About Learning New Languages


Listen Later

Everyone's favorite idempotent podcast returns to discuss learning new languages and concepts. Can mixing and matching new concepts and syntax help or hinder language adoption? A new concept but a familiar syntax might make a language easier for all the drifting Javascript developers to grab on to.

Lars considers picking up a lisp at some point.

It's harder to pick up new languages when you're mainly keen on building. Lars is very much in a building phase. He has problems, but they are his problems.

Lars is currently learning - among other things - by working with other people, putting himself out there, and arranging a conference.
