Do ppl use JavaScript for games? No? It’s all I know rn

@anti c++ is popular with games. c is better though <--- chodomite opinion.

@pernia I get to learn c# next semester, is that close??

@anti Unfortunately, no, it's not close. C# is basically Microsoft Java, made in large part because disagreements and litigation with Sun, who owned Java at the time. As such, it is far removed from either C or C++.
@pernia

@pro @anti @pernia On the plus side, It's also Java that has been tweaked for higher performance a bit. Java tends to copy data constantly when passing things around, while C# has a focus on doing far more by reference and far less by copying. The performance will still be nowhere near a good C, C++, or Rust program though. C# is used in indie games a bit with XNA and Unity.

@kazriko @pernia @anti Indeed C# improves upon Java in various areas. But what anti's really asking is I think "when will I learn the C already". It appears that her uni's curriculum is not particularly friendly for students who want to study fundamentals of computers.

@pro @anti @pernia I've always found that the answer to that is "when you pick up a book and learn it yourself" because most universities you have to go outside the curriculum to learn many pieces of computers.

@pro @kazriko @anti anti what exactly are you studying?

@pernia @pro @kazriko programming an web dev.
But in reality it has only Been English class and pseudocode

@anti @kazriko @pro its a lot of pseudo code at first from what i hear. they might eventually teach you java and c++, so if you're getting bored you could skip ahead and learn those. also grab a few books on programming algorithms. also lern c it helps for c++ plus its g00d
