. JS is convenient to learn because it's already on your computer in the web browser. I used to work on programs during my downtime at work, then email the files to myself to work on another day.
- account-5 5y agoI am reasonable competent with python, autohotkey (which I like on windows), VBA (handy for ms office related automation), bash (awk, sed, grep mostly), though I'm no developer. I just write scripts to automate my job, and to learn.
- schwartzworld 5y agoIf you can handle python, the others will all be easy. Lua is so small and elegant compared to the clusterfuck of python.
