Goat Posted August 23, 2005 i lack the mental capacity to program. i dont understand the fundamentals of it and cant grasp the concepts. needless to say i got a B in java 1 and an A in java 2 by turning in 0% of my work. the only language ive tried is java :| 0 Share this post Link to post

Jon Posted August 23, 2005 There seems to be an inverse relationships between languages I like (ruby, haskell) and useful things I've written (almost all in C). 0 Share this post Link to post
wildweasel Posted August 23, 2005 I know a little Basic. I think I prefer it to the overcomplicated mess that is C, and don't even get me started on those darn braces and semicolons. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted August 23, 2005 Yes, braces and semicolons suck. They provide information neither for an automatic nor a human parser, so why do so many languages insist on slowing programmers down with them? 0 Share this post Link to post
Joe Posted August 23, 2005 I know some basic (of the quick and visual varieties) and C/C++. 0 Share this post Link to post
EarthQuake Posted August 23, 2005 I like visual basic because of its ease and quickness, php because of its dynamic web applications, and c/c++ because it's powerful, widespread, and easy to write programs across different systems (although I don't know much of it). I would like to learn python. 0 Share this post Link to post

Remilia Scarlet Posted August 24, 2005 C# (mainly with Mono and Gtk#), GNU C++, nasm x86 assembly, VB6 (I hate VB.Net), TI-Basic for the TI-99/4A, Bash shell scripting, and Perl are probably my favorites. And I don't know them, but I want to learn COBOL and this one programming language that actually uses Japanese characters (it's based on forth. or rather, fourth based on it is). I know some others, but don't necessarily like them. The other .NET languages, for instance. And Java. I mainly use C#, C++, and Bash. Perl is slowly replacing Bash ;) 0 Share this post Link to post

Just historical, C became very popular and then C++, and Java/C# copied the same syntax. One language I admired for its very good, clean design was Modula 3. When I read the specs, most of the time I was thinking "yes, that's how it should be". Shame it never caught on. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kaiser Posted August 24, 2005 C and Javascript.. because those are the only languages I know... 0 Share this post Link to post
Planky Posted August 24, 2005 Delphi. Because its an incredibly easy language and powerful to boot. No such thing as compile time. 0 Share this post Link to post
Donce Posted August 24, 2005 Qbasic (and, since a few days ago, FreeBasic) because that's the only language I'm capable of coding at least something. I suck pretty much in programming though, and my biggest achievements are a hangman game with horrible graphics and a converter from tasdoom to doom2 demo format (hate watching with tasdoom.exe). 0 Share this post Link to post
Jon Posted August 24, 2005 Since this is so irreverant, may I just say, I hate PHP, just about every large-scale PHP program I've seen is a pathetic joke and the people who maintain them are blissfully unaware of how rubbish they are. I filed a bug on a PEAR app the other day where the very first page of their documentation expressed a bug in the API which resulted in a blank page. The cause of the bug? Calling procedure that was never defined. Of course that's a silent error in this circumstance. Don't get me started on wordpress security. Another pet hate: the abuse of the term 'function'. 0 Share this post Link to post

Quasar Posted August 24, 2005 C++ is my favorite language. All the flexibility of C PLUS all the organizational power of OOP. Templates are a huge bonus too, since they keep you from rewriting the same code over and over for all your types. Eternity now has about 40 different hash tables with about 4 different implementations -- unable to effectively factor out the issue of type in the hash linking and lookup algorithms, I have to settle for this. In C++, it could be easily eliminated. 0 Share this post Link to post
