Learning to code
| Learn Lua instead of Python.
So much faster n cleaner.
| >>311137 python is better for general purpose (in my opinion) but is much larger than Lua, so Lua reins King for embedded use.
So if you want a really small interpreter that I think is somewhat faster go with Lua, otherwise pythons library is quite nice to have.
| You can even go for java learning its structure will help you a lot with other languages like python, c++ and c#.

Lua is better for AI (30x to 300x times faster)
Lua is the fastest High Leven Language (falls only short of C)
Lua is so fast that it's not just somewhat faster.
To include Lua in C it's only 4 lines of Code. (C is like the language in which everything complex (like an OS) is written)
Lua is easier (needs 60% of the key words to do the same and more)
| So should I bother to learn assembly as a low level language or something else?
| Why? Low level doesn't mean easier, it means tedious.
| >>311829 It also means being closer to the core processor. Good luck writing a compiler in python that has the capabilities of C++
| I wouldn't suggest learning low-level if you're just starting out/has no real use for it. But if you like doing it, why the heck not.
| If you want to stay relevant you need to learn https://www.emojicode.org/
| depends on what you want do...
C# if you want some regzlar programming language but at easier way
C++ if you want do details
Lua/Python/Other scripts if you want do only some small stuffs etc.. you must decide. We can't help you probably
| Go for the fundamentals first. If you wish to use it as a vocation, research the technologies (e.g. languages) that are mostly being used by organizations. Someone will try to sell you an obscure language, but go for the names that you hear more often in the mainstream (e.g. Python, Java, C++, etc.). Learn these first and then you can derail.

| So I've decided that I want to learn to code. Thing is, I want an assortment of languages from each category, like Object-oriented and whatnot. I've got C and Lisp so far as my math professor gave me a bunch of books on those. So what other languages should I learn?
