It's not inappropriate, it's just never a better choice than languages that are actually used, because then everyone who learns can say "I know X". I know Forth

It's not inappropriate, it's just never a better choice than languages that are actually used, because then everyone who learns can say "I know X". I know Forth really well but I don't put it on my CV, even though I work in probably the main sector it's still used (embedded).
- bmitc 4y agoI personally find this situation unfortunate. It returns us back to learning subverting requiring that something to be “useful” for some arbitrary definition of useful. It’s the same story of the failure of trying to make mathematics or philosophy or whatever appear “useful” or “practical” to students. It doesn’t work because the point of learning is not to directly get you a job or put something n your resume or be “useful”.
