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?

I love Haskell too k. There is a music composition thing made in Haskell, I would like to try to figure it out some day.

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.

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?

It seems that Ruby is one of those languages that forces you to use objects?

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.

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).

If you pay for proprietary software, you're no better than the people who license it.

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!"
