What's your favorite non-C-family programming language?
(My definition of "C family" is broad and includes languages like Lua, Python, JavaScript, Rust, and Swift, not just languages explicitly based on C or with very similar syntax.)
I keep trying to learn a functional language and failing but once I succeed it'll probably be one of them.
@alexbuzzbee Alex what language would you recommend for a complete beginner?
@littleflake Python. There's plenty of tutorials, and it's pretty easy to pick up in general. Once you have the basics down, come up with a project idea and do it, learning what you need along the way. Then do another. Then do the whole thing again with C so that you have a better understanding of how computers work at a lower level. Then you can try Rust if you want a language doesn't make you shoot yourself in the foot as much.
Don't rush yourself, this will take a while.
@alexbuzzbee thanks friend :) i think wikibooks has a python book. do you think that would be a good starting point?
@littleflake The Python book in Wikibooks is for Python 2. You want to learn Python 3.
Whelp I forgot wikibooks was a thing. Down the rabbit hole I go!
