Re: What is your most prefered programming language?

I perfer LISP as a nice medium level lanuge, mainly for it's ability to modifiy it's own code as a data type. the problem is, is thier are few API's for it. at anyrate, for the most part I program in C++ but for as many things they did right in it, thier are quite a few things missing, namely, multiple returns.

as for a high level i don't know many, but C# seems pretty nice, however i am currently learning java which seems quite promising for atleast the deployment part of a application life style.

as for low level, G5 PPC ASM all the way, you can keep your 80x86.

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?

I know it's not the most editable code, but I like REALbasic becuase it make GUIs very fast and the language is simple and intuitive. I could make a very graphical oriented program in an hour or less. The downside is that working with files is hard.

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?

I prefer C++ because of its compatability and modularity. It, unlike java or php, and other languages runs itself using the operating system. Java and php are run on another program, and perform much slower because of this. But it is easier to code Java and even easier to code php...

Web Design:

Java (when I want to write something cool)
JScript (when I'm feeling lazy)
perl (when I want the world to bow before me)

Application design:

C-sharp (word for word Java)
C++ (something I could fry my hard drive with)
perl (when I don't want to accidently fry my hard drive)

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?

My favorite programming language? Hard to say.

I started with Visual Basic (shudder) back when I was in single digits. Flash's ActionScript introduced me into the world of C-style syntax several years ago, and then I started reading up about C++. I developed most of my taste in programming conventions around this time, so it was a bit hard to shift into Java-mode for my AP Comp Sci class. For example, casting down from Object in an overridden equals method, to match the signature of the original method, just seems so wrong.

Java is neat, I just think C++ is better when it comes to making objects feel as natural as primitives. I also love the way C++ handles constants (const declarations, constant arguments, and const (non-mutator) methods).

About a year ago I got into Walter Bright's "D" programming language, which is sort of a C++/D hybrid - there's no virtual machine, but it's still reference based. Plus, a few extras are thrown in such as syntax-level Design by Contract. (I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this language already, because I'm lazy and I'm not about to read through eleven pages of posts )

If I had to pick one, I'd say C++. D would be really neat if its developers could only pick up the pace - it's been pre 1.0 for around five years.
