Re: What is your most prefered programming language?
 

i learned on VB and i liked it alot but as ive been moving into java its alot more powerfull and im liking it better, even though im not as good. soon i plan on moving to c++ which quite possable will become a new fav

you kids are out of date. visual c# .net (c-sharp) is the latest version of the c programming language. it is extremely powerful, the .net version in visual studio 2003 or 05 has incredible debugging features, is object oriented, and kicks ***.

i am impressed by any language that you can use to make a robot go straight using wheel encoders. like the robolab software that can't do it. yes, i know that's only for legoleague but its what we're limited to.

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?
 

Of those that I am familiar with, C/C++ is definitely my favorite...Delphi Object Pascal, runner-up....i don't really know that many, and I'd like to be able to distinguish the differences between them all, so I'm starting to pick up some stuff on other languages, such as Visual Basic, which I'm really enjoying...i've been interested in learning Assembly, Java, etc, although I haven't really gotten around to it yet. I think once someone's got the idea of the "logic" of programming it shouldn't be too difficult for them to learn other ones.....

The Delphi enviroment has allways been the most productive for me.

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?
 

Now, this is weak. They didn't list Python, Scheme, Common Lisp, Perl, or PHP. Bah.

As far as object-oriented programming goes, though, I prefer Java or Objective C. The Carbon toolkit on OS X just rules. :p
As far as imperative programming goes, I much prefer Perl. It's a very compatible and versatile language. 'Nuff said.
As far as Web development goes, it's either HTML::Mason (mod_perl) or PHP.
If I'm dealing with math things, give me Scheme, Python, or Common Lisp any day.

Yadda, yadda. It depends on the application, the system, and how much code I expect to reuse. Java, Objective C, Perl, Python, Scheme, Common Lisp, and PHP all allow for tons and tons of code reuse to varying degrees, but there're a couple of languages there that don't readily have compilers for Windows or the BeOS or VMS, etc.

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?
 

Objective C is used with Cocoa, not Carbon (?)

But yeah, Objective C is just great :)

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?
 

Best language ever: z80 ASM with x86 ASM as a runner-up.

Ummm, i wouldn't exactly call it a "version of C," unless you consider Java a version of C as well. C# is more like Java with all the fun Mikrosopht specialties. Then again, i'd consider them closer to scripting languages. But, without a doubt, they are fairly powerful.

VS 2005 sucks. 2003 is good however.

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?
 

isn't C# supposed to be a simpler (think VB) branch of C++?

And while I'm not so sure about about all the .NET stuff, I really like the C++ IDE.

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?
 

C# is a Visual Basic IDE with C++ code.

I personally use PHP the most, but i'm sure out of all the ones I know, C++ is the most functional, etc.

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?
 

Hmmm, i've always thought of C++ as more of a machine language. While they do have similarities in syntax structure, there is the notable difference of one being compiled for a machine (such as memory handling, pointers, etc.), and one being compiled to be interpereted... like a scripted or "basic" language.

Heh, the VS 2003 C++ IDE is pretty sweet. Gotta love that Intellisense.

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?
 

C++ is supposedly OOP, but that can be debated. I feel so outdated with my VS 6.0 :(

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?
 

For web programming, I do all my sites (HTML) and all my scripts (Perl) by hand.

For app programming, I do everything in REALbasic. REALbasic has MANY strong points. First off, you can compile for Windows, OS X, OS 9, and Linux all from the same source code. Second, REALbasic allows for rapid application development. Proof of this: I'm working on an app with a friend of mine. We essentially started it yesterday, and it will hit the market in full final status in less than three weeks. The downside of this is that lots of really crappy apps end up getting posted that should never have seen the light of day. Third, REALbasic is easy enough to be understood by anyone! Fourth, it has a VB project converter. Fifth, it is Turing-Complete, so it is possible to do ANYTHING with REALbasic (as long as there is hardware if you're looking to perform physical tasks). Yeah, RB rocks.

And I'm trying to teach myself Objective-C.... :ahh:

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?
 

Yea, supposedly, heh. C/C++ is still the king because of its machine power (flexes arms).
Don't feel too bad, i'm still using MSCV 6.0 on my Windoze machine too.

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?
 

C++ is my favorite, but i heard a lot about C# and seems to be quite good....
