so i was talking to mootykins and he told me that he was thinking that /prog/ would be a great forum to axe. considering it doesnt meld well with the whole 4chan theme, its gone to astray. so /prog/, what will you do when your precious forum is gone?

/prog/ is filled with the most dangerous people on 4chan, interweb-wise

Actually, this says more about 4chan than it does about /prog/.

No EXPERT PROGRAMMER worth his salt would post on Trevorchan. Piece of shit doesn't even have proper BBCODE support.

Besides the fact that it's a fucking image board (failure), running fucking Trevorchan (major failure), I just read the sticky and died a little.
My recommendation is of course, C. It teaches you common syntax and code flow, as well as memory management which is a good way to get an initial grasp on data handling. It's an unforgiving code, and that's exactly what you need when you are learning. Learning a code that allows for mistakes and simplicity means you'll be a second-rate coder. I also strongly recommend AGAINST lisp. Why, especially when it's (supposedly) a great language for learning about math, data management and data manipulation? Because you don't need to know about that shit until you can crank out some working fucking programs.
I was already at a loss for words, then I scrolled down and saw fantastic claims, like the fact that Javascript isn't a programming language and such pearls like this follow up by the idiot who started the thread: Lisp can teach you a lot of shit, but the shit it teaches you can be taught in any other language, just apparently 'not as easily'(ha). And yes, I read SCIP. Not even worth reading. That's right, I said it. If you already know how to work with 'OH SO ADVANCED' topics like recursion, as well as fairly common data structures like lists and trees, then there's no real point reading the book. SCIP
Retard or greatest troll?

if you strike /prog/ down, it will become more powerful than you can ever image

Neppyman and Timbus are fagging up /pr/. My sticky, transparent pixel image: Please use the code tag when posting code. This is not /halp/.
Neppyman replaces it with a bloated version and a shitty image from "Hackers".
And then Timbus makes his thread sticky for no reason. He's a fucking dramawhore who likes to think he is an EXPERT PROGRAMMER.
