What do you think of Kotlin? Looks pretty cool

>>57970650
It is not enough to introduce a language

>>57969923
get the app sololearn to start a language

>>57969923
What website is that.
Any of you tried it and recommend it?

Depends what you would like to do... If you want to be able to understand a lot about how computers / software, etc work you should maybe start with assembly and c? If you'd just like to program games or little apps you are better off with something not as complex e.g. python, java, etc... Also you should inform yourself about the language you would like to learn to find out what would fit YOU best - object oriented, etc

I don't know... I just like how pretty some code looks. And also I want to impress bitches.

>>57973299
depends on where you wanna take your career desu, are you any good at math/stats?

C, FORTRAN, IDL, maybe julia if you are a beta numale

If you want to go for a JVM language, at least go for Scala.

>>57972471
>impress bitches
So learn assembly.

>>57969923
Ruby. https://poignant.guide

And what website is that?

Python.
>very popular
>plenty of tutorials and support
>both web and multipurpose

>extremely useful

Scala = boilerplate.

>>57972471
you do not impress bitches by code... not even geek bitches... :)

>>57969923
I would say common lisp or scheme, I honestly don't believe in the python first meme.
All these books are a great introduction to programming.

Good books : SICP, Little Schemer,Land of Lisp, Practical common Lisp.
After Lisp? Pick whatever you like.

This. Learn Racket. http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/HtDP2e/

Erlang

I'm new to programming /g/ and don't know which language i should learn first.

First reply is what i will learn not matter what it is.

>>57979266
Python

>>57979266
>>57979270

Anon was being kind to you as it's likely the easiest language to learn where you quickly can do something useful.

This course is a great into to Python, https://www.udacity.com/course/intro-to-computer-science--cs101

>>57979270
Thanks, thats better than i could have hoped for

>>57979283
Thank you too

>>57979266
Scheme,racket,common lisp see

>Cares about how pretty the code looks
>Wants to impress bitches.

I suggest you just go on one of those websites that you click the keyboard and it types lines of code for you. Also, people who cares about these things are rarely able to program something other than fizzbuzz.

>>57979444
The readability of the codes is important. What did you mean by that?

>>57979444
How the code looks is important but not at first when learning desu

>>57970650
>Cнимoк
Why don't you fuck off

>>57969923
>What language should I learn?
ENGLISH!

>>57969923
C

C to get a basic understanding of low-level stuff.
Python because it's a very useful and versatile scripting language.
Haskell as an introduction to functional programming

Then it depends of what you want to do :
- JavaScript and SQL are a must for web dev
- C++ is ubiquitous for desktop software
- Java for Android dev, Swift for iOS
- Shell for Unix scripting
- Clojure and Rust for more functional programming cred

i don't mean to hijack the thread, but i already know C++

or atleast the fundamentals of using it and its OOP properties

>w-what now

I don't know what to use it for besides random terminal programs

>>57969923
There is one good programming language in existence and it's called Haskell. Once you have seen the cathedrals of true functionality, you won't consider looking back.

>>57981907
What do you want to do ?
I guess what you need now is to learn some theory and libraries that can help you build something you want.

>>57982120

I've always wanted to learn to make demos like oldschool demoscene people do, maybe with openGL
