What is your favorite programming language(s)? - Page 2

post #11 of 86
6/24/12 at 11:31am
I don't really have one favorite programming language, because I think that's counterproductive. The best programmers will use the language that's best suited for each job. That being said, Python is the language I have the most fun programming in. I use it frequently for quick prototyping thanks to the libraries available. For larger programs that will have to be maintained, I love C#. For research purposes, I'm using Clojure currently.

I'm also partial to F#, but I don't have anything major that I've done using it.

I really don't agree with that statement in the slightest. "favourite" is an emotional argument and "best suited" is a logical argument. The two can coexist concurrently. eg I use Java for Android development but I don't particularly like the language much.

That's not entirely true as any sufficiently complex algorithm will have multiple valid solutions. Much like any sufficiently large number can be resulted for several multiples

I actually agree with you. A better way to state what I meant would be that people may have more than one "favorite" depending on what they're doing.

I also agree with you about Android. I wish Google would have went with C# when they started it.

I think Microsoft would have a bit to say about that....

Even if they used the Mono framework or something else instead of actual MS C#...

C# is standardized. Microsoft does not "own" or "control" C#, they developed and invented it.

Also, native C# Android apps have been possible for a while, and you can find mono for Android if you look. It's still slow to get off the ground, though. Everyone is content with Java even though the Dalvik slows things down.

Indeed, that is correct. I think if we replace C# with Visual C#, it would be a different story. There's a difference between a language specification (C#) and an implementation (Visual C#).

Anyway, sort of back on topic - my favorites are C and C#.

I have tried C++, C#, C, JAVA, JavaScript, python, PHP and VB.net.

I can say I love C++ the most. However I started to program with C# and XNA not long ago, and as much as it pains me to say this, I think i'm falling in love with C# guiltysmiley.gif
