I've been wanting to learn how to code in iis, math, class, svn etc. Are they good programming languages?

Yes!

Php week

VueJS weekend

Assembly on the weekend... so much fun :wtf:

Yeah, it sounds awesome.
Probably people tinkling with gadgets is why. Can't do that at work

I prefer 'algorithm' myself

Confirmation bias?

Yep - that stats are weekend relative to weekday percentages... not by number.

As per hackernews, they're thinking that the stats are very skewed towards people doing homework.
Your average backyard hacker doesn't need a super amount of help with pointers, unlike for example a student.

Whilst it sounds like a valid argument to state it's all linked to study; there are some discrepancies that just don't add up.

Weekend and study implies that student's only work on weekends, even for distance lesrning that is doubtful, secondly the above chart shows some discrepancies that just don't tie up with the study hypothesis. E.g. java is just ever so slightly up from the centre point, meaning it's used almost the same amount during the week as it is used on weekend.

Considering Java's popularity with many undergraduate studies; we should have expected to see far greater use over the weekend, but that's not the case. The below the line stuff is btw considerably more popular during the week. E.g. C#, asp.net.

As for significantly above the line stuff like Haskell, Assembly, ... -- don't know about you, but I certainly haven't seen many undergraduate programmes that cover these in any significant detail; certainly not as assignments.

I've come across many. Mainly around computer engineering and electrical engineering.

Assembly sure, not Haskell though; still doesn't account for higher weekend use.

Agreed, Haskell is definitely a strange entry in there.
