Just a note, I was sick of Spotlight too, and I switched to Alfred, which is actually the "father" of spotlight. And it is way better than Spotlight now. You should give it a try

I don't use an IDE for coding in general (unless forced to), but I must admit that Code::Blocks is pretty good. Not has effective as VS or QTCreator, but it still does the job.

Yeah and another good thing I like about Python, it doesn't force you to do object oriented. A beginner doesn't really need this. Its like if you begin with C, you'll have to deal with pointers early, and that means understanding things like memory, stack and heap allocations, safety, etc... Way too much for a new coder.

Yeah exactly a simple language like Python, with simple rules, one way to do a thing, and not the opposite.

I started with C and it took me 3 good years fooling around with other languages too to get a "good" understanding of C. Better learn with higher level languages indeed...

Whao that is impressive, honestly I would not have believe that shell script is this powerful.

Haha I don't think humans would be the only species to survive. Its literally impossible, we are so messy and still we managed to survive for a while.

Yeah and there is a lot of C# people that despise VB, its not helping either

arc0re | 10 years ago | on: BlitzMax, Cross-Platform OO BASIC, Is Free and Open Source

Neat, I was looking for a "modern" BASIC to make some little games, just to see how it was made before. I've always been interested in BASIC, I don't get why some people hate it...

I don't understand the need to use project files with a text editor. Its like one of the reasons why I don't use IDEs - they force you to use a damn project file. I just use folders and I keep it organized the way I like.

arc0re | 10 years ago | on: Ask HN: Do you use an old or 'unfashionable' programming language?

C and elisp most of the time. I'm considered the weirdo in my classroom, all those cool kids that learned with Visual Studio and fancy C#.
