Where have all the programming kids gone nowadays? Thanks however for pointing out that the scope of Programmers.SE has changed. This kind of explains what happened here. I do however mind receiving an amout of downvotes comparable to some bad trolling/rants question ... this is surely not what's meant by enforcing good subjective questions (meta.programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/350). Closing is the right option if the question is not appropriate here ... |

Where have all the programming kids gone nowadays? Thank you Rachel, I know that there is probably not the answer to my question, nontheless there are many types of serious answers I could think of: "Statistic XY shows a decline by 45% in forum activity/site traffic for ... from 2007 to now", "Sales of .NET programming books increased by 300% in comparison to VBC", "Questions on forum XY shiftet ... from system to web programming languges by 85%". These I think would be valuable information to have |

Where have all the programming kids gone nowadays? Wow, -4 on the question and no one bothers to explain what's wrong? That's embarrassing! Please point out why this isn't a constructive question in the sense of programmers.stackexchange.com/… |

Where have all the programming kids gone nowadays? @Tjaart: Yes, I do not advocate VB as a first language at all, it was just to explain my background. So surely kids are doing different things; and I just wanted to know what these are. |

Where have all the programming kids gone nowadays? Could downvoters please care to explain why? Also: I know this question is subjective, but if this isn't the appropriate place to ask, please name another? This isn't Stackoverflow after all |

Why is every programming language “powerful”? Powerful is a very subjective category. One might sometimes be able to agree on one core language being more powerful than another one. E.g. C++ vs. C or VB6 vs Scala. If one includes the different use-cases, things are complicated again - like comparing apples to bananas. |

Languages on a resume: Is it better to put “C/C++” or “C, C++”? Everything is a superset of a subset of C. |

What are your suggestions on learning how to think? Functional programming teaches to think. Everything else teaches to programm ;) |

Is there a programming language with not a tree but tags idea behind OOP? I want tag-based filesystems too :) Any hints? What's the current state-of-art? |

Is there a programming language with not a tree but tags idea behind OOP? @kolupaev: Certain things are modelled well by trees, other things aren't. Inheritance has it's place, tags have other uses - take both where appropriate, everything else would be useless ideology ;) |

Is there a programming language with not a tree but tags idea behind OOP? @Slomojo: Yes. One easily gets distracted by the fact that interfaces kinda look like ordinary inheritance in languages like C#, though they're fundamentally different. One should be able to add them one the fly, without changing the underlying type. Currently, Haskell typeclasses have modelled best what interfaces could be like. |
