Nothing super exciting to report. 1. I've fallen into the rabbit hole that is Elite: Dangerous, and I'm super, super hooked. 2. Trying to find a balance with the stimulants I'm taking, and not burning the candle at both ends. It's fun but exhausting, so I need to figure out how not to push myself quite as hard. 3. Coding is pretty fun. I'm teaching myself C# as a gateway into full-fledged C. 4. Related to 2 and 3, I've been contemplating frustration tolerance and my emotional responses to learning, how to set goals, that kind of thing. I think I'm on to something.
No way, or at least I've found C# to be much more intuitive. The standard library is a lot more straightforward, and you don't have to do memory management at all if you don't want to. By the same token, you never really have to worry about whether you should pass a variable by reference or by value. Pretty much the only question is whether to make a class static or not.
Two things. One, C != C++. Also, what do you mean by a programming language being x number of pages long?
