- Put Free Pascal in here cause why not (I looks nice and I have played around with it)

Pascal still has a special place in my hart, having work with it so many
years, with Lazarus ( http://www.lazarus-ide.or. ) you get a free multi-platform devellopement environement that enable you to write code and port it easily on multi platform .

But honestly it might have lost a lot of traction.

Myself I'm considering swift for my next project since now it's been open sourced by apple and IBM is porting it to cloud applications. And it's fast.

Just my 2 cents

My Pascal goes back to the days of DOS and Turbo Pascal. Actually, no, back to TP3 on CP/M. :) I have a soft spot for Pascal as well, and the path of least resistance for me will be relearning Pascal using FPC/Lazarus.

Maybe I will try out Common Lisp oneday but it isn't a must.

Remember Lisp from the day I was develloping tool for autocad. That was fun I like working with stack.

What about D? Nim? (I just don't really want to get involved with Swift,
not that I have anything against it but I like other languages).

Hear of D not familiar with nim. Will check.

For someone who want to learn a pure object oriented language smallTalk is a good place to look to. The concept you lean there is usefull when you go to other OO language like java, c# etc.

In the period I was using, smallTalk was written like 90% in smallTalk.

something like :

1 + 2

is actually interpreted as something like this:

An object of the type number with the property of 1 is sent a message called "+" ( you can see it as a method ) passing as a parameter an object of type number with the property of 2

in smallTalk everything is either an object or a message to it.

Wow. I believed that turbo pascal was a dos only product. It was in cp/m too! Cool

Yes, TP 3 was the last version available for CP/M I used it on both the Apple // (with Z80 Softcard) and the Microbee (an Australian Z80 based machine).

I thought it would be a good idea to put toghether a to-do ist of
languages to learn.

For me I think starting at an easy high-level language like Java or
Python is the way to go and then you work your way down to lower level languages.

This is my hierachy of order in which I want to learn them:

- Java

ew

- Python

good for beginners.

- D

One must have both natively compiled languages (D) and interpreted
languages (Java and Python). That's how I and I know a lot of others feel.

Java is compiled, not interpreted. However Java does use a sort of virtual machine, which allows you to run compiled Java code on any platform.

Python also compiles to bytecode; not machine code.

Perhaps that's more transparent than it is with Java? Typically with Python, there is no specific 'compile' step as there is with Java - When I've worked with Java, the typical use is that you run the Python code directly with the Python interpreter.
