ruby is kind of okay, I might learn it

I don't know any like real programming language except for a decent amount of Haskell I never use. All I use are scripting languages like Perl and Bash sometimes

well, actually, I guess perl is a programming language but for what I use it for it certainly doesn't feel like I'm writing a fully functional program

Glad to see you're repping Clojure, but it makes me wonder where you got the list of languages to put on display. I've never seen anyone here mention it at least.

Kill COBOL with fire.

Actually maybe throwing it into a dimensional rift would be better.

COBOL looks like its a language for people who don't like to use punctuation of any form
...despite it being a lot faster to type than words

hey sounds great for me

On the bright side, if you know COBOL you're guaranteed a job because of all the companies that are still running COBOL programs.

Tfw you optimize something and it runs 100x faster

That's not even an exaggeration. One of my methods in my rest API project at work was throwing and catching a forgetton of exceptions, fixing that brought the response time of my test call down from 5000-6000ms to 50-60ms

You fixed it by removing the error handling right? :)

I'm learning to code in php, javascript, SQL and Visual Basic

I actually prefer to code in SQL manually than use the the awkward interface that is access 2007 for databases

Ive only seen snippits of SQL but it seems pretty easy
Access is kind of a pain for me becasue ive never used it before

No, silly, I fixed what was throwing the exceptions.

IMO SQL goes from "easy" to "wtf is this stuff" as the complexity of the query increases
Mainly cuz I have little experience working with said "wtf is this stuff" queries

My professor keeps nailing this into our heads. Eventually I think I get to learn it but right now I'm just doing Java.

Yeah but it's more of a "we need you to support this old stuff" type job than "let's make something new and exciting"
So if supporting old legacy stuff sounds better to you than making new stuff with modern tech, then sure, go for it. But that sounds dull to me

So who programs in C#?

i do ;-;
