[Thoughts]Programming musings thread[General]

Post little thoughts, jokes, news, etc. that don't necessarily warrant having their own thread.

most programming is lame but learning infosec and computer science at the same time is awesome because you learn about categories of vulnerabilities and then you can write your own security tools/exploits instead of being some drone who only knows how to run tools other people made

What tech-related thing are you learning about right now? I'm currently learning about port scanning with nmap. It has a scripting engine that uses lua. Have any of you ever programmed in lua? What's it like? I am mostly familiar with Java but I've used some other languages too.
