Linux Programming Languages
1. Vi was my beginning but later went to Vim.
2. PHP MyAdmin was my Samba and Server friend but I do not want to touch it in my old age. In any case, I do not have a Network in Australia.
3. Perl was my attraction
Being a Writer this was an attraction.
I quickly settled down on little Abiword which was only28MB when it started.
4. Lyx
No more Latex now but Lyx is a derivative.
5. Abiword
It is my favourite after Bluefish.
Is a word processor with a command line functionality.
It is now over 300MB.
It is my workhorse.
It has its own development package but very few have time for it.
Debian 12.10- - - dropped it.
It came back to Debian in 12.9--.
I would stick with it.
6. C
Linux is written in C and this where I started coding.
7. C++
I did not waste time on C++
9. Python
Python was the one which attracted my interest in Linux.
“Joy of Linux” was the first book I purchased.
The book had a long account on Python.
It is versatile but it is so long like an anaconda, I gave up.
10. Java I really liked when it had Java phones which one could manipulate. One cannot find a Java phone now.
11. JavaScript I hate because it is cross platform.
12. Bash/Shell is unique.
I still read Linux Bible when I decide to look at a shell script for fun.
13. Perl was my attraction until I settled down in Abiword.
14. Go of Google.
I collected its package in Ubuntu which was 1.2GB but when it became 2.4GB, I gave it up. It has gone above that level of 2.4GB, at which level, I stopped counting.
Go is Linux based and buggy and bulky.
15. Ruby
Ruby on rails was Web Development Language which I had a flash when I first developed my first Private Web Page with WordProcess.com (not .og organization which has gone commercial now) long before Google was born. I still have it and I have forgotten my password for Yahoo Mail to open it.
I got my Yahoo Mail, back.
I am going to activate it when I finish with my 5 books, that includes this book.
It is in slow progress.
Linux Essentials reached 450 pages.
It has gone above 600 pages.
I wanted to keep it as it is.
I do not want to delete any component.
It is active but one needs to go on searching for my original web site’s name.
16. Rust is new.
I have no knowledge except Ubuntu trying to Reinvent Linux. It is going to be a either flash in the pan or making money on the go. It was not the intention of Ubuntu Master Guru.
17. Swift
It is macOS which I have no interest.
18. Haskell and compiz compositor is supposed to be Research Work with very little Fat in its Core.
It works on a Black Terminal.
Until it comes out with a simple graphic front, I won’t try it.
19. R is the only statistical package for Linux.
It comes as Octave and is very large package.
I think it was developed in New Zealand.
Not when I was roaming in South Island.
20. PHP
Server side scripting language which has become plump and may become a pest and may take over your system.
