Favorite Programming Language
    #9892863 -

Just interested to hear some opinions.

Personally, I use VB.NET almost exclusively at work and thus, is probably my favorite.  I know lots of people knock VB, but it seems to work pretty well for what I need it for (mainly HMI software, accessing databases, fast deployment).

I don't really have a reason WHY it's my favorite other than that I know the syntax more than any of the other languages I've used.  I really enjoyed C when I was using that; unfortunately, I don't do any embedded programming anymore.

Maybe you guys can expand my horizons.

i had never done much programing until a while back. l i had to write a network application out of desperation.
I was able to write a very nice application in a few days using python.
I find that the code is very readable and easy to understand.

Depends on what I'm trying to accomplish. If I want something done quick I'll use C# otherwise I stick to C/C++ simply because it's what I'm most familiar with.

Ruby.

Why?  look at how many ruby conferences there are, and look at how many people show up.  I know popularity doesn't prove anything, but its not one of your everyday new languages.

Why else?  Because it is why the lucky stiff's favorite language.  Look at the mofo's github page.  So many followers.  So many commits.  And his projects are off-the-fucking-chain.  Especially hpricot and shoes.  Though his new language, potion (inspired by ruby, i'm sure), is something to watch.  He's obviously a genius.  And if he chooses ruby, well, I gotta lend some weight to that opinion.  Besides, using his tools makes it much easier to write kick-ass programs.

To be fair, it is hard to make the most of ruby without using C.  Why's projects are a good example, they are mostly Ruby extensions written in C.  But he chooses Ruby as the interface language so that he can then use it.

Just listen to how he talks about it:

so yeah.  check it out.

I don't understand what makes Ruby better than Python though. It seems they're both easy to use, with pretty similar syntax. The difference is Ruby has Rails, though Python is still far more popular.

HTML and VB were fun.  Advanced VB sucked ballsack though.  My codemonkey days are over.  We're underappreciated. :frown:

They both accomplish much the same thing. Python is rapidly gaining popularity over perl because it's much easier to read and write. It has a lot of momentum behind it, though perl is probably still more widely used.

> Anyone with much experience with Perl?

Unfortunately.  Probably my least favorite language.  Right down there with Cobol, Fortran, and Basic.  Perl- write once, read never.  The only thing I use Perl for is quick and dirty scripts to perform tedious sysadmin tasks.

While we are bad mouthing programing languages; Id like to put my vote in for TCL. The language most prone to be written dirty, In my experience. I fucking hate TCL. You Perl bashers have not seen ugly code until you've seen TCL written by people who never should have become programmers in the first place.

> Id like to put my vote in for TCL.

The main problem with TCL is that it is a list oriented language.  Unless one changes the way they think about writing, the code comes out nasty.  It is also an "ugly" looking language, in my opinion.  (Even clean code is kinda ugly looking.)
