  • I’ll add it to my watchlist for next month. I wanna get started with it once I’ve tried out rust.

    And I’ve played quite a bit of Shenzen-IO actually. I have a full paper book labelled and marked haha. I even made little notes to remind me how to make loops and little hacks. That’s one reason I’m considering getting into real assembly, I hope it’ll be as fun.

    I’ve come across TIS-100. Looking at the steam store images made me give up before even trying haha. I wonder if it’ll torture me like Shenzhen or be a nice tutorial.

    Didn’t know about the AT&T / Intel thing. Thanks!


  • COBOL is probably the last language I expected to recieve as a suggestion, other than esolangs. I’m told COBOL doesn’t have fundamental functions like recursion and there’s really no support or libraries for it. I don’t see this being really practical in the real world.

    With that being said, there are quite a few jobs for it. It’s certainly an interesting suggestion but I’m afraid I can’t really get into this without familiarizing myself with more strongly typed languages.

    I dunno if this’ll really be of the same level of demand for the next decade or two but it’s certainly opened my eyes about it. I had no idea a language like that would be useful till date.

    Edit: I’ve found out that there are frameworks and libraries for COBOL. Damn.









  • I appreciate your comment. I understand where you’re coming from. I love the problems on codewars. Also by fluency I mean learning how to write neater code and of course, getting a better grip on the syntax.

    Assembly is an interesting pick. I played with pseudo-assembly on a game called Shenzen-IO. Really fun, though I know real assembly is far more complex. Don’t think I wanna get into that right now but I’ll definitely use it sometime this year. Haven’t heard of prolog, I’ll look into that. Thanks!

    Edit: I misinterpreted what you meant by programming problems.
