I wish I had a programming class right now. Sitting here reading Othello has got me bogged down. I also have a math set to do, but I promised myself I wouldn’t do it until after I finished my reading since we’re doing exponential functions, which I am enjoying (yay for math nerds).
The only problem: the programming language they teach here is Ada, made by some crazy European people (with a large amount of Frenchmen involved) and used by just about nobody. I really do not want to waste my time learning Ada, and here are some reasons why:
-I already know C++, which is far more widely used and probably faster too
-Ada was made by frenchmen
-Ada is not case sensitive. What the hell is that about!?
-Ada compilers usually do not come with Linux systems, evidencing how (un)popular the language is
-Ada is different, and I fear what is different
Why can’t they teach a man’s language here, like C++ or Java instead of some kid’s programming language? If they named Ada something cool like Akoop (Ass-kicking object orient programming) I’d be excited, but it’s Ada, named after some Queen of some dumb country nobody heard of or some other dumb such.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna finish my Othello, do some exponential functions, then read up on a real programming language, like C++.
