>java

don't use that shit

C + Go + JavaScript is literally all you need. Do mostly everything in Go, and use C for high performance part. Javascript will be useful for integrating your program with web.

First rule, ignore everyone who don't try to encourage to keep learning what you are learning. Like >>59783169

Java is fine if there is a reason you like it, or you want to do some android apps and cross platform.. that being said Java syntax hurts my feelers.

Find some project you want to accomplish, AND STICK TO IT UNTIL IS FINISHED.

These people are right

Google is your best friend when learning, there are so many free resources / video series online it's great.

My only advice is for the love of god don't take advice from /g/, most anons will just try to troll you or give you bs advice since everyone has different opinions here.

Good luck!

Java is perfectly fine. Its fast, portable and has lots of libraries to accelerate development.
Dont listen to Go, Rust and C fags. They're trying to fool you into their meme language. Java in combination with C++ for extremely high performance modules destroy everything else in terms of functionality, versatility and speed.

C is not a meme language.

>>59783525
If you use it for anything other than MCUs then it is.

Don't listen to the Debbie downers, learn java its a good language. Also you'll learn oop, and ur basically set to learn any other language.

Why the FUCK is there no preprocessor for Java!?

this. embedded systems use C.
(but when were talking about PC...)

Use the Jetbrains Idea IDE. Eclipse is out of date. Vim is not good for people just starting out.

When the compiler gives you a ton of error messages, fix the *first* error, then compile again. Errors tend to cascade and fixing the first fixes the rest.

Don't worry about design patterns or fancy frameworks until you have a mastery of the basics.

Don't burn yourself out. You cant learn everything in one week. If you're feeling overwhelmed, go to bed and come back to it tomorrow.

>Java is fine

It's fine if you don't care about performance, don't mind mile long class hierarchies and logic nested so deep the indentation is thicker than you're neck, and only want to maintain legacy spaghetti code for a shitty company that you will never have the chance to move up in.

Still, Java is more performant than Python, C#, JavaScript.

Only sometimes.
>C#,
No.
>JavaScript.
No.

Time at code competition sites has dispelled any myths I formerly believed about Java. Java is fucking slow. Python is a wild card because sometimes it's slow as fuck, but sometimes it's not too bad. If I were to rank the languages based on what I've seen over the past 6 months, fastest to slowest...

C
C++
C#/VB.NET*
Python using PyPy**
JavaScript
Java
Python**
Shit like Scala, Haskell

* inb4 "hurr durr VB." VB.NET compiles to the same intermediate code linked against the same framework as C#.
** Python is a real wild card. I've seen a couple instances where only C was faster. But those are my rankings based on the average case.

To give an idea of scale with C as the baseline, I've seen the exact same algorithm take...

8x longer in C#
16x longer in JavaScript
86x longer in Java

Java is slowpoke.
