Linux Programming Languages

 

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 buts it's derivatives)

5. Abiword

Is a word processor and a command line functionality.

It is now over 300MB and it 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--

 

Summary

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

 

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 have it up. It has gone above that and 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 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 am going to activate it when I am ready with my 5 books.

It is in slow progress.

Linux Essentials is reaching 450 pages. It has gone above 600 pages, now.

I wanted to keep it as it is and I do not want to delete it. It is active but one needs 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 a 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 Research Work with very little Fat in its Core.

It is on a black terminal.

Until it comes 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 become a pest and may take over your system.
