在某个论坛上看到有人在问——“Which programming language should I learn first？”，看到了下面的这个回答，有点意思。
Depends.
* To program in an expressive and powerful language: Python
* To get a website up quickly: PHP
* To mingle with programmers who call themselves “rockstars”: Ruby.
* To really learn to program: C.
* To achieve enlightenment: Scheme.
* To feel depressed: SQL
* To drop a chromosome: Microsoft Visual Basic
* To get a guaranteed, mediocre, but well paying job writing financial applications in a cubicle under fluorescent lights: Java.
* To do the same thing with certifications and letters after your name: C#
* To achieve a magical sense of childlike wonder that you have a hard time differentiating from megalomania: Objective C
I could go on… but I’m not feeling hateful enough today.
翻译如下：
看你的需要了。
* 如果你想找一门表达力和功能都很强的语言：Python
* 如果你想更快速地开发WEB程序：PHP
* 如果你想和那些“摇滚明星”的程序员为伍：Ruby
* 如果你想学真正的编程：C
* 如果你想顿入空门的话：Scheme
* 如果你想压抑的话：SQL
* 如果你想基因突变成为非人类的话：Microsoft Visual Basic
* 如果你想要得到一个有保证的，但普普通通的，收入还不错的，在一间小卧室的荧光灯下写一些金融应用的工作：Java
* 如果你想在你的名字后放上一些认证和证书：C#
* 如果你想得到一些很像在自大狂和孩子气区分的那种魔幻般的感觉：Objective C
我还可以再写去，因为今天我还没有感到很恶心。
