My language to do list
From
Deavmi@VERT/KK4QBN to
DOVE-Net.Programming on Wednesday, March 22, 2017 19:07:56
I thought it would be a good idea to put toghether a to-do ist of
languages to learn.
For me I think starting at an easy high-level language like Java or
Python is the way to go and then you work your way down to lower level
languages.
This is my hierachy of order in which I want to learn them:
- Java
- Python
- D
- C++
- C
- Put Free Pascal in here cause why not (I looks nice and I have played
around with it)
I find the last two can be interchangeable. I would probably do C first
then CPP to understand the core of C++ (I know they are different
languages but still).
For me I feel like that is a good list. I think D could have Nim go
alongside with it but D for me is the better choice as of now.
Anyway, I am going to be busy doing a lot of computer sciency stuff this
holiday and that starts with Java - then through the years I will get to
the others (Python and D can be done this year as well as I know Python
pretty well and D is really simple).

The reason I mention Free Pascal and even C is because I like old
languages (C is useful though) but I'd like to learn Pascal and see and
do things how they did back in the day. Plus, it isn't actually useless.

For me, it isn't more of languages, but frameworks and stacks. As far as
langiages go:
- FreeBASIC
- Ruby
- Visual Basic (catch up)
- C++
Can't you tell that I have a soft spot for BASIC dialects? :)
Now, as far as frameworks and stacks goes:
- Docker
- MEAN
I have an idea for my first containerized microservice, but the lack of time
prevents me from actually working on it. Also, it only fills a special niche
that I can only see maybe one or two other people who could use it.

My interests are languages themself. I want to be a language designer and also
work on Internet protocols. Therefore I'd so my language choice above is great.
Maybe I will try out Common Lisp oneday but it isn't a must.

Pascal still has a special place in my hart, having work with it so many
years, with Lazarus (
http://www.lazarus-ide.or. ) you get a free
multi-platform devellopement environement that enable you to write code and
port it easily on multi platform .
But honestly it might have lost a lot of traction.
Myself I'm considering swift for my next project since now it's been open
sourced by apple and IBM is porting it to cloud applications. And it's fast.
Just my 2 cents

What about D? Nim? (I just don't really want to get involved with Swift,
not that I have anything against it but I like other languages).

My Pascal goes back to the days of DOS and Turbo Pascal. Actually, no, back to
TP3 on CP/M. :) I have a soft spot for Pascal as well, and the path of least
resistance for me will be relearning Pascal using FPC/Lazarus.

Remember Lisp from the day I was develloping tool for autocad. That was fun I
like working with stack.

Hear of D not familiar with nim. Will check.
For someone who want to learn a pure object oriented language smallTalk is a
good place to look to. The concept you lean there is usefull when you go to
other OO language like java, c# etc.
In the period I was using, smallTalk was written like 90% in smallTalk.
something like :
1 + 2
is actually interpreted as something like this:
An object of the type number with the property of 1 is sent a message called
"+" ( you can see it as a method ) passing as a parameter an object of type
number with the property of 2
in smallTalk everything is either an object or a message to it.

Wow. I believed that turbo pascal was a dos only product. It was in cp/m too!

Yes, TP 3 was the last version available for CP/M I used it on both the Apple

Maybe oneday I will take Smalltalk for a spin. Seems like a good llanguage to
learn to learn how objects pass messages to each other, not that I know much
about that.

One must have both natively compiled languages (D) and interpreted
languages (Java and Python). That's how I and I know a lot of others feel.

Java is compiled, not interpreted. However Java does use a sort of virtual
machine, which allows you to run compiled Java code on any platform.

It is compiled but not to code that can run on a CPU (machine code) -
unless you have a high-level architecture which is uncommon in consumer
CPUs.
The compiled code, Java's bytecode, runs in a virtual machine that
interprets that code.
Compare this to C where C does not generate bytecode but rather machine
code for a specific platform and executes that (on the CPU).

The HVM or Python runtime are the interpreters for this Bytecode.

Perhaps that's more transparent than it is with Java? Typically with Python,
there is no specific 'compile' step as there is with Java - When I've worked
with Java, the typical use is that you run the Python code directly with the
Python interpreter.

Hmmm... I'm wondering if this is becoming the norm now with langages. I know
that .NET is similar, but it's called, "MSIL", not bytecode; and it's not a VM,
but a CLR.

I'd say it is transparent.
I am aware it is not so with Java as one must invoke the compiler,
javac, `javac hello.java` to generate the bytecode file in the form of a
`.class` file and then this bytecode can be given to the VM/interpreter
via `java hello` (which uses the `.class` file).

In the end it is all a runtime. An interpreter. Something that runs the
"bytecode" or whatever you want to call it.
It makes sense to call it a VM some times as the JVM, uses bytecode
which is an instruction set (not one that runs on CPUs as machine code,
unless it is that Java CPU I talked about earlier, but that is out of
this conversation) and therefore a machine can run the instructions
coded in this instruction set hence the JVM.
I just call it an interpreter or whatever.

CLR is using CIL code which is Bytecode.
