As i said i don't want this to descend into a discussion of which language
is better than another. When i learned to program we never used any
specific language but rather wrote pseudo code and studied the
mathematics behind any algorithms.
.
as I've said it about understanding the core principal that's why i
think the language is irreverent. once you understand the core
principals
