Is it true?

Haskell legacy?

>>60014722
I think so, but i will learn C, don't see the point in learning ASM at this point.

ASM is legacy code, but legacy code is about the only thing that powers the low level backend of the entire finance world, and the original programmers are either dying or retiring, so new blood is needed.

No. ASM is often used when you have to do vectorised stuff that compilers don't handle well, and haskell is used in big production systems, onew of the biggest examples being facebook's whole anti spam infrasteucture

>>60014722
Haskell legacy doesn't exist, since it's barely used outside esoterics.

>>60014722
asm is useful if you want to understand C better / want to use a debuggerc

>>60015011
debugger* that isn't as good the VS one

>>60014975
interesting, never knew FB used haskell

what exactly is vectorised stuff

>>60014722
Not true. Haskell isn't used at all.

>>60015011
This. Not sure about Haskell, although it's useful in the field of maths from what I've heard about it.

>>60016898
This

>>60019057
It's good for learning the functional paradigm

>>60014722
>Haskell are only used in legacy code
lolno hasklel is only used in FP course assignments

>>60014722
Windows 10 is what you get when you stray away from the "legacy code".
Non-"legacy code" is always supported by layers of abstraction. When those fail, nobody knows what to do anymore.

tl;dr If you want to be a coder, just learn high level languages. If you want to be a programmer you will have to bother with C or ASM eventually.

>If you want to be a programmer you will have to bother with C or ASM eventually.

I am bothering with both now, but my soul appears to be disintegrating

why those two btw? How does it help with being a better programmer?

>>60019376
>why does learning more programming help with learning more programming?
ASM because it's a family of languages that will teach you what a CPU actually does.

C because it ties high-level programming concepts with very simple implementations that makes it easy to see how those high-level concepts typically map to low-level ASM, and simply because it's so widely used that you will inevitably interact with it, either directly through reading/writing C code or indirectly through interfacing with libraries/programs written in C.

>>60019611
seems reasonable, whats are good books for those two?

I've got Kernighans C book and Irvine's ASM textbook

>>60019647
not that poster, but I wouldn't bother with a book, most interesting way in my opinion would be to write C programs and then disassemble them. personally I think starting by searching for some buffer overflow attack challenges online would be cool

>>60019694
I need to know how to use C first, even if I know C++ already
