Kitching Human Being Phoenix, ArizonaThis is something I understood very recently, and the reason for which I stopped to aggressively disdain Java and C#. The problem is not the language, it's the language's user. Always. If eclipse is slow, huge and buggy (in my experience, 2 years ago, it was.), it's not because it's written in Java, there are very good programs written in Java, and in Debian, you can find games with graphics of 90s, written in C or C++, which are slow as hell on a modern computer.And nowadays compilers can make code better optimized than you could, too. The question is, what is real optimization? Speed? Size? How many of one? Or of both?Before that, I learn that it was not windows itself which was buggy, but the softwares I was using. I discovered that last one when I discovered linux, and had some crashes ;) Sounds like it's easy to say it's the language/OS 's fault, and never the programmer's one. Probably easy, but so often wrong.I think time made me wiser on those points. (funny to notice that when I was a windows users, I was used to write "window$" and "M$" and other insulting transformations which are far worse. Stopped that by discovering another OS.)
I guess a high level language like C, Pascal, Basic etc. is harder to learn than Assembler, while there for sure are reasons that you nowadays program in C. Optimal optimization are speed, size, functionality and stability. Sure, first steps can be easier done with high level languages, but the result usually will be spaghetti code.
Clear formatted, easy to understand, but insane: Output_to_screen_command "Hel" jump_to label_x label_y Output_to_screen_command "world" jump_to_label_z label_x Output_to_screen_command "lo " jump_to label_y label_z finish_program_commandSo you learned how to make your computer say "Hello world" and how to jump in R.A.L.F., but you did not learn when it's useful and when it's insane to use the jump command in R.A.L.F. ;).
