Favourite programming language

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__.

LOL! Side-effect. I bet you can't output to my screen without side-effects.

>>43
There's no law against side effects. They're just to be avoided where convenient.

>>43
what side-effect?

>>45
The side effect of writing to a stream, duh.

>>46
and where is it a side effect? that's MY screen, not yours, duh.

>>47
Calling the print to screen function has the side-effect that it prints to the screen. I am outraged.

>>48
I too am outraged that this programming language does what I want it to do! This is disgusting.

>>40
It gets printed you idiot.

>>47
Side effects? In MY screen?

>>50
That's what I wanted you idiot, otherwise I wouldn't have called this function.

C# is the new shit, don't you forget it!
namespace MicrosoftProject
{
    class Application
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            System.Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!");
        }
    }
}

C# is clearly superior to Java.

Clearly.

>>53
Oh, shit, some language designer, somewhere, didn't learn from the mess known as Java. :(

QBasic
PRINT "Hello world"

Ok now, do it in brainfuck.

>>52
No point in using <?php echo "lol"; ?> if all you want is to write lol, PHP will output anything not between <? ?> . And echo is not a function, idiot.

>>53
At least it has proper capitalisation.

>>54
Well, it IS somewhat better, but that doesn't mean it's good.

>>56
QBasic still accepts (although will change it if written in the IDE): ?"Hello world"

>>57
NIL

There's a manly language for you!

native C++

lately my fav has been javascript (and ruby). i hate langs that require semicolons.

Supercollider is awesome.

>>63
You hate semicolons but you like JavaScript? I don't get it.

>>63
whut

I'm going to have to say C++, it's a little more flexable then C. But C comes in a close second because I still use a lot of C in my code.

For now I'd say Python. Its like a warm blanky to me with how kind it is :D

I can't do sh it in anything but C :(

>>67
C++ is insane, it's like taking C and breaking it

C++ is alright... if you stay away from most of what makes C++ the language it is. There's a reason why a lot of people favor what's called "C++--".

>>65

semicolons are optional in javascript.

>>72
this is javascript's dumbest feature, because it doesn't have an explicit line-continuation character, so you have to make sure the parser doesn't think you wanted to terminate a statement. also multiline strings don't work.

Perl.

perl -e'print "Hello, world!\n"'

or

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
print "Hello, world\N";

>>74
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -e'print "Hello, world!\n"'

print 'Hello, world!'

10 PRINT "POO!!!"
20 GOTO 10

ruby -e "puts 'Python sux!'"

print "\n".join(unicode(i) + "GET" for i in xrange(1000))
Python gets posts faster than Ruby, PHP and Perl.

BTW, why is the CODE font the wrong font? Variable spacing fonts are for loser languages like Java.
