[ale] A Hal Fulton Blog article on CompSci degrees

Don't worry about assembler until you have to. If you write C and or C++ efficiently, you'll nearly never need to drop down to assembly language.

It is easier to be efficient in C than it is in c++, but it is possible in both.

Go is nice, conceptually speaking, and a lot of people do great things with it. It is the Ruby of the compiled world. I personally prefer working in c or c++.

Even though Go programs are much larger than an equivalent that I would write in C, they're rarely as big as ruby programs in core. 😀

I have hundreds of dollars in study materials for them but get more done and have more fun with Ruby. I whine about Ruby's resource consumption and then use it anyway.
