Why is everyone supposedly in such a rush to learn their first (or another) programming language?
“The conclusion is that either people are in a big rush to learn about programming, or that programming is somehow fabulously easier to learn than anything else.“
I just revisited this essay by Peter Norvig, written in 2001 it looks like, but timeless in its pointedness and veracity.
Go read it. Laugh, cry, enjoy.
