I’ve been wanting to learn how to program for a while. In the past couple of years, I tried many times. Different languages and different tutorials. But I always got distracted, either by another project or another language. I think one of the reasons I didn’t have much luck was that I really didn’t have an end goal, something to work towards. Now, I do.

Recently, I stumbled across an interesting little language named the LDPL programming language. It’s inspired by COBOL and has several neat features. However, LDPL is not as popular or well known as other languages.
