Assembler=Walking
Forth=Skiing
C=Old single-speed bike, with solid design
C++=Multi-speed foldable Sport+utility bike with speedometer
Java=A cheap chinese moped
C#=Bike with electric assist
Haskell=Chair(with wheels, but you won't like to use them anyway)
JavaScript=A kid's bike with training wheels
Lisp=A tribe of hired midgets carrying you in various ways
Prolog=Electric Train
Basic=A Car
C++=Multi-speed foldable Sport+utility bike with speedometer
that's so wrong in so many ways

More like this:
Assembler=Walking
C=Old single-speed bike, with solid design
C++=The old single-speed bike but now with multi-gear, a bell, water bottle holder, and reflectors hacked on. Also the back tire needs a little air
Java=A cheap chinese moped
C#=A well put together multi-speed bike that has all the features you want, but nothing too flashy
Haskell=Chair(with wheels, but you won't like to use them anyway)
JavaScript=A razor scooter that's only used for riding around google head quarters
Lisp=A tribe of hired midgets carrying you in various ways
Basic=A kid's bike with training wheels
Python=A cheap used car with lots of added features duck-taped on. Fairly reliable.
I've never actually programmed in Prolog or Forth because I'm not a faggot.

Assembler=Lightspeed travel on a cardboard box
C=Reliable, old, fast jet
C++=A fast but overly complex airplane with high maintenance costs
Java=An enterprise helicopter taxi
C#=A tasteful American sports car
Haskell=A slick concept car that will never be mass produced
JavaScript=A Japanese motorcycle
Lisp=A solar powered tricycle
Basic=A kid's bike
Python=A Corolla
>>15 is a sysadmin and uses it all the time, expert programmer style with hashes of arrays, CGI "objects" and other assorted bolt on OOP crap.
And is thus learning Luby for real OOP.

Assembler - Zepplin.
C - Old and fashionable bi-plane.
C++ - V1 Rocket. Sometimes you hit your destination.
C# - Spit fighter.
Java - A really, really fancy hat.
Python - Push bike, easy to put together and maintain.
I haven't coded in anything other than those languages.
Assembler is teleportation. Fastest thing there is, but to much effort to do anything big with it.

Oh, also Java is a Jeep. Slow and designed only for situations where you need to go everywhere, but this doesn't stop people using it for the programming equivalent of the school run.

Languages as languages
Assembler -- baby talk
C -- baby talk
C++ -- baby talk
Python -- baby talk
Ruby -- baby talk

People that depend upon Java's JVM don't want to deal with architecture issues. The Java platform's design intent is for programmers to write once run anywhere there is a compliant JVM. Oh wait, IHBT and I feel kind of bad about it :(
>>23 This fails on 2 levels:
1.JVM requires resources on PC level.
2.x86 is already dominating the PC sphere.
3.Most other architectures which run Windows, run x86->Non-stantard asm converter in the CPU

The great moral question of the twenty-first century is this: if all knowing, all culture, all art, all useful information can be costlessly given to everyone at the same price that it is given to anyone; if everyone can have everything, anywhere, all the time, why is it ever moral to exclude anyone?

``Design intent'' and reality don't have shit to do with each other in Java's case. Sun's own JVMs aren't compatible between platforms.
Use Python if you want cross-platform support without recompiling.
