| Jul 3, 2012 at 15:07 | comment | added | Kevin Flynn | So, you only know the modern languages because the others are "old" and irrelevant. I guess you never want a job updating old code, or a large corporation that says "We have a large codebase still in C, how's your C skills?" (God forbid they still use COBOL, you're just horked there) | |

| Jul 3, 2012 at 6:33 | comment | added | fredoverflow | @DanDan Haskell is over 20 years old by now, and standard Haskell is just as old as standard C++ (they're both from 1998). | |
| Jul 3, 2012 at 0:16 | comment | added | rlperez | Programmers, real programmers, don't learn languages. They learn paradigms. | |

| Jul 2, 2012 at 15:37 | comment | added | DanDan | Haskell is fairly new... | |
| Jul 2, 2012 at 15:05 | comment | added | Matthieu M. | For a young programmer, you have too many assumptions. Get rid of them, they are clouding your mind. | |
| Jul 2, 2012 at 9:35 | comment | added | Paul Cager | I would recommend having look at "Seven Languages in Seven Weeks - "pragprog.com/book/btlang/seven-languages-in-seven-weeks". It will give you a good idea about the different families of programming languages. | |
| Jul 2, 2012 at 9:03 | comment | added | Ubermensch | IMO, Haskell is just great when you happen to be a mathematician and could think everything as a function. | |

| Jul 2, 2012 at 8:42 | comment | added | SK-logic | You will have to learn C if you'll ever have to deal with anything low level enough (microcontrollers, for example). This language is not going to age and there is no viable substitution (besides Forth, which you've branded as "outdated" as well). | |

| Jul 2, 2012 at 7:57 | comment | added | leftaroundabout | Where did you get "Haskell and ... have lost their popularity" from? | |
| Jul 2, 2012 at 7:06 | comment | added | Nils | There is no such thing as C/C++. I suggest you learn C first, maybe Zed Shaws learn C the hard way is a good start. | |

| Jul 2, 2012 at 6:43 | comment | added | DeadMG | Pretty sure that "What language should I learn next" questions are off-topic? | |

| Jul 2, 2012 at 4:04 | comment | added | Tom Kerr | As long as its fun, what can you possibly lose? Time? Leaning Scheme/LISP was great fun and broadened my perspective, even if I haven't coded it in years. | |

| Jul 2, 2012 at 2:04 | comment | added | Martin | FWIW almost every language has uses - if someone laughs at you for using almost any language (Java is slow, .Net is for M$ bitches, Haskell is impractical, C++ is too old etc) laugh right back at them and tell them about using the right tool for the job ;) | |

| Jul 1, 2012 at 23:07 | comment | added | user1249 | Note that simply being "old" does not automatically mean "bad" by default. Some of the most fantastic programming so far was done on the C64 30 years ago. | |
