This advice is so god damn retarded I just fucking can't.

C and C++ are not scary languages, people. They were the first languages I learned, and I'm a fucking brainlet.

>muh syntax, muh memory management
Who cares, fags? You're going to have to know these languages eventually, even you're serious at all about computer science. You might as well learn them now. Learning these languages will give you a better understanding of how your computer works, as well. Essential for systems programming.

Suggesting that a beginner should try to learn JAVA before C++ is absolutely batshit retarded. If you know C++, you can easily pick up Java. Not the other way around. In Java, all the memory management is handled for you, so when you start trying to learn C++, you're going to make a lot of mistakes. Doing that shit isn't trivial if you've been used to coding without doing it.

Seriously, just fucking learn C and C++ you goddamn brainlets. If you're smart enough to learn science and mathematics, you can figure that shit out. Most beginner books are written for literal babies, anyway, so you should be able to zip right through them. Jesus Christ, people.

Anyone who says they do math for fun is a giant liar.

Mathematics is not fun. It is hard, grueling work. The end result is a worthy reward, for sure, but that doesn't mean the process is at all satisfying.

The only people who do mathematics as a hobby are masochists.
