@hrefna yeeeesh. We feel like as a kid we learned like a weird bastardised combination of C and Python? and that has just absolutely stuck with us, and then we learned C#......... of the terrible projects we created in C# we hall not speak

@12 My first language was hypertalk, which is a bizarre language but also a very cool one.

It's _really_ hard to shake early paradigms with languages. I'm generally of the view that languages are easy, but learning the ecosystem is difficult and learning paradigms is difficult

I've seen programmers with decades of experience segfault entirely when running into a different paradigm.

So you aren't alone in that, and in this case they picked up none of the things that makes that patternโ€ฆ work.

@hrefna yeah, the paradigm we learned was... very C-style. Very very C. Not that we can hack it in C; the only thing we ever wrote in C were some truly dirty Linux kernel hacks
