TL;DR - post below your suggestion for a good programming language for an almost-rookie teacher/educator/writer to start using.
More info:
I am trying to decide on which programming language to learn. I know my way around HTML and CSS from being active online, but haven’t done much programming apart from this. I write, teach, and work with digital teaching/learning products a lot.
In 2021, I think there will be plenty of time for me to start working with programming. I don’t mean just “learn to code” - I mean using the language(s) as an educator/writer/publisher. Libre / open source context preferred.
Which languages look like they fit the bill, Lemmy?
I actually haven’t heard of SXML, so I meant regular lisp. For me, I just mean
that this is pretty tree-based, so far as I can tell (I’m not an actual
programmer, though, which might be the issue with my understanding):
(defun foo (bar baz)
(if (predicate)
(do if true)
(do if false)))
Oh, well if you just mean a formatting thing – you can format a source file however you want :) But yeah, that’s not really the popular way to do it. For me, just the opening tags + indentation work well enough to delimit everything, but to each their own.
