And the results are in!

  • Pico C
  • Rust
  • Free Pascal
  • Joint with Pico C++, MicroZig and Yarg.
  • So, what am I going to do? Well, I'm leaning towards porting the existing Arduino C code to the Pico C SDK. I'm currently using one class for encapsulation and abstraction, but I could replace that with structs and static functions. I'm not a great C programmer, but I'm pretty comfortable with it, so it makes sense

    However, before I do that, I see a bigger challenge of getting a good setup without using VS Code. I've been using #NeoVim for a while now, and I'd like to get a comfortable setup using that on #Linux.

    So, I'm going to try to build Blinky projects for at least Pico C, Rust and Free Pascal, using Linux and NeoVim. Hopefully this will give me a better feel for how well these languages actually suit me. I've never done any Rust before, either, so that's going to be quite the learning curve!

    If I have time, I'm going to give Yarg a go, too, because I think the premise is really cool. If I'm on a roll, I'll try #MicroZig too.

    And if I really feel like I have the capacity, I'll port the code to one of these other languages.

    I'm acutely aware of all the other projects I've given myself to do, such as the SIBO SDK and other small Psion-related projects, not to mention $dayjob and $reallife. So we'll see how things go!

    Место Питона, Си и Паскаля в образовательном процессе

    В то время как одни пытаются обосновать, какой язык лучше в качестве средства обучения программированию школьников, посмотрим на вопрос с другого угла. Ведь не только языки бывают разными, также не всегда одинаковы цели обучения, методики (подходы), обучаемые. Поэтому вероятно в одних случаях может быть лучше один язык, в других — иной. Подробнее

    This has nothing to do with Ruby but whatever 🤷‍♂️

    After all these years, I found the := operator again — the one I used back in college with Pascal and Delphi… now in Go.

    I will try to stay as universal as I can. And #java is a good platform-independent language.

    I did #pascal, even #assembler a long time ago.

    What I like is object orientated programming, not dealing with #ram allocation by myself ;)

    Perhaps I will have a look at #rust and #go, thanks for the suggestions!

    They really help.
