What is your favorite programming language(s)? - Page 9

Have any people here who like C actually used it for developing large applications/libraries? It's a nice language to learn, very simple, but I've only used it to write small libraries because it's so universal (=any library in C is fairly easy to hack into most other languages in existence)... for actual applications development it just seems awful.

Not that I've ever used it for that of course.

Hell no. I'm not a professional... yet, largest project I've worked on in C was 15k lines.
C isn't made for large projects and its successor, C++ is awful.

C is a great language and a good representation of assembly. Everyone loves C. C++, however, is ****ed and a debacle to debugged and maintain. You have to learn the language, its pitfalls, code principals, and other shenanigans. That being said, it's still the best optimized language. Though most people are moving to .Net and Java for these reasons. Unfortunately, Java and .Net is just horrible optimization for any gaming and don't support low level task.

I wish everyone would stop saying C isn't made for large projects. LOL. If you say that, I think actually that C isn't made for YOU smile.gif
Linux kernel anyone?

I don't think it's everyone saying that (I'm not sure if it's anyone saying that - I was concerned with applications). In any event, C is great for kernels because it's so low level and probably many other reasons (just like it's great for libraries because it's so universal), but I was more interested in knowing if people who have worked with large applications written in C think it is a great language to work with, not whether or not it's made for it (though I don't think it is suitable for the purpose at this day and age).

I worked on an in house application developed for Windows in pure C. Yep we did the whole thing in C - windows, GUI controls - heck we even used COM *manually* in C. I don't know about anyone else, but that sort of thing just turns me on! ph34r-smiley.gif

(Though I wouldn't do COM in pure C again - but it did give me a brilliant understanding of the superiority that is Win32 COM).

Probably Java. I really like the amount of (good) (open source) frameworks there are for Java. That's something that I'm (for example) missing in C#. 99% of the time you will be using Microsoft technologies, which has its advantages, but I'm someone who likes to try things out and compare them to other related frameworks.
