What's your favorite programming language(s) and why? - AltruismAndCake - 10-03-2015

I'm just curious, because I'm thinking of attempting my own language. So here are a few questions:

What's your favorite programming language and why? What do you use it for? What features do you want to see added or removed?

Do you prefer a language with faster run time, faster development time, readability, or some balance of these? Do you prefer GUI based, IDE, or text editor for programming?

Do you typically work on your own, or with a group of people? Do any of your projects include creating a GUI or just cmd/terminal based? What would you say is the hardest part of finishing a project?

What are you interests? AI, dig data, graphics 2d or 3d, compression, games, virtual machines, web design, or something else?

Feel free to answer however you like. You can skip questions, add details, and recommend questions that should be added. Feel free to making your reply as big or small as you want. Thank you Smile

Woop! I know all the answers:
  • Aft - Python
  • Tyler - Python
  • Pablo - Python
  • ddthj - Python
  • nonemu - Python
  • Mort - Mortup (/Javascript)
  • Voltz - Haskell
  • DeCapo - ASM for his own shit
  • Chibill - Java
  • Magic - Java
  • Slugdude - Bash
  • Qwer - Perl
  • Nick - VScript (pretty sure that's the name of the scripting language for the Source engine)
  • JeremyG - VScript
See how many I got right :pp

Nice nuup xD

If you are right, then Python is the most popular language here. I'm thinking ease of use, but maybe there is another reason? Seems making your own language and using it is more popular among the longer term members.

You forgot meh - C#.

I use it for many things, like DLLs or programs for myself, its easy to understand/read. I like to see added a Microsoft-Made C# tutorial in many languages.

I like to work in an IDE, i like the fast dev time.

I work alone, some of my projects includes GUI, but DLLs, evidently, neither.

The hardest part is the debugging, cuz you test it, see a fail and you rage because you cant solve it.

Software development is my favourite part.

- What do you use most, Codeplex or GitHub?
Codeplex. As always, im TheCrimulo.

me: (well....) Haskell (mostly) python

RE: What's your favorite programming language(s) and why? - AltruismAndCake - 10-03-2015

Sounds like your a windows fan Crimulo, we better hide you from Slug xD

Do you have any completed projects you would like to share? Or is that a secret?

Yeah Bill, I like Haskell to because it's easy to understand and use when you get used to it, but it's hard to use for certain projects. It's too bad no one made it work with multiple threads afaik.

Yes, im a Windows fan and i argued with Slug yet xD

extnet.codeplex.com is my most recent project, it can manage double extensions like text.hya.txt, pretty simple.

I also like python. (I normally use java but I use python for fast dev time then once it works I port it over.)

RE: What's your favorite programming language(s) and why? - tyler569 - 10-04-2015

Python may be what I recommend to new programmers, and it's certainly what I'm most proficient in, but it is by no means my favorite.

That said, determining what my actual favorite is is a much harder task than telling you it ain't python. Haskell, Clojure, Rust, Golang, and several others would be in that contest.

Crystal is a very cool language, it's basically just compiled Ruby, but it can interact with C very well.

Idris bruh
Idris

Nope, never even heard of that. C, C++, C# and Python here.

I only know mathematica lolz

RE: What's your favorite programming language(s) and why? - greatgamer34 - 10-13-2015

Im a fan of c++

how about brain fuck?

RE: What's your favorite programming language(s) and why? - jxu - 10-14-2015

Python, because readability and maintainability matter

Also it's beautifully concise

Lua, nobody on ORE likes it, but I do x'D It's easy to understand, easy to write and no big parenthesis mess, e.g:

Code:
if x == 1 {
System.out.println("x is equal to one");
} else {
System.out.println("x is not equal to one, it's " + x);
}
simply get's

Code:
if x == 1 then
print("x is equal to one")
else
print("x is not equal to one, it's "..x)
end


RE: What's your favorite programming language(s) and why? - JeremyG - 10-14-2015

I like Lua because it's easily implemented into any program as a scripting language inside of it. I don't like it as standalone language though.

RE: What's your favorite programming language(s) and why? - Nickster258 - 10-14-2015

Lua was a blast for me. I only got to use it for computer craft, but enjoyed it all

yep... lua is amazing to me, its simple, and really cool as a language. so, I got a question, what IDES do you use? for lua: SCITE C++: codeblocks Fortran: Codeblocks java: eclipse (obviously), python: IDLE

Hmmm...

Like:
  • Python
  • C
  • Lisp (I want to learn it someday)
  • Ocaml (Same)
Dislike:
  • Java
Absolutely Hate:
  • C# (See Java, Windows Only.)
#*<.>,:
  • BrainF*ck
  • Befunge
  • Whitespace
I think that about covers it.
