Hi everyone,
I would like an honest opinion.
I have a beginner level (able to do very small programs) in a
few languages such as python, go, C, guile(scheme) and common
lisp. I want to pick a language and go deep with it and focus
on only one for at least the next 2 years or so.
Should I go for C and then when I become a better programmer
change to D?
Should I start with D right now?
The reason I am considering starting with C: since I am a
beginner, obvious I will need lots of books, tutorials, videos
etc. And I believe C would have more resources and maybe a low
level to help with programming in general. And, when I need a
more powerful language, I would than learn D. Since you know
the good and the ugly of the D programming language I wonder,
what you would think would be the best to do right now?
Thank you for your help!
I will go against the grain:
Start with both! Yes! You can do it! You can! In fact, you will
do it better! It will be a little harder at first but much faster
in the end.
D is C... no real difference, just minor stuff. Things take time
to sink in, so if you start D and C now you will be further down
the road than if you start D later.
But if you really want to learn to program I suggest you go with
Haskell. You can do them all together too but Haskell is like
learning Alien while D is learning German.
