I wonder, is Java still a good recommendation? Some professional software companies are also going for Scheme, which GNU Guile understands well. I won't mention their names here because I don't want to serve as bait for openwashing, I think we deserve more than organizations using free/libre software, but everyone else using completely free/libre software (not just the parts a given company allows us to).
Besides, Scheme itself has an XML parser and formatter which can also be used to deal (with) or generate (dynamic, server-side) HTML (I'm talking about 'sxml), and has embedded web server, plus other tricks that make learning programming very easy, but also makes the language stand out in other aspects compared to other languages. 2018-01-05T21:27:27+0100 [email protected] wrote: > One way is to join the Free Software Foundation as an associate > member: https://www.fsf.org/associate/ > Not only would you be contributing financially to people doing great > work, but it often leads people towards IRC and XMPP chats with people > who might have some ideas for you.
