Hi, everyone

TL;DR - post below your suggestion for a good programming language for an almost-rookie teacher/educator/writer to start using.

More info: I am trying to decide on which programming language to learn. I know my way around HTML and CSS from being active online, but haven’t done much programming apart from this. I write, teach, and work with digital teaching/learning products a lot. In 2021, I think there will be plenty of time for me to start working with programming. I don’t mean just “learn to code” - I mean using the language(s) as an educator/writer/publisher. Libre / open source context preferred. Which languages look like they fit the bill, Lemmy?

    Someone who is always eager to let you know that whatever it is you’re doing would be done better in LispLanguage. Why? Don’t ask, they can’t explain it to the rest of us. The wise course is to stay clear and wait for them to go extinct.
    Nonsense, they can and will explain it. Some of it isn’t true, but a lot of it is.

    And whether they actually are able to explain it or not, quite often they will try. And this is not necessarily a good thing, depending on whether your ride’s leaving.
