(...) Interesting. I wonder how what you know about programming languages affects how you think about them. For example, if you don't know about variables, maybe you develop an intuition for what sorts of methods help you work around them, or maybe (...) (26 years ago, 7-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Hmmm.... this reminds me of when I first learned programming in Scheme. The recursive nature of the language really got a hold of me and made me think of solving programming problems in ways I never thought of before. The problems would have (...) (26 years ago, 7-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) This is sort of off topic, because I don't have too much experience in programming, but I've noticed a similar phenomenon with language... I can remember a time when I didn't speak Japanese, for instance, but I *can't* remember what it was (...) (26 years ago, 7-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I remember the difficulty I had in understanding variables.. 7th grade, about 1978/79, using a TRS-80 (graphics? cool pictures? huh?). The mathlab teacher wanted me to write a program to loop and calculate 1+2+3+4+5+6+... and I happily created (...) (26 years ago, 8-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)
