I am thinking if i need to learn all programming languages. Now that I know C++ for MFC
nothing more
I am thinking learning java but it seems hard and I am running out of time to joke with programing languaghes.
In my job my position I am thinking
I will hire some people, each of whom good at one programming language, and I think I am smart doing business after all
Im far from a C++ Jedi, but I understood "programming" to be language neutral.
Once you've grasp the concept of "programming," then the only barrier to learn a new language is syntax.
Actually it's a combination of syntax and approach. Different languages can take drastically different approaches to solving the same problem, even if their syntax looks similar. Trips people up trying to migrate between languages sometimes.
Yes, and from a life view whichever language earns one more $$$ then it definitely is better
I agree..
I had written some code in Cpp for my game engine and now
wanted to speed it up with some SIMD assembly language.
The approach was totally different and i was lost for a while...
I ended up tossing the entire code and starting out fresh.
Maybe because you are instilled with full of programming languages, you no longer sound like an amateur with dreams for different jobs different peopleQuote:

Can you post an example ?Quote:

Take ANY code and port it to SSE and you will see what i mean...Quote:

In most cases i can produce the same algorithm in the same amount of lines.
But highly optimized code can become unreadable because of fancy bithacks.
The biggest failure in any assembly optimising task is starting with C++ code, or compiled-to-assembly-c++ and fiddling some instructions around hoping to squeeze a clockcycle here or there.Quote:

Going to assembly language is a costly operation in time of an experienced programmer, if all you get out of that is a clockcycle here or there, it's a wasted effort.
Personally, I don't even bother to begin with assembly unless I'm conviced I can at the least get a 3x (yes, times, not 3%) speedup. It's just not worth it otherwise.
Thanks everyone I am quite clear.
About assembly problem, yes, I agree there is nothing free, one way or the other, things done must deserve some partcular price even a msall tip that must exist in the business transact
I think what's important to note about different programming languages is that they all have a particular focus.
Picking the right language for the job can be half the job done already in some cases.
Know what a programming language is good at (and bad at), then pick the right tool for the job. Don't get stuck on a language simply because a job can technically be done with it.
What focus is that ?Quote:

An OO language isn't meant solely for OO problems
Yes, this is true.Quote:

Someone just means to master it but then loses almost everything for the waste of time. My sons are mono-language(C/C++) masters. They seem to know nothing else as the job/tasks are assigned by different parts of him, employees.
I used to have time unable to figure this out correctly and get insults until I received no paychecks the job cut.
Yes, definitely.Quote:

All programming languages? Are you aware of haw many exists? Check this site to get an idea: http://99-bottles-of-beer.net/.Quote:
