It is funny how "safe" stuff and crappy programmers somehow end
up together.
precisely my point. The vast majority of programmers in this
country are crappy programmers - maybe due to the education system
or maybe due to the climate. So how do you get good code out of
them? certainly not by letting them loose to code in C or php (or
java or perl, for that matter) - you do it by getting them to learn
the safe languages like python or pascal. Then let the good ones go
further into unknown territory. And then there would be less crappy
code in the world.
That's so... wrong. You don't teach programmers safe programming
languages, you teach them safe programming. You don't teach
programmers decent indentation by forcing them to use a language that
enforces indentation, you just teach them decent indentation. You
don't teach programmers the MVC paradigm by forcing them to use
systems that enforce MVC, you just keep hitting them over the head
until they do MVC properly.
Should new computer users start working directly on the internet and be
a safety hazard to others? Or should they be taught the basics of
computers first and then slowly introduced to internet? :)
