I’ve had “actually learning how to code” on my radar for a while now, and for the past few weeks I’ve bee considering just throwing myself into the deep end and learning C++1, but aside from the one online resource that is dedicated to teaching people C++ from the ground up, everywhere is like “if you’re new to programming, you should start with Python bc it’s way easier”
Idk if I buy that methodology per se, but it does leave me wondering if I should just start by learning Lua to start off with? Since that would allow me to actually create concrete things I want to see (fighting game training mode scripts for BizHawk and the like). Much to consider, it would seem.
