Languages to Learn

A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming, is not worth knowing.

This note contains languages that I must remember to try out.

• C, code more, efficiency.
• C++, code more, why people say this is so bad compared to C.
• Lua, code more, metatables seem cool.
• Go, code more, channels are cool.
• Rust, code more, the lower-level programming is cool.
• Clojure, code more, impure functional on JVM.
• Haskell, code more, pure functional
• Erlang, nothing done, weird and awkward.
• Io, nothing done, dirty metaprogramming.
• Julia, nothing done, Lisp-like, code is a data structure of language itself
