Rust is where it's at. Think of c but a little safer. I learned c from kerningham and Richie. I remember in '77 when my brother Leon was talking to me on the phone. I was in 9th grade. He was a grown up. He started to describe a computer that he was working on in his job. He described Unix to me. He said it would be a good idea if I ever came across Unix to go learn it. It was interesting and worth a career. 3 years later, I fell into a technical support job that involved entry-level Motorola Tandy xenix systems. And the first Intel Unix systems. And I was handed kerningham and Richie and told to go learn C while doing tech support. And a rocketing career was born. I am one of the original old geeks. I'm a gray beard. I'm not part of the original Unix group. I'm not one of those brilliant originalists. I'm a hanger on. But it was fun hanging on.

Closest I got to "real programming" was Pascal in school, and still like the "main loop and functions" construction. Then my first real world use of computers was Macromedia Dreamweaver and Adobe PageMaker doing static websites and newspapers. Then prototyping office automation in MS Access before turning it into a multi-user web app on a SQL back end; Active Server Pages, then PHP. Couple web developer gigs on PHP and Postgres/MySQL. I've done my own Linux server admin when this was all new, but now I just want to click a button to install an app then start creating "content." I'm glad there are people who like doing the back-end stuff, but I'm not one of them any more. -- Drew
