Is there any use in learning an "easy" programming language? (sh.itjust.works)

I have been thinking of learning some programming recently, but I don't feel confident enough. Is there any point in beginning with something like Zig or Go, and switching to something more serious later?

My entire career is mostly 90% SQL and CRUD. To each their own!

CRUD

When I was growing up the most advanced console to which I had access was the Genesis (or Master System, if you prefer). On it, by far the game I played the most was Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. (I liked Tobias Boon - sorry - Noob Saibot).

For that game, you could unlock debug mode by pressing b, a, down, left, a, down, c, right, up, down. BADLADCRUD. I don't know what CRUD is in the context in which you were commenting, but it reminded me of this.

It stands for Create, Read, Update, Delete. Those are the primary operations on a database and a crud app refers to one which is little more than a front end to a database.

That sounds like a RESTful API.

Regardless, TIL. Thanks!

Same! The more I learn the more astounded I am. You mean I can retrieve 5m records in .01 seconds?
