Some type of BASIC came first along with Batch (if it counts) and later Visual Basic. All sorts of easy things that I fully advocate for as first languages in education. The next step for me was C/C++ and various different languages that are more learning examples than anything now like COBOL and Pascal. And then for school, I picked up Python, Java, C#, Ruby, and a smattering of ARM Assembler.

I use a lot of languages for school, but outside of that, depending on the research I’m doing, projects I’m working on, and other things, it varies between C++ (which I use for analytics and research stuff) and Python (which is much nicer for automation and interacting with distributed computing). Bash finds itself very close behind them for automation when I’m being too lazy to write Python.

I feel that. I switched from a GTX era GPU to a 7800XT as well recently. It’s night and day how many generic glitches and program limitations I don’t have to deal with anymore.

Welcome. ^^

Hello! I’m Bluefox. I’m mostly a C/C++ programmer, but dabble in Java because school makes me. I also have an interest in COBOL, Pascal, and Fortran, but haven’t had the time to study them. Been attempting to code or fiddle with code at least since I was 8 or 9, and now I study it. Hoping to do research work with programming in the future.
