  • A given programming language often has limitations which are largely different than the limitations from others. This means that different languages are often used on different kinds of problems. Want something fast, use C. Want to write something quickly, use python. Want it to run on just about anything, use Java. And so on.

    So why don’t we make one ultimate one or a few that fulfill all needs? Well, partially because we haven’t figured out how to do that, but also it’s really easy to learn yet another language once your understand how they work. I can write in python, js, c, c++, c#, Java, kotlin, rust, perl, ruby, php, forth, lisp, and I could keep on going for quite a while. The underlying concepts are largely the same and so picking up a new language is no big deal (though being good at it is a bigger deal). We have so many because ultimately it just doesn’t really matter that we have so many.




  • Final fantasy 7. But for a different reason. I tried playing that game many times wayyy after it’s release but I just couldn’t get into it. But I got really big into final fantasy 6 and I got really big into other JRPGs, so it wasn’t that the gameplay was bad just that the 3d graphic hasn’t aged well. But I also played some pretty crusty PlayStation 1 games back in the day, so it’s not like if I didn’t play it at the right time I wouldn’t have loved it. But just cuz I didn’t play it around release, cuz I didn’t know about it I was a kid, kind of missed out on an entire thing.

    I like the remake but, I don’t think it’s the same.
