That's true. Fucking Obama.

Fucking BASIC. That's your benchmark? Retard.

I'm sure you're smarter than Dijkstra, though :^)

I learned BASIC in high school. It's shit

So you as well have learned BASIC, and can sit there in good conscious and not agree that today's method is utter shit? What I meant by my post is this is obscenely overlooked in today's courses, as it gives a better understanding of runtime. If you tell someone with no background that something is a subroutine, imho it lends itself to a heap visual vs a function or worse method.

Is it better to introduce someone who wants to program to check this stuff out? Most def. Unfortunately, the nugeneration completely skips this conventional approach. Just my two cents senpai.

I don't disagree, I just think your "10 years ago" example had a strange choice of languages. I think saying learn assembly, then c, then a lisp, then something else, is a better example of the superiority of prior pedagogical methods.

That's true, I agree with Assembly as well. I say BASIC because it was more accessible and memory was easier then.

Lisp is pretty interesting to recommend but I see the logic and can agree on that too, I think supercollider is cool and it was easy to get to make fruity songs.

*get Lisp I mean.
