You do know how to program, right Fren? At least simple scripts?
well I wrote a small 1 line script to delete old files from the Trash folder if that counts.
how are you even supposed to start learning how to program. It seems so unapproachable, like there's a hundred things you need to already know before you can actually do anything useful.
>>739 Well for your first programming language you're gonna want something that let's you write simple things easily. A fun way to potentially learn how to program could be to make a board on this website and ask for custom Javascript to be enabled. You could learn how to use Javascript to do fun things that make your board more interesting.
>>739 Python is the standard "first programming language" so just try that.
Alright so what's the deal with Haskell. Is it just a meme language for autists, or is there a benefit to functional programming in a pure way, instead of just having it be an aspect sprinkled into a more classical procedural style? I get the feeling that the community has a bit of a superiority complex, kinda like the Arch Linux community, so that's not a good start.

I know already a little bit of Bydlon programming but so far all I managed to write couple of small programs with spaghetti tier structuring where and where variable names and function names are not in a set standard. Yeah I'm a dumbo at this alright. Does programming with a game engine count for the purpose of this threda?
>>723 I steal scripts from >>>/t/ sometimes.
>>796 >Does programming with a game engine count for the purpose of this threda? Yeah I'd say it counts as long as there's an actual programming language being used in there somewhere. >>797 I used to do the same with small scripts on the Linux stack exchange for shell scripts, but Stack Exchange has become such a terrible website that I don't really go there anymore.
>>798 >Yeah I'd say it counts as long as there's an actual programming language being used in there somewhere. Huh there are programing languages that are fake?
>>801 I'm saying that it shouldn't be one of those basic game engine's for beginners where everything's just dragging and droppings things on a plane. Even if it has some conditional logic I really don't think those things count as programming language. Stuff like Click And Play from the early 00s is what I'm talking about.
>>802 >where everything's just dragging and droppings things on a plane. Aw, RIP LabVIEW.
