Linux Programming Languages

I am a Medical Guy in retirement.

 I cannot believe I did most of my Linux working while active in service and also Teaching Pathology. 

Thanks to Google Blog Post I posted then from 2011.

I am picking them and revisiting them while writing a Big Book on Linux with some nostalgia. 

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.

 

3. Perl was my attraction

Being a Writer this was an attraction and quickly settle down on 28MB Abiword.

 

4. Lyx and Gambas (no more Latex now but it's derivatives)

 I yesterday found that Chinese guys have come out with LATEX.

No wonder with so many characters in their language they have to fiddle with LaTex.

 

LaTEX is the Original but NOT Proprietary. 

 

4. Abiword

Is a word processor and a command line functionality.

It is over 250MB and is my work horse and it has its development package but very few has time for it.

 

Debian 12.10- - - dropped it so, I will stick with 12.9--.

 

1. C

Linux is written in C and this where I started coding.

 

2. C++

I did not waste time on C++

 

3. Python

Python was the one which attracted to me on Linux in the book Joy of Linux. It is versatile but so long I gave up.

 

4. Java I really liked when it had Java phones which one could manipulate. 

 

One cannot find a Java phone now.

 

5. JavaScript I hate because it is cross platform.

 

6. Bash/Shell is unique

I still read Linux Bible when I decide to look at a shell script for fun.

 

Latest Linux Bible is by the side of me. 

 

7.  Perl was my attraction until I settled down in Abiword.

 

8. Go of Google.

I collected its package in Ubuntu which was 1.2GB when it became 2.4GB, I gave it up.

It has over 75 lines of code at which level I stopped counting

 

Go is Linux based and BULKY.

 

9. Ruby

Ruby on rails was web development language which I had a little flash when I first developed my first Private Web Place 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 Yahoo.Mail (I am going to activate it when I am ready with the 5 books, currently working on, with very slow progress. By the way, Linux Essentials is reaching 500 pages). 

I want it keep (WordPress) it as it is and I do not want to post any more there. 

It now active but one need to go searching for my web site’s name.

 

10. Rust is new and I have no knowledge except Ubuntu trying to Reinvent Linux. It is going to be  either flash in the pan or making money which was not the intention of Ubuntu Master GURU.

 

11. Swift

It is macOS which I have no interest.

 

13.  Haskell and compiz compositor is supposed to be for Research Work with very little FAT in its CORE.

It is on black terminal and until it becomes with a simple graphic front, I won’t try it.

 

14. 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.

 

15. PHP

Server side scripting language which has become plump and may be a pest and takes over your system.
