About Language Preference
2013.01.24 15:55:54Often times when you ask a programmer about what he works with, he'll tell you that he has to code in X for work and doesn't like it, but uses Y for personal projects because Y is so much more handy and appealing. Sometimes you'll get an answer that X and Y are the same. Rarely you'll get the answer that there isn't really a preference, but there's just one that is used most often, for one reason or another. Some people even get very enthusiastic up until extremely defensive about their language of choice, something I'd like to avoid doing. Regardless, I've been asked to state my personal preference and opinion on programming languages of today a while back and I'm here to answer that query.

About Learning Languages
2012.11.16 22:51:36I've been studying Japanese for quite a while now. It's been several months and I've gone through a load of grammar, vocabulary and Kanji. I've often wondered what the best way would be to go about learning a new language, especially one that is as distinct and different as Japanese. As a moderately advanced human in the 21st century, I've of course taken it upon myself to research on the subject, so that I could do as little as possible and still be able to actually learn. I've read many blog entries and articles about studying Japanese and the individual pieces of advice they give could be almost as different from each other as Japanese is from my own native one.
