Ruby programming language

Continuing with the programming languages I have tired because I can’t figure out what else to write about series of blog posts.

RubyRuby is another programming language I have tried. Why did I try a bunch of programming languages? Because I had hard drive space to spare so I had to fill it with something.

Why did I want to try Ruby? I wanted to read whys poignant guide to ruby . I did read a few pages of the book. Then the clock struck twelve and Ruby’s time in my life had come to an end.

I never wrote much ruby code. Which I am sure no one noticed or cared about. I was obsessed with making GUI programs with ruby. I never did that either. I never made a website with ruby rails. I never did much of anything with ruby except to read tutorials if that. And maybe read parts of other books about Ruby.

Rebol, Programming language

Another of the short list of programming languages I have tried is Rebol. I like that its a small download. I was sure Rebol was going to take over the computer world. Because I know about such things. So that go me down. Why learn any other programming languages.

In fact why even learn Rebol. I did read a little bit of a tutorial on the rebol website. It might be a fun language to program in. How would I know I have not done much of any programming with it.

I don’t want to commit to a programming language. I might miss out on another programming language that becomes popular. In fact why commit to programming. Thinking about programming is enough.

Pike programming language

Pike is another programming language I downloaded and installed on my computer. Maybe I needed my download manager taken away so that I could not download any more programming languages.  It might have helped.

The farthest I got with pike was probably writing a hello world program. I did think that name of the programming language was neat. Pike. What a name. Sounds cool to me.

Its a shame I never wrote any programs with it. Oh, well.

Nim programming language

when I tried Nim it was called nimrod. I liked the name Nimrod so I downloaded and installed the programming language to my computer.

programming languages are like the cereal isle at the supermarket. I want to try a new cereal type every time. It used to be a week with a programming language and then I wanted to try another programming language.

I did not do much with nimrod. I looked at some documentation. Probably wrote a hello world program. Then forgot about Nimrod. So sad.

High level Assembly

I have used high level assembly a little. I read several chapters of the art of assembly language programming 

I am not ashamed to admit it. Assembly language programming gets me excited. Learning about registers so fun. I never did write anything in assembly.  I read the book for awhile. I even installed an IDE and then one day I quit reading the book.

I enjoy learning about hardware even though I am not sure that I like computers that much.

Oh, that reminds me I did make my way through a copy of Upgrading and repairing PCs. It was an edition from 1995 or so. I enjoyed reading about computer hardware though I did not understand everything.

So maybe one day I will make a program in assembly language. Or I won’t.

I am going to write about a programming

language I tried. I read about it on a website and so I thought I want to try it. The language is called open object Rexx 

I installed it on my computer. Then I downloaded documentation. And I read a few pages of documentation. I probably worked with open object Rexx for about a week and then never used it again.

I am sure it would have been fun to make a program in open object rexx. I never made one. Maybe one day I will. Though I doubt it.
