If you were teaching a programming course, what language would you teach it in?

- slashnull 12y agoJavaScript for beginners, Haskell for advanced.
- mindcrime 12y agoGroovy here. Just because I know it reasonably well, like it a lot, and it's a convenient part of the overall JVM ecosystem.
- collyw 12y agoPython. Easy stuff is easy. More complex stuff is available. Nowhere near the amount of hacks you need in JavaScript.
- dagw 12y agoDepends on the target audience For people how intend to become computer scientists and/or 'serious' programmers: Haskell For people how are simply looking for a job in programming: C# or JavaScript For people who don't want to become programmers, but just want to use programming to make their life easier: Whatever scripting language their main work application uses, or Python as a good general language
- rdc12 12y agoDepends on if its just an intro to programming course or part of the backbone of a full degree. Either way thou ML appears to be a compelling choice.
