I would've hoped someone of Feynman's level would've easily picked up a better language.

I would've hoped someone of Feynman's level would've easily picked up a better language.
- gliese1337 14y agoSomeone like Feynman is capable of inventing a new language for parallel computing and correctly simulating its execution by hand. That's a much more impressive skill than just learning another language.
- AceJohnny2 14y agoI don't think so. He didn't invent a new language, but extended an existing one. And I simulate what a program does in my head all the time when debugging (including multithreaded stuff, but I agree that's hard).
- anywhichway 14y agoFeynman may have found the arbitrary nature of syntax for a new language a tedious learning exercise.
