what language should i learn? im done with PHP and its bullshit community of 13 year old faggots. im leaning towards perl or python but the forced indentation of code is fucking stupid. perl seems easy enough. i might get into c++ and away from web based languages.
any suggestions faggots?

Read SICP. Then use Python. The forced indentation of code is not fucking stupid.

Perl AND Python. And then Scheme or Common Lisp to see how Perl and Python both are inferior to cudder-based languages.
Also, webshite development is very easy with Weblocks (Common Lisp).

SICP is fucking boring, no thanks. i think im gonna go with perl.

Enjoy your failure as a programmer, short attention spanned one.
Taste in languages has at least 5 categories
1. Simple with minimal instruction sets. Logo,
Squeak, Scheme.
2. Too simple with excessiveley minimal instruction sets
leading to long programs, but the language is easy to
master and remember.
BrainF**ck. Subtract and Branch. Assembler. Toy Forths
like Owl.
3. Powerful with large instruction sets and libraries.
Takes a long time to learn, but programs are short.
Perl. Ruby.
4. Large community of users sharing code.
Perl CPAN. Python Cheese Shop. C GNU and Linux packages.
5. Function-oriented with syntax allowing a master to
get the job done with short programs. (How that's more
rewarding than the large comand set languages, I'm
not sure. Perhaps it's a combination of power and
command sets small enough to be completely memorized.)
Haskell (and Clean), Lisp.

>>15 I have a better pattern for you :
1. SICP
2. Satori

Why fuck around? Just learn a cudder based language from the start. After that learn a functional language to get more experience with high-level manipulations that may not be obvious to a person who only writes PAREN TYPAN code.
To the uninitiated:
The children repeatedly typing "SICP" are trying to
participate in the Internet Meme culture. But they
have not yet learned that a meme must be entertaining.
In 5 or 10 years they will likely mature and develop
some basic discriminatory taste. Meanwhile, they gather
at 4chan and practice pounding their S-I-C-P keys.
The road to learning is filled with such errors in judgment.

I think that you totally missed the point of SICP. Before, I was thinking like you that SICP was just some kind of ``abstract bullshit" but it's the real and only way of programming, The Sussman was not only a genius but also had a very good way to explain it through one unique language. Lisp, A language so simple that you can teach it to bright students in 10 minutes. I never thought that Satori would exist, except the day I achieved it(after I read SICP)
You feel like you had achieved everything you had to. You understand why lisp is superior to Java. SICP should not only be treated as a Great Book but also as the Holy Bible of Programming. The day you will comprehend the philosophical concepts in SICP you will be ready for this board, lisp and SICP. The first day I saw SICP I thought it was only a normal book. Well, I was wrong it changed my life. If you hhave questions about the point of programming, SICP has the answer. If you have questions about the meaning of life, SICP has the answer. If you have questions about Satori, SICP has the answer. SICP answered to every questions I had. It's definitly the greatest book ever written and you should give the chance to read it to everyone.

You should learn assembly. It would probably help you think, if that's possible. Then again you might get really frustrated by things too challenging for you and go on a rampage and kill countless people. No one wants that. Well, MOST people don't.

if you can code perl and forth you can code anything else ever
