Akbar Language Enthusiast September 24th, 2006
Yeah, that’s who I am. If not because of time, I will learn all programming languages in this earth. Every programming language has its beauty. I remember back when I was learning C++ programming language, I didn’t want to learn other programming languages. I want to specialize in C++ . I was worried if I would be forced to make software using another programming language (I thought Java at that time). I want all my projects done with C++.
Okay, that is noble thing to do because software written in C++ runs very fast compare to for example, Java or scripting programming languages. But I realize that writing software in C++ is hard. So I gave up. I go to Java. Writing software in Java is much nicer than writing software in C++. So I learn that don’t stick with one programming language. Learn as much as you can.
This semester in my university (september to january, 4 months), I have couple programming languages in my list. I want to learn them then write software or project with those programming languages. What are they? They are Delphi (or Object Pascal), Prolog, and Mozart (or Oz). In this period I want to deepen my knowledge in Ruby (and ROR). But I realize I don’t have time anymore. Delphi, Prolog and Mozart. Until this time Mozart is the most difficult one to grab. I will tell my experience with these programming languages in another posts.
Let’s not forget that I have to do wallpapoz in python programming language and my thesis project in ruby on rails (and mozart in the backend). So I deal with five programming languages in this semester.
