Favourite programming language

Name: Anonymous 2006-04-05 19:10

Name your favourite programming language (not necessarily (but usually) the one you know the best - just the one you like best).

Tip: Java doesn't belong in this thread.

Mine is __Python__.

Visual Basic

15 languages later, and I'm not impressed by any of them.

It'd probably be a tie between C and Ruby though.

I said I'm not impressed by any of them, not that I hate them (or developing software for that matter).

Quite a leap of logic there...

Ruby tied with Io. Then C.

Perl and/or ECMAScript 4 (e.g. ActionScript)

Java because of its awesome string parsing abilities!

I can't believe you actually thought you had to let people know no one likes Java.

I would actually have to say Java. But that's because I'm a student. As such, I'm required to make small programs in short time that do useless things, and Java is simply the easiest language for such work. Just this morning I wrote a Java program that fetches the response code from a http request. Three lines. Same in C? No idea...

At times when serious work is needed (yes, I do have work experience) Python seems to fill my needs.

No. I'd understand if you said Delphi. Pascal. Or even VisualBasic. But Javur....

C

Delphi? Never seen anyone use it
Pascal? Never seen anyone use it
Visual Basic? I've seen it used ONCE
Java? Every programming related course we read use Java. Why bother using anything else for school related stuff?

That being said I do realize I need to learn C or some equivalent to actually get anywhere in life. Except for Sun.

wtf? Think about it, to write a program that prints "Hello world" you have to create a class. What other language forces you to do that? The only reason you can accomplish a lot with seemingly very little is because the Java foundation api is so comprehensive. But that has nothing to do with the language itself.

public class Hello{

}

Boy, sure was a lot of work creating that class, wasn't it? I think I need a break!

Java:
public class Hello
{
    public static void main(String[] arg)
    {
        System.out.println("Hello, world!");
    }
}

But Javur is more productive, I read that in a Sun paid article in an "industry" magazine.

It is! It really is! It allows you to produce more lines of code, which is the important thing if you ask anybody.

Beware Java's nighmare of a static class hierarchy.

Use message passing, or bust...

C:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
  printf("Hello World!\n");
  exit(0);
}

Man, that's so unbelievably much shorter than the Java code, I don't know why I didn't switch a long time ago! Thank you for opening my eyes to this new world of short syntax!

>>32 is an idiot. C is a low-level language, little more than assembly with macros. If Java uses a similar number of lines as C, something is seriously wrong.

Perl: print "Hello World!\n";
Python: print "Hello World!"
Ruby: print "Hello World!\n"
Forth: ."Hello World!" CR
Bash: echo "Hello World!"
Ocaml: print_string "Hello world!\n";
Lisp: (write-line "Hello World!")
BASIC: print "Hello World!"

Yes, they're all one-liners. No additional shit needed. And these are just the languages I can yank off the top of my head.

PS. It's return 0, not exit(0).

More like:
int main(){puts("Hello World!");}

I like ocaml but it has many problems with it I'd like fixed related to polymorphism and run time type checking.

is not standard.
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){puts("lol, internet\n"); return 0;}

Just "Hello World" alone is plain text you idiot.
