Homebrew [Question] Which programming languages are required for hb development?

[gnmmarechal]

Which is completely unnecessary for the matter.

Ever heard of a suggestion though?
No need to be so aggressive lol

You were the one taking as aggressive. It wasn't meant as such. It's just something completely unrelated to the matter. The IDE isn't an important part of it, and wasting time thinking about that is, well, a waste of time one could be spending actually learning how to code.

Well, he was asking about Code Editors. But yeah, I did suggest some places he could start learning C and C++. YouTube is also a good resource.

Any IDE with syntax highlighting works just fine, and generally YouTube is a terrible idea, given how the so-called tutorials don't usually explain anything about *why* something works.

Fair point. Another suggestion being just grabbing a book, and reading it.

The ones i see used the most are C and lua with lp+

@LiquidFenrir How can i set a good developing environment without Xcode? Sorry for my noobness again

You'll want to install Xcode on your Mac if you're going to do development on it, and you'll likely want to install Homebrew for Mac as well (https://brew.sh).

I second using Visual Studio Code but be prepared to do some configuration and setup to get it working the way you want it to - it's designed to be an all-purpose editor, so it's not necessarily equipped with everything it needs out of the box (which is why you can install extensions for it through the VSC extension marketplace). I use it for website development and that took a bit of setup for me to be happy with it but it runs like a champ (and does kill my CPU like that piece of crap Dreamweaver).
I don't really get the need for the whole "the IDE doesn't matter" argument, because ultimately it does if that's what you're going to be putting code into - you need a good IDE that you feel comfortable using, and Code is a very flexible, fairly streamlined editor (and arguably the only good thing to come out of Microsoft in the past decade), so it's worth trying that one out. The Xcode IDE is so-so but it's more the command-line tools that you'll want anyway.

As far as learning to code goes, don't expect to learn overnight. It takes time and practise, so only commit to learning if you really have the patience and desire to do so.

And here I was going to come along and post a joke answer. Dammit.

@TCJJ Thanks! I will try VSC when i have some free time.

C / Objective C, C++, XML, and sometimes C# are the primary langs used in Homebrew development.

How did you learn these?

 

[Dr.Hacknik]

How did you learn these?

Years of practice, and learning online. That and just studying how the code actually works; since it's not that hard to figure out how XML, JSON, and other database langs, as well as other langs actually work.
