I've seen code with binary data (such as icons) baked into constants. I can't wait for the three hour narration of base64 encoded pngs.

Three things in CS meet the qualifications for arcane runes: complex regular expressions, pointer arithmetic, and bit shifting.
By that logic most of Star Trek isn't canon. Lemmy would be in shambles!
Would Enimal be a Water/Earth type, or Water/Poison?

Ponder Stibbons inserts another punch card into Hex. Ants flow through tubes and gears begin turning.

Megumin's other problem is she only specced into things that would improve her explosion's damage output, neglecting basic mage things like mana capacity and efficiency. So she can only cast one (stupidly overpowered) explosion spell before all but passing out from using more mana than she actually has. It's why no other party would take her, because even in situations where the spell would be useful she becomes a massive liability after casting it.

There are two things I can't stand in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the Dutch.
It was, which is why it sucks that it got snuffed out instead of one of the dozens of less interesting subplots.

The main problem with Java (or garbage collected languages in general) as a first language is needing to unlearn the bad habits it ingrains when you move to a systems programming language with manual memory management. Other than that it's a pretty good first language, though I'd suggest learning a bit of C at the same time just to get a basic grip on things like pointers and stack vs heap.
Edit: it occurs to me that C# would be the perfect learning language. It's very similar to Java and an easy first language, but you'd also learn about stack allocation through structs, and can teach pointers using unsafe (though I think unsafe code is still GCed, so this wouldn't help with the memory management side of things. Haven't touched C# in fifteen years so I'm not sure how it works anymore).
