programming & scripting

[unreality]

What language you should learn depends what you want to accomplish. Python's a good overall language. For the stuff I do it's only C for ultra high performance.

This, and also digging into the Linux kernel.

For anyone who wants to learn Python:
Think Python
Automate the Boring Stuff with Python

sorry for the delay guys I'm in the middle of moving and been on a long training course.

I did make a game out of Batch in the end just to learn.

Is it fair to say 99.9% of programming language are scripting ? or would that not be fair to say.

also after messing with Basic (a little) I can't help but see the similarities in most programming languages to Basic. Would everything be built on Basic or would you say something like Unix is what most languages are built on ? Most computers seem to have used Microsoft basic in the 90s

This is just a little hobby and as you have said Python seems like a good start.
So don't go anyware as I may have many many many many quetions for you

I'm not sure yet if this forum favors necroing older threads vs starting new ones on the same topic as those which already exist, but...

Just picked this up for some fun retro-programming times. It's really just a glorified VICE, but with loads of a e s t h e t i c and liminal-space vibes. Can't wait to mess around in BASIC just because I've never really done it yet outside of fantasy consoles.

Also, I've been really wanting to learn DSP so I'm checking this thing out. I get this feeling it'll take years before I develop a simple LPF, but it looks like a lot of fun to try. Anyone else still coding?
