Why do we teach C? Because its what we teach. Gotta learn them pointers and memory management. In case you're one of the 2% of programmers who use pointers and memory management.
Eh, maybe more than 2%. but .. yeah, explicit pointers. Was required to learn them in HS and college CS, proceeded to not use them at all in the next 15 years of programming. Coulda done with *any* functional programming background, through.pic.twitter.com/TUt8M6usJk
Anyway, my semester task is to figure out how to teach pointers... more nicer and more gooder than I was taught pointers.pic.twitter.com/7hgX1C51Wc
If anyone has insights (especially from more contemporary CS experience) of: "The time I realized something I wish I'd know about memory and pointers, eg" I'd be happy to hear it! Best I can do is scaffold this info so that it ends up useful *regardless* of where they go next
I didn't understand pointers when covered in college. I could recite the definitions but coding with them was a lot of randomly adding and removing & and * until my code didn't crash.
It wasn't until I learned rust, where pointers are references and references let you borrow access to data that is owned by someone else, and that this avoids copying, that pointers really clicked for me.
