what language

Name: Anonymous 2007-09-18 14:58 ID:J9XS4GrL

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?

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.
