I totally agree with you! Actually, now I prefer the domain which is not too low but not too high neit= her, in a word, I think being a system programmer should be cool. - by > On Mar 17, 2014, at 21:22, Johan Bucht <jbucht@gmail.com> wrote: >=20 > As there are different strengths and weaknesses resulting from the design d= ecisions chosen for the different languages, learn as many different types a= s you can and experience how they shape solutions to problems in different w= ays and how you reason about them. >=20 > "I have never met anybody who has changed their reasoning first and their h= abits second.
