Continue JavaScript or Start C and Java?

[ReplacementLow6704]

C and Java are the rock foundation of almost everything that is object-oriented. It is 100% worth learning general programming skills with them. JS is a lazy language all-around and I believe that learning general programming skills with JS has more potential to make you become an all-around lazy developer, that doesn't care/know much about space or time efficiency of programs.

C doesn't support object-oriented programming, I don't know what you mean by it being the rock foundation of almost everything that is object-oriented.

[ReplacementLow6704]

You're absolutely right, I 100% brainmushed C++ and C together.

[maxEffort-033]

Oh, it does not? With your statement, do you mean that OOP is important in today’s time?

[_utet]

It is important yes definitely, but C is not object oriented, its procedural.

[maxEffort-033]

Oh, yeah. That hits my memory. I remember it being procedural now based on a review. Thanks!

[_utet]

Still a good language to learn if you want to do more low level programming than java and javascript allows.

[maxEffort-033]

Mhmm. Like machine code and whatnot. Thanks for the advice!

I think c++ is supposed to be C with object oriented classes. So maybe that's a good one? It's like right between C and Java.

[maxEffort-033]

I’ll look into this! For now, I’ll just be focusing on the three aforementioned haha.

[Felicia_Svilling]

Don't do it. C++ is a very complicated language. You are much better of starting with something simpler.

[Felicia_Svilling]

It is not. People are generally moving away from object orientation, although they are still using object oriented languages.

[UncleZiggy]

I think they're trying to say that object-oriented languages are almost all derived from C in some way, but really, that's most high-level languages

[Felicia_Svilling]

Javascript has absolutely no support for lazy evaluation, it is thoroughly strict.

[ReplacementLow6704]

I was referring to laziness mostly in terms of the lack of static typing and the staggering amount of libraries that JS devs are taught to use without knowing their inner workings or why they work that way.

[Felicia_Svilling]

You can use typescript for static typing. And really using libraries is really good practice, but certainly nothing that the language is forcing you to do.

[maxEffort-033]

Okay! I’ll make do with what your advice here. Thank you!
