I made this because it might be a fun idea with so many people learning various things related to programming/coding on the forum. I will open with a joke:

Why do anarchists only use Haskell?
Spoiler: show
Because it's stateless!

I know how to use Python and Java so far. Learning Ruby is on my agenda for this summer.

I made my first C++ program from scratch.

It tells you how happy you are. It wears out its novelty after seven seconds, but shit, I built it. :mafia:

Does this have something more than just memorizing syntax, q.m. I started the C++ one and it seems codeacadaememy-flavoured.

After a few days working with Ruby earlier this summer, I don't like.

Is anyone here partial to Ruby for one reason or another?

I've been reading A Tour of C++ by Bjarne Stroustroup and listening to some of his lectures and it seems that C++ is a lot less ugly when used correctly, for example the templates remind me of type classes in Haskell and the memory management seems cleaner and less complex than in plain C. :beer:

And... probably. I can either buy it through the UT system for $250 subscription a year or just use UTSA's Citrix access for free (which is what I end up doing because of the $$, even though I'd prefer the former).

I think I used SAS once in grad school, but we primarily worked in STATA. I stopped caring when I realized that econometrics is all lies designed to give empirical credibility to whatever your pet theory happens to be.

I'm taking a Probability/Statistics class right now. I mentioned this to a friend of mine who did her undergrad in math and she responded with something along the lines of "Statistics are great! You can create a model to explain any data behavior you want however you want!"
