never heard of it, but it looks cool

You can't do anything with Ruby, I'm just learning it so It will be easier to learn Objective -C!

You found it! ZOMG That's the thing I had on my computer! I didn't remember it and it was deleted somehow. THANK YOU!

I heard of it - but such a weird name

me too

that's why i gave up so easily

that's why i'm learning java now

What?  Java?  I'm learning that as my 5th language, and it's not a beginner programmer's language!  Start with Python is my suggestion.

Ruby builds SO many bad habits.  Go with Python 3 instead.  Just a thought.

is there something wrong with me learning java?

why can't i learn it?

why do you assume i am a beginner programmer?

Because you said you gave up.  But if you're not, then do you consider it a good programming language for beginners?  Most people who are new-to-programming will take one look at class Java { public static void main (String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello World!"); } } and run away instantly.  I mean, 'public static void'?  And the average non-programmer won't skip the 'main' in their account of complexness.  And String args[].  And the pretty long hierchy for a simple print statement compared to the usual plain print().  And then there's the punctuation.  Alright, just typing this to pass the time while I wait for the 60 second rule to let me post.

I gave up cause I wanted to.


If ruby won't let me  make a simple game, I don't want it to make a simple game for me.

I'm not a beginner programmer. You're a beginner at your social skills, thank you very much.

Right.  Er, sorry about that.  But you know, I made a simple game in Ruby.  And yeah, my only social experience comes from debugging programs with Harakou and a few others on the forums.

downloading it now

And what bad habits are those? I think Ruby would actually be good for learning Objective-C, because they both have Smalltalk-like characteristics.

I tried it, very buggy.

You can learn Objective C with it? That must be a big help, cause its so hard. Meh, I don't have a mac so.....yeah.
