A study of GitHub projects and the languages used to build them finds that certain language characteristics are more likely to result in better software. Imperative programmers, throw off your shackles! You have nothing to lose but determinate behaviour. And mutability.
"Languages with unmanaged memory type introduce more memory errors." Shocking!

Many are suggesting that everyone learn computer programming, and that coding be a core component of our educational system. Here's a more measured approach. Step 1: Learn to think
|
|
|
|
|
everyone needs to learn to ...
Cook, clean, sew, fix things, budget, etc.
|
|

That'd be much more valuable 
After cooking a few meals outside of my parents house, I quickly installed a fire-alarm. It has saved my arse quite some times.
The text that "everyone should learn programming" is coming from some outdated dimwits from the teaching-industry that does not even know the difference between "operating" a computer and "programming" one. Schooling should be banned, and education reinstated.

You're right. Priorities are important.

That's why I didn't marry you.

But we could have been so happy together!

Not if you can't cook!

You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Kids nowadays never use punctuation. I'm guessing the semicolons rule out C#.

Back in my day we didn't have debug points. We used printf and we liked it.

I can see teaching code as a good way to introduce logic, but then it would just be a tool as opposed to a goal in itself.

The eminent Martin Fowler recently wrote about the importance of not being afraid to bin old solutions and implement brand new architecture. Should IT architects leave old solutions or start fresh? "Some men just want to watch the world burn."

Globally, I assume Android is ahead by far. (remember numerous hardware manufacturers for Android compared to 1 hardware manufacturer for iOS )

For $25 a year, Google will keep a copy of any genome in the cloud. Think of it as a backup?
Also, "Gee, what's the worst that could happen?"
