/prog/'s opinion about some languages

Name: Anonymous 2009-08-22 22:25

Hey /prog/,

I'm new in this board, so sorry for being a retard.
I'm starting CS at university. After some pseudo-code, we started with Java and Microsoft .NET (Visual Basic...lol)

I had learned some Python, PHP and C++ beforehand by myself, but I'd like to hear your opinion about all the languages I've mentioned, and what languages are worth learning nowadays.

Thanks.
(I know this can lead to a trollfest, so I'm just asking for YOUR opinion)

How can anyone say a language is outdated? That is ridiculous. Sure, you're already bored and want something new, but that's just you. A language is not a fighter aircraft that needs to be replaced every 20 to 40 years. Programming languages are things that are created by people who want a language to do what they want, usually done by taking bits of other languages and putting it together in a way that is most appealing to them. It doesn't make old languages deteriorate, it just diversifies your options. It's all personal preference.
