How to better start learning programming - with imperative or declarative languages?
- by user712092
Someone is interested in learning to program. What language paradigm should I recomend him - imperative or declarative? And what programming language should he start with?
I think that declarative because it is closer to math. And I would say that Prolog might be the best start because it is based on logic and programs are short. On the other hand at school we started learning from imperative languages and I am not sure whether there is a benefit to start with them instead of declarive ones.
Thanks. :)
