The main purpose of this blog post is to make myself think about to the good things and the bad things about a language. What parts of a language can I apply to my favorite language at the time (in other words, what did I learn).

E.g. C++ teaches about the importance of data ownership, which is a good thing even in languages with memory management. Haskell teaches about immutability and a more declarative programming model, which can make your code easier to understand in any programming language (even those without functional programming constructs). Go teaches you can write easy to grasp advanced software without all the added sugar in other programming languages.

Perhaps I should follow a fixed format for each entry in this blog series to make it easier to compare these languages.

Some possible sections:

• Why did I learn this language?
• A hello world example (when applicable).
• The good, the bad and the ugly about the language.
• What can you learn from this language? (and is applicable in other languages)
• Why would you learn this language (or not).
