I don't really think you can beat Java. There is a freely available IDE. It creates applications for (large install base). It is an object oriented language. The syntax is straightforward (you don't have to deal with complex point nomenclature, unless you want to for speed). Its a modern language that is as simple or complex as you want.
Forces new people to develop basically good habits re: code structure and use of whitespace for readability
Just give them a good editor from the get-go and it doesn't really matter. Learning about manually managing your memory is arguably important as well and (the basics) easy to teach.
Processing is a good alternative, btw. Easy and you can do *lots* of fun stuff with very little code and explanation. You also start with a boilerplate.
You can code on a smartphone. If you want to. In this regard C, PHP, Java and Python are much more accessible than VB, which you can maybe write on a smartphone, but not compile.
So the [bought] review compares Samsung's latest [tech] against a [competitor] [tech] from [n] years ago that is essentially [x] [tech] generations old.
FTFY. Standard Samewrung practice, nothing to see here. Move along.
Strange, you seem to have posted much more, but all I hear is:
Unprotected sex with <insert STD here>-people is totally safe. Now please STFU until you've actually had unprotected sex with <insert STD here>-positive people.
Apparently, you're the idiot, because the fact that systemD integrates itself so closely with my GNU^H^H^HSystemD/Linux as PID 1 with a crapload of bloat (that leads to irrecoverable crashes that are marked as wontfix), is against the unix philosophy of doing one thing and doing it good.
Go back to Lennart and continue to suck up to each other. Stupid hipster.
Oh, and while you're listening, get off my lawn!
I was referring to SoA, so yeah, it's a wrapper around its interface (since it already has one, as we're not talking about 80's legacy stuff, though even that had interfaces).
Irritates to no end those people who think that coding for node is a skillset superior to jscript itself.
Of course it is superior, just like knowing RoR is superior to knowing just Ruby. You might want to reformulate your point, as it seemingly didn't quite come across the way you intended to, unless your point was to make you look stupid.
you're not going to orphan an existing code base to switch to another language and waste your time essentially re-inventing your wheel.
Only think that is generally considered in such cases is writing a wrapper around it and calling it a (legacy) black box. But who in their right mind would ever write a wrapper around the JVM for.net, except maybe emscripten?
When haven't you recently turned on your computer only to have Java say an update is ready to install, and then pop up it's really slow installer to do it (that tries to install Ask.com as your homepage to boot)?
I don't do Windows, you insensitive clod. Things don't "pop up" and say updates are needed. Also, the reference implementation is OpenJDK.
Don't get me wrong, Java (and the JVM) has it's flaws, but to bind myself to MS stuff again? Fool me once...

SCNR.
I suggested processing in another post. Best of both worlds.
It's also much easier to depoly your applications.
Welcome to 2015. The age of smartphones and phablets.

Exactly, what can C do that python can't efficiently?
FTFY. It's a scripting language. Can be a decent one (e.g. if you don't mind the whitespace), but still a scripting language.

You've won today's moron of the internet award.
Right, because I'm the one resorting to an ad hominem.
Unprotected sex with <insert STD here>-people is totally safe.

I've done enough research to not let it close to my systems. Ever.
Right. Must have been a Freudian slip. ;)
Thanks for the clarification. Regardless of name, my systems are still off-limits to any software related to the systemd/systemD/SystemD "project".

Go look in your own backyard, before trying to shit in someone else's, punk.
now, with thieves and crooks running the country.
Wow, what a remarkably naive thing to think. Pray tell, when was Ru^H^Hany country not run by "thieves and crooks?"
So, BADTIMBERS (basement-dwelling tissue mountain builders)?
Not bad, but doesn't have the same ring to it as hipster.
Yep, had my 2007 MBP's logic board replaced (way) out of warranty, without even having a receipt.
Props to Apple for that!
You spend hours working with tweezers under a microscope, bake your PCB, and end up with a dead circuit board. Very frustrating.
But it's very satisfying to then say "fuck it," throw it in the garbage bin and go outside for a while.

Duh, redact it by putting a black rectangle over the feed.
Microsoft's standard methods of "innovation" have always been to copy, steal or burn.
That's how I read your sentence, so... FTFY ;)

It's a storage medium, not a device.
