Start learning at 50
I’ve always wanted to learn programming. I’ve read a blog post saying that at this age it was to late . Then I read a post here in saying the opposite. I’ve found a site that was learn x in y minutes where it has a bunch of languages there. After reading them, the languages that caught my attention were Julia, Clojure and Go. Are any of these good for a beginner or should I start with something else? I know what are variables, can spot an if/else statement but that’s about it. What are some good resources for someone like me who likes to learn by doing things?
Clojure could be fascinating for you to learn. It is a different type of language from more common industry standards, but it still has a good adoption and is used by many companies. Clojure for the Brave and True is commonly recommended as a starting point. The Land of Lisp is excellent as well.
