Im well aware that some of the options listed are accually "family" but hey you have to give options :)

If I missed a important one, please go ahead and say it and Ill add it :)

Thanks jimbo11883: Forgot to mention that.

Some "languages" here arent actually programming languages but ,in say HTML, you can make a simple tic-tac-toe program :) Lets count them anyhow unless someone is against it.

Added Ruby and Ada :)

Added Delphi

I've only had chance to try Visual Basic and C++, atm, as I am just finishing my first year at uni (and have had too many assignments to try others lol); however, one of my mates at uni showed me some C# code and it looks SEXY! :o

Starting Java next year too, I can't wait! (Y)

I'd say C# and VB.net for windows programming.

PHP (and HTML and XML etc etc) for webprogramming. (technically .. it's scripting .. but ok)

A shame I don't know many more languages .. would love to have more time for ASP.NET 3.0.

Java suck big fat donkey balls. Not really into C / C++ .. guess I just never took the time. Not saying they bad or anything .. it's just .. with C#, VB and PHP.. I can pretty much make anything I need (from webservices to servers to mini apps to widgets/applets/gadgets etc).

Ps ... ugh @ Pascal .. times := sucky

How can you C# people stand not having standard fall through support on switch statements!
You can always emulate that with goto statements. And the evilness of the goto reveals the evil beneath falling-through cases.

I still don't know much about programming, but it's always a pleasure writing code in C#, with the nice Visual C# IDE. However I am somewhat more comfortable and knowledged with C++ now. I guess if I had to choose for all my life, I'd rather write in C#, but I love C++ too.

I took classes in C++ and one class in java and i would have gone with java. I learned a bit of C# on my own and like it better than c++ and java. Now im taking a graphics class in Java and I will say that I really like Java now since im learning more about Java since the last class years ago. I think i will get back into C++ (my friends just got an internship with Intel and he told me C++ is the way to go) and just stay strong in C++ and Java. Verilog is cool also.

PHP for sure...

Java is ridiculous... I hated it.

I don't care for Java either. It just has some weird idiosyncrasies and the way everyone formats Java code is REALLY hard to read to me.

Rewrite the switch statement so it doesn't require fall-through. :) The C# method is nice because it keeps you from making accidental an accidental fall-through that could end up causing a defect.

I disagree. Java makes a lot more sense than 95% of the languages out there...definitely more english-like than PHP

Java:

String greeting = "hello" + "world";

Println(greeting);

PHP:

$greeting = "hello"."world";

echo "$greeting\n";

A 3rd grader could understand that Java code.

My favs are Java and C++ btw

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By WaltC · Posted

      The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...

      Is it still super slow or has it improved on that area?

      There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
