If you can't program and write computer software, how do you expect to ever become a magical little girl?

Ok then what language should I learn?

Why does she start off with the complex shit in lesson 2?

C coming from a C++fag, but someone will come into the thread and argue with me about it soon

Doesn't really matter, so long as you learn multiple languages in a short amount of time, although C is a good choice to start with.

Learn C/C++ if you are a man
Learn Ruby if you are ``faggot''

python's pretty easy to pick up, but will give you bad habits if it's your first language

Honestly, if you're just doing it for recreational purposes then start with something easy like Python. If you're interested in doing large scale things or programming seriously, then you might want to look into C/C++, although still getting your feet wet with something more simplistic is fine too. Either way, picking up a language is easy once you've come to understand how programming works anyways, so don't worry too much about it and just have fun.

Perl and LISP for the first ones.

use SICP as a starting point, learn LISP from SICP mainly, but have a few other LISP references (google supplies more than you'll ever need) for when things don't quite click or you can't quite put the theory into practice.

Then learn Perl, it won't be nearly as hard as learning LISP (the first is always the hardest), and will teach you a good bit more in terms of general programming application (you'll really use the stuff you learned from SICP, as the concepts from SICP are important, but the methods that they are taught with are not all encompassing of what you can really do with them).

Then, onto C/C++ and Python, the last 2.5 languages you'll ever need to learn in the by-far future, and the ones you'll spend most of your actual programming career/hobbystuff programming in.

I hope to reach satori soon

Good luck. And don't become discouraged. Programming is a life-long hobby, it can take a few years before you can consider yourself to be good at it.
