What programming language should I use
- Thread starter netcat
- Start date
Why is that?
ok fine it's a bold statement
but on my zaurus back in my youth
java sucked because of memory greed
c++ took ages to compile
the interpreted work flow suits such a device

I use a raspberry pi to compile my c++ projects and I think its good enough, so the pyra should be much better on that, Im pretty sure

The compile time negligible if the resulting code runs fast. C++ is fine, imo.
code::blocks?
I prefer little overlap between portables and desktops
so you don't compare the two as much
and don't develope a preference
on pyra I'll do only scripty hacks
and games that don't work well on the rpi

are you by any chance not a developer?

I prefer my code to not run like garbage

I use make directly, so its compilation onlycode::blocks?

So I should start off with C then?

Still fresh, damnit!
If you want to go all the way back in the C++ line, you should probably start with BCPL (the 'Before C Programming Language'). I just found and compiled a BCPL compiler on Linux while writing this comment, so it should be possible to do that on Pandora, Pyra or whatever too.

I am a developer, though it may depend on what you think a real developer is. I'm not a doing it as a job, if that's what you're after.
I've already compiled and run my code on the Pyra and it runs just fine.
I'm still genuinely curious what you'd recommend everyone to use instead. Some actual arguments instead of a cool smiley face would be great.

Come on, guys. We all know the best programing language on the Pyra will be Brainfuck.

Only competition, IMO, would be LOLCODE.

There can be only LISP.
yes
if you just want to build things maybe a high level language with a lot of libraries might be better.

sorry for being unclear:
in experience on the zaurus (another clamshell) I much preferred coding interpreted (ie: scripting) languages.
reason is compilation took too long.
I taught myself ruby on the train to my parents house.
also hacked perl and c (which compiles fast).
if you want a first language suggestion from me it would be python for sure.

c is an excellent choice if your objective is to learn about computers at a low level.

I had a scheme interpreter too!

On the pandora/pyra :
C for everything low-level, C++ for everything else
C for everything low-level, C++ for everything else
And so you prefered to put the slowness on your users ? "cool bro"
Cross-compilation or distcc anyone ?

C++ is slower than C to compile, sure. But you only feel it on large, multi-dev project. You don't feel any slowiness on single-man project size. And that on Pandora, so on Pyra, you just wont feel it...
the question was: which language to use to learn programming on the pyra.
on the pyra
I felt it on small toy projects.
iirc c++ was ~10x slower than c, probably due in no small part to my use of stl.
and yes, i tried a bunch of tricks: -0, -pipe, many compilation units..
While I agree there are very small files in freeorion (ironically the script parser files) that literally take gigs of RAM and minutes to compile. I haven't checked whether that is the fault of boost or the fault of the boost user, but obviously it is very easy even for a single person to create code that isn't fun to compile in C++ compared to other C like dialects.

Welcome to the dependency hell, there's enough libs for everyone! You want some IO helper functions for your console program? Let me smash the Qt Framework into you face!
