If linux distros were programming languages

I don’t really understand this thread…

Aren’t nearly all of those languages derivatives of C in one form or another?

C
-  C++
    - java
- go[lang]

and isn’t rust highly derivative of C???

I made the mistake, at Uni, after three “units” doing Pascal, and one unit x86 assembler, of attempting C and C++ in a single unit/course - I failed miserably, and stupidly left it too late to withdraw…

The only programming “languages” I know are “sh” (and its descendants csh, tcsh, ksh, bash and zsh), and Pascal… I can still kinda remember Pascal, but all that x86 assembler stuff I learned has gone - KAPOOF!


update - and what about COBOL?
