Students, and others in this industry in general, tend to make such a big deal about using the latest hyped languages. I think too much so. It's "impressive," I guess. Having a foundation in computer science means you understand that most of the concepts in these "new" languages have been well worn since the 60s, just packaged in new ways, incremental improvements. There's also something to be said, in my view, for Turing completeness. This is not anything about your story, just a related tangent.
- Arelius 14y agoI love the serious response to a comment posed as a joke due to the poor capitalization of the original title. So much so that I feel on the fence about even pointing it out.
- dinkumthinkum 14y agoWell, nerds can find interesting discussions in almost anything. :)
