I feel it gives a good tradeoff between:
- typed languages that are too low level to start (C/C++)
- scripting languages that are high level, not typed, and therefore do a lot of things under the hood (Python, Ruby, Javascript)
- mratzloff 14y agoThis is a reasonable view, but I want to point out that Python and Ruby are strictly typed, just not statically typed. You must still understand primitive types and casting, in contrast to JavaScript or PHP, which are both loosely and dynamically typed (a frequently dangerous combination).
