Hello friends, the title is mostly self explanatory. I would like to start programming but I also feel like I am not very smart, so I would like a programming language that is easier to grasp than others. That considered I don’t hope to be able to learn something “powerful” but it would be nice to still be able to do some useful things. Something I would love to do is make games, I know those are usually made in C, which is a very difficult one, but maybe some simpler games can be made with other languages.
Python is easy to learn and marketable. I personally prefer Ruby to Python, but Python is a good place to start. For most AAA games, it’s C++, and yes it’s horrendously complex. I vastly prefer Rust to C++. Good old C is actually a fairly small language, and only moderately difficult.
Thank you for your post, before this thread I thought that all the C named languages (c, c++ and c#) were at least similar but it looks like it’s not the case.
C derivatives are similar in terms of things like imperative control flow, lower-case keywords like
if, mostly insignificant whitespace,{ }-delimited blocks, etc., but they can be vastly different in terms of features, semantics, idioms, and typical use cases.It’s like how non-programming languages can use the same Latin alphabet but be vastly different in terms of grammar and culture.
