Is it hard to program with multiple launguage?

Question

I am at a very basic level and am learning Swift and don't plan on trying to pick any more up until I have a really good understanding of it. But for people like web developers and others who use multiple languages per project, is it hard? I feel like I would mix up rules and stuff.

Answer 1

I know Python and C++ pretty well and I find myself mixing them up subconsciously all the time. Stuff like adding parentheses to my if statements in Python and using functions that don’t exist in that particular language. Python to MATLAB was the worst for me for confusion though, because they’re so similar. I found it easy to get the hang of MATLAB but I kept doing things like forgetting ‘end’ keywords and semicolons, using ‘len()’ instead of ‘length()’, and forgetting that yes, there is a distinction between character vectors and strings (that one took a while). So basically, in my experience, the more similar the languages, the easier it is to confuse them.

Answer 2

html css and js is sooo different, they have their own structure so its not so hard on that one.

but js and server side, like php. yeah i did some mistakes, thats when the documentation is really useful

Answer 3

Abby Blancett the more projects you do as you grow the easier it gets... As a newbie however it is good to focus on a few basic languages and later learn how to wrap them.

Answer 4

You should also be able to learn html without much of a problem.
