Previous thread Fuck the weaboos edition

What are you working on Sup Forums?

C

What's a good beginner textbook for java?

Third for C.

I'm creating an ncurses spreadsheet app in C which embeds Lua

Are you retarded?
We already have a new thread.

Difference between c and c++?

>which embeds Lua
What is Lua used for?

They are completely different languages. It doesn't really make a lot of sense to compare them.

Fuck off

>not weab pedo shit
Based op.

2 '+' signs

I see. I thought they were related because of the names.

the new meme is to embed Lua into everything for ease of use later on

Thinking java worked great for me.

Kek

What's so great about c?

C++ was derived from C back in the 80s or whenever it was, but both have the languages have evolved in two completely different directions.
At this point, it makes no sense to think of them as being related.
You may find the occasional retard who says "C++ is a superset of C", but that's flat out wrong.

>new meme
People have been embedding Lua into shit for ages. I think it would actually be useful for a spreadsheet program though. Maybe he uses it for automation or something.

Should I take a cs degree, or just learn programming freelance?

C does what C does best.

If you want to become a programmer, go study a programming course. CS is not a programming course.

Thanks for explaining that.

It's literally a quote from the creator of C++

Lua evaluates formulas/expressions in cells

Will probably add more general scripting with Lua ala VBA

What's a good programming course?

>It's literally a quote from the creator of C++
int *ptr = malloc(sizeof *ptr);
There. I just proved him wrong.

Learning Golang.

Is programming really better on Linux?

Yes.

There's so many programming languages and yet none of them is perfect.

But better how?
Should I use an IDE, or a text editor?
