| Sahuagin 05/30/19 10:51:07 PM #12: | I do know the feeling of the absurdly slow pace of classes. part of it, I guess, is that it's not just about learning it, but proving you learn it. also, it's not about the specific things you're learning, but getting a broad education. you're learning to learn. if you think "I can teach myself this stuff way faster", that's it, that's exactly right. the class is a resource for you to use to help you teach yourself the content (and to prove that you did). Yellow posted... JavaScript is basically a slightly different C# if I was a jerk I would say something like: this shows that you don't know either language very well at all. (I mean, if you said that in an interview, that would be a huge red flag to me.) they are sort of superficially syntactically similar... sort of. but, I mean, they're not really the same at all. like, even a little. just about any code you could post would have all kinds of semantic differences and pitfalls depending which of the two languages it was from. you could maybe say that "Java is basically a slightly different C#" (or vice-versa), and there'd be a little truth to that, but it would still be arguable. you could probably say that "VB.NET is basically a slightly different C#", but even then there'd be a long list of exceptions. but javascript vs C#? there's not so much a long list of differences as there is an extremely short list of similarities. Yellow posted... I could write a C# interpreter at this point well, it might not be that hard to *start* writing a C# interpreter (in C#). but like, good luck with type inference and generics and covariance, etc.etc. I have myself written an interpreter, but only by using an extremely constrained language and syntax. writing an interpreter for a general-purpose language is no small feat. --- ...
