Which Language to Choose?

Name: Anon 2011-01-20 19:14

Hey guys, I haven't programmed in a while now and I'd like to get back into it. I've used VB6 at school for a year and then C on my own for a month or two. So what I mostly want to do is program for fun, both visual and software kind of things. I'd like to start more with gaming programming to eventually move on to (when i get more advanced) things that can interact with the OS, etc more core programming. So which is best for this?

bonus: I don't mind how hard the language is to learn.

Read http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html and do all the exercises.

Then discard all the acquired Satori and do Java for the rest of your petty life.

Fuck you

OP if you want to program for fun, C and VB6 are not fun.  For games, I recommend C# with XNA if your don't mind using windows(bonus:games work on xbox and zune).  If you want to do non-game but fun programming, learn python.  It's seriously the most fun you'll ever have staring at lines of code.

MASTER C.
USE IT.

this post has more content than most of the shit
Your post has no content about programming.  It's all about you—someone who, by your own admission, doesn't know programming.  We can have threads about Sussman, Agnarsson, Dickie, even Culver, because they are programmers.  We can't have a thread about some random jackoff.

I was in Japan, but it didn't really seem like Japan because there were too many white people. The people I interacted with in the dream were all caucasian at least. The Asians were just the background people, like extras in a movie. Anyways I was walking through some sort of mall. The stores were interconnected so you walk through a door and you're in the next store. I seemed to have a set destination in mind, since I wasn't browsing any of the stores and was weaving through them all. I accidentally bump into a Japanese lady and mutter something and rush off, realizing I'm in Japan and don't actually know how to apologize. So, naturally I ask twitter.

Dear John,

I have come to visit you for the first time in quite a while, and I must say that your board is dreadfully boring.

Vodka makes me black out. I may even be blacked out whenever I read and write 4chan posts.  Am I awake? Obviously Vlad the Impaler does not want it Putin the bum of a young boy. Hence the laws against homosexuality.

Don't change these.
