I might be missing the point, but does he think a one-pound steak weighs the same as 100 pounds of shoe leather?
[2012-05-20 12:29:56] thinkpad20 - He's giving general ...He's giving general categories, and in that sense there's little need to mention C++ when he brings up C (and at one point he mentions "or similar languages"). I don't think he left it out because he thinks it's not worth learning.
[2012-05-15 12:29:40] VelocityMW2 - Because C++ isn't ...Because C++ isn't as important anymore. The reason many programmers write C++ is because it used to be popular. It definitively not competing to the upcoming languages like Python, PERL, Ruby
[2012-05-13 20:31:54] XTYNoLuck - I guess people ...I guess people think C++ is actually an extension of C, like an upgraded version with more choices...
[2012-05-09 15:38:26] pufixas - Because its obvious ...Because its obvious :D
[2012-05-04 10:38:12] aaliaFA - Mine too!Mine too!
[2012-05-03 23:57:05] jccarbunkle - Java is my first ...Java is my first choice
[2012-05-02 18:47:50] bdrasin - Heh, its clear that ...Heh, its clear that is isn't Larry's list of the five BEST languages
[2012-04-27 14:40:00] spinningthirdeye - I love PERL.I love PERL.
[2012-04-25 22:15:29] gulllars - Right after i ...Right after i learned Java, i did some java code golfing, and in the process i discovered that perl had a comunity for that. It made me want to learn pearl as a language later, but i just don't have the time now.
[2012-04-19 17:35:17] TheHTMLCode - because he ...because he mentioned C
[2012-04-19 13:54:16] raizumichin - He mentions C, if ...He mentions C, if you understand that well enough then C++ shouldn't be a problem.
[2012-04-17 03:50:51] RMdrum - How the hell is C+ ...How the hell is C++ not mentioned?
[2012-04-17 02:26:53] mdawg252 - ahhhhh perl my ...ahhhhh perl my first language
[2012-04-04 22:14:33] foxwolfblood2 - oh good :P. its a ...oh good :P. its a shame that I actually know people that are like the above but actually its "No X Till i die" where X = Perl, Python, Ruby, Java, C# or any other hated language. Its a shame to see so many useful languages forgotten because people don't want to take the time to learn them. The only exception is VB, that needs to die :P
[2012-04-04 22:04:30] ClamCrunchy - I was just trying ...I was just trying to be funny. I know some C++ and Matlab, but I'm most fluent in Python.
[2012-04-04 21:19:58] foxwolfblood2 - Why? I personally ...Why? I personally try to learn as much as i can, why just leave out a language that can be useful in some situation. I use Perl as my normal scripting language, i know it better, but Python has been great to know as well thanks to the new programming community. With Perl it would be much harder for me to have the number of programmers collaborating with me on my projects than i get with Python users because Python is what people are learning today.
[2012-04-03 21:34:22] saaaaaaaaaaaaak - You spelled, Perl ...You spelled, Perl incorrect, and CSS is not a programming language it's basically an addition to html, and html means, hyper text mark up language.
[2012-03-28 17:57:27] Genghiskaran - I have something ...I have something about perl at my house mayne o shoild start using it
[2012-03-28 02:14:29] lalacomun88 - C++ doesnt succed!! ...C++ doesnt succed!!!!!???? troll
[2012-03-20 01:42:54] BigBobsh2o - For me personally I ...For me personally I like VB.Net, Java, JavaScript. .Net and Java are so huge that I think you need to primarily focus on one.
[2012-03-18 20:48:32] cashjamesPremium1 - most common ...most common languages to know about are C C# C++ Java python visual basic php html and pascal & pearl. best known scripted languages is java script and Css
[2012-03-16 07:33:19] StareAtStuff - lmao. Love the ...lmao. Love the mustache and the glasses. It's pedotastic!
[2012-03-15 19:25:36] ClamCrunchy - NO, PYTHON 'TIL I ...NO, PYTHON 'TIL I DIE
[2012-03-05 16:25:23] DeathNote123Fan - I'm pretty sure no ...I'm pretty sure no one who is doing professional video editing, wants to do it over the internet. There are also going to be a lot of normal games (priced about 40€ on their release, not the ones you play using just your browser, operating systems, software to create these 3d-models for movies and games, maybe there's going to be new software when 4k2k or even higher video becomes normal (or "Ultra High Definition", or something like that, I heard the first TVs r planned 2020)
[2012-03-02 20:36:36] animals0feel1pain2 - Ah. Man, I remember ...Ah. Man, I remember playing games written using Perl back when I was 7. Those were the good days.
[2012-03-01 08:41:29] narcosist - ahah perl last, ...ahah perl last, modest much :P
[2012-02-27 02:58:50] TheBowlcutBandit - It depends what you ...It depends what you do really, web design means HTML, CSS, PHP/ASP, JavaScript. Cross platform means C/C++/Java/Python/Ruby/Lua. FAST but PLATFORM SPECIFIC, also C/C++ and Assembly. So it depends what you're doing to choose a language because ALL are good for one thing, but not ALL can do everything and so much more to consider.
[2012-02-23 08:35:54] BitchBeTrollinHard - he is like ricky ...he is like ricky bobby "im not sure what to do with my hands"
[2012-02-23 06:28:25] Migue261 - this guy is so ...this guy is so likeable
