Re: Coding
How the heck can anyone get bored of C++? Like those Java coders, never could understand them.

It's kinda mainstream... Everybody is used to it...

Re: Coding
Frankly, C++ is too...procedural. I tried Perl, but prefer Ruby instead. And I agree with Stefy, C++ is as if you are instantaneously doing something you have to, rather then enjoying programming.

In your educational system or at work you will soon enough run into a functional rather than procedural language.

I prefer functional over procedural. But once you learned procedural first, forever will you think that way.

Re: Coding
Have you two ever tried something of the sorts of APL and J?

Re: Coding
Hi;
I didn't like APL. Pretty early on I got fascinated by AI so the functional paradigm is where I stayed.

Don't remember all that much about the language but I do remember writing a package to do multiprecision arithmetic in it.

I am very impressed by the shortness of coded that gets written in J. I.e. it takes only 4 characters to sum a matrix +/+/...

Re: Coding
But look at the awesome power of lisp
Code:
(mapcar #'+ '(1 2 3 4 5) '(10 20 30 40 50)
yields (11 22 33 44 55)
or M's power
{1,2,3,4,5}+{10,20,30,40,50} -> {11,22,33,44,55}
No annoying loop. No remembering whether arrays start at 0 or 1. No going past the end of the array.

Re: Coding
J can do that too.
Code:
1 2 3 4 5+11 12 13 14 15 12 14 16 18 20
