Just a thought: I bought the book and haven't yet started it. Something encouraging my procrastination is the horrid thought of having various language server services setup on my machine with noob configurations (me being the noob). It struck me that using some sort of Linux VM for learning would be beneficial (perhaps a separate clean VM per language), boot up the VM, get the language configs in a mess and not worry about it, just scrap the VM and start over.
Perhaps that's me being a little Lady Macbeth like though :p On 13 January 2011 17:43, Sean Corfield <seancorfi...@gmail.com> wrote: > pect to have to spend time on Google with each language.
