You start by learning how to do math on paper before being given a calculator.
- exposition 4y agoI don’t think that analogy is accurate. Python and Ruby capture the essence of programming- they still require one to think logically and structure problems in precise computational language. Yes, they do operate further from the underlying hardware- but as a beginner, this isn’t really important. Once you’ve grasped the basics, languages like C become a lot more accessible and you can better appreciate what the higher level languages do for you. I guess it’s personal preference at the end of the day.
