today procedural languages,
such as fortran or pascal, are no longer promoted by physics
teachers. Is this a correct assessment? Is it good or bad?
I am not familiar with an "object-oriented" language. Are C++
or Java suitable for "learning physics via creative programming"?
Are such languages better or worse than those which were so
popular two decades ago? ... If it was up to me
I would promote True Basic as a common language all kids
know how to program with, from elementary schools up to
the university level. Just like fortran is a common language
among scientists (and probably among many engineers).
