a website about my video games. I think
want to have a building named after them. Do you know what I want. I want to make a programming language and name it after myself. I could called it Oatmeal Breakfast programming language.
What a name. Not. I suppose I have always wanted to make a programming language. That will probably never happen. And I assure you the world is not missing the programming language that I never made.
Basic4gl is another programming I was going to say language but, I could also say IDE I have tried. And failed at. I was looking through some old blog posts on another blog I have and found a post about it. Otherwise I would never remember I had used it.
I installed it on my computer years ago. I had visions of myself making games with it. I probably went though one or two tutorials and then forgot about Basic4gl.
I was searching my brain for other programming languages I have dabbled in and I found one. I tried using the D programming language. I don’t remember how long I used it. I am sure I compiled a hello world program with d. That is probably about all I did.
You know what would have been better than only writing a hello world program in a few programming languages. Writing programs that people want to use. Have people fork my programs on github or follow me on github.
I wanted to program when I got a computer. Now I don’t think computers are as great as I used to but, I like them OK. And I want to build a program that one person uses. That will be my new years resolution in September. I am going to write a program that within 20 years someone will use. Hopefully.
I have also tried fortran. I believe I used the open-watcom fortran 77 compiler. I also program read a page or two of a wiki book about fortran. I had visions of becoming a great fortran programmer.
The amount of time I spent with the fortran compiler was what dashed my hopes of fortran greatness. I never spent much time using the fortran compiler.
Maybe I am dabbler in programming languages. Maybe all I like saying is that I tried this or that programming language. Maybe I don’t want to put in the work to be a great programming.
When I wrote put in the work it made me think of maybe I do not want to put in the seat time to become a great programmer. Since if I did want to be a great programmer I would have to spend a lot of time siting.
Or I suppose I could use a standing desk.
Lisp is another programming language I have tried. I installed on my computer. I had read an article about Lisp being a powerful. So I thought why not try it. I must have read a tutorial on the lisp in a box website. Wrote a hello world program. And that was it. Lisp was then gone for my life for good.
I might want to try Lispbox eventually.
I read about the Go programming language and thought I like that name. So I installed the compiler on my computer. I probably read a page of a tutorial and even compiled a go program. Then go left my life for good.
I know I played around with a forth programming language IDE. I don’t remember which IDE is was. Maybe it was Gforth I did not use forth very long but, I did read a page or two of a tutorial.
Yet another programming language I tried is Berkeley Logo. I think I read about the logo programming language was in Dealers of Lightning. Seymour Papert was fascinating to me. So I had to try logo.
So I read some of a book on the Berkeley logo website. I might have even learned how to move the logo turtle around. Then one day Logo left my life for good. I never looked back.
Another programming language that i tired is the Lua programming language. I want to program in Lua because I want to try out Love a 2d game framework. I may have done a little bit of a tutorial that was on the Lua website. Other than that I didn’t do much programming in Lua.
Javascript is another programming language I have tried. I think the first time I programmed in javascript was not long after I got my fist computer. Alas I have never written much javascipt code. Recently I read Javascript absolute beginners guide. I hope I can remember what I read in the book so that i can write javascript.
I am also going through khan academy’s javascript tutorials or are they classes.
