It has been a long time since I learned a new language honey the codewitch8-Oct-21 13:24 honey the codewitch 8-Oct-21 13:24  I learned a little bit of python recently, but just enough to port some win 3.1 FON file loading code to something else so I don't think that applies here since I wasn't writing python code, just reading it. I do have problems switching up between the various isms of different languages. C# and C++ for example, in C# I find myself omitting the new keyword when I declare new stack items because of C++. I am thinking of exploring Rust some. Maybe after that I'd be able to answer this survey better.
