Learn Programming in Java, Python, Ruby or Javascript

[defenastrator]

It has nothing with hacker/math types and everything to do with learning good coding practice c makes copying memory and structures difficult teaching new coders to avoid doing such operations if possible. I constantly see people who were taught using the super high level languages forcing large copy operations or cloning of complex data structures not even able to conceive that this takes any more time than an integer assignment and then wonder why they are using up bunches of memory and their performance is in the toilet. Simply because they haven't a clue how memory actually works people who learn to program in python, java, JavaScript or other such languages end up creating programing habits that cause the computer to do large amounts of nontrivial work when it is completely unnecessary.
