Some type of BASIC came first along with Batch (if it counts) and later Visual Basic. All sorts of easy things that I fully advocate for as first languages in education. The next step for me was C/C++ and various different languages that are more learning examples than anything now like COBOL and Pascal. And then for school, I picked up Python, Java, C#, Ruby, and a smattering of ARM Assembler.

I use a lot of languages for school, but outside of that, depending on the research I’m doing, projects I’m working on, and other things, it varies between C++ (which I use for analytics and research stuff) and Python (which is much nicer for automation and interacting with distributed computing). Bash finds itself very close behind them for automation when I’m being too lazy to write Python.

I feel that. I switched from a GTX era GPU to a 7800XT as well recently. It’s night and day how many generic glitches and program limitations I don’t have to deal with anymore.

Everyday there are more things that fail to separate Windows from its past versions in functionality, but detriment the usability of all the versions to come. Microsoft is changing arbitrary things like this (let’s face it, there aren’t many people truly effected by not having WordPad) just for the sake of changing, not for any foreseeable benefit.

As a LibreOffice, OpenOffice, MS Office 2000, and unfortunately Google Suite user, I’ve seen that there are many effective replacements, so I don’t see this impacting anyone too severely. It’s just stupid.

This is a cool technology, making the assumption that it’s real, but due to cost and scaling limitations, I doubt we’ll see it outside of specialized use cases any time soon. For expensive use cases that have unique cases for it, it might prove interesting.

This seems like a really awesome project.

Welcome aboard. We’re happy to have you here. ^^
