Not another one of these threads...

Why is Java not in there?

And why does your sig have so much useless white space? X_x

Because the results may have changed since last week.

Or five minutes ago. Or whatever...

and as too the white space, would you rather it be hebrew?

Programming LANGUAGE or programming ENVIRONMENT? You listed one programing environment for each language up there, what if someone likes a different environment? A better poll would be "What's your favorite C++ environment" or such. All the VS.NETs count as one IDE anyway. This is a very incomplete poll (N)

And if its an environments poll, where's JBuilder? JCreator? NetBeans? ANYTHING for Java?

And J++ is fairly different from Java.

And yes, I would rather have that one line of (rather cool looking) hebrew than the mindless whitespace in your sig that takes up half my screen.

You can really tell the experiences of the author in this thread.

THERE IS MORE TO THE WORLD THAN MICROSOFT!

Sadly all but two of the options are for part of a Microsoft suite.

Ultimately it depends on what I'm doing. MFC/C++ aren't going to do me a whole hell of a lot of good if I'm writing an application for a palm pilot are they? Nor is VB.NET useful to me if I'm writing a program/script to yank some data from server logs on a unix system. If I decide to write something for a gameboy almost none of those are appropriate: the borland compiler could be made to work (i believe it will target the z80) but you'd be much better served with something like codewarrior.

Over all I'd say my first choice for an environment (assuming you mean language + API + appropriate runtimes, not "my favorite IDE") is Objective-C + Cocoa. Its very well designed, and even though there are somethings in xCode I would like to see cleaned up, it's a pretty respectable way of using that environment.

I actually enjoy writing regular old C in emacs too, and the old turbo compilers weren't bad either but I don't get much mileage out of those these days.

Yet another null vote because of the lack of poll options.

I hate Java with a passion.

Beyond that, like 'the evn show' said, it really depends on what you're doing. The whole C thing has been hacked up so badly that it's laughable (eg. Got to build apps for a specific compiler). However, it is the most popular way of building applications. I'm very interested by C#, particularly when used in conjunction with the an RC/Final of Longhorn.

yes, i left out a lot, im a mindless idiot freak and wierdo.

okay?

well i was mistaken, i thought J++ was java by microsoft

i dont know any other Java devs :blush:

and, i agree, sun have every right to sue MS for J++,C# and J#.

i actually quite hate ms, only reason i use them is because ive got access to all their thousand-dollar stuff 4 free (which is a lot of cash for me - twice as much as i own :blush: hey im 12) (go my dads MSDN gold membership :D)

get the point? i guess im a M$ person. lol

well you'll find that even though C# LOOKS a lot like C++, it actually "BORROWS" a lot from java.

and to think it was just to put in their browser.....lol

And Java borrows a lot from SIMULA, Smalltalk, and C++. The idea of a garbage collector precedes Java, as well. There isn't a lot that is original in these later generation languages, except that they are getting better at letting developers express there ideas easily and don't sacrifice too much runtime effeciency.

And where's Miranda (and Ada for that matter)? A language so advanced you even have to write a multiplier function! THAT'S a real language! :yes:

Personally, nothing has been better than 640x0 ASM

Could someone tell me why you would want to use C# over VB? :huh: I had C# one semester, and it sucked. I had to write about 800 lines of code, and then the next semester did the same thing in VB with 3. (I was displaying data in two tables as a datagrid, so this person in table A has a relation to these records in table B). What functionality does C# have that VB doesn't? Do I need to start learning this instead of VB?

If you did something in 800 lines in C# and 3 lines in VB, you did something VERY VERY wrong in the C# implementation.

Are you comparing classic VB to C# or VB.NET to C#?

VB.NET and C# are practically the same as far as capabilities (though there are exceptions), but differ greatly in syntax. I much prefer C#'s C-style syntax.

I started on VB, moved my way through C, C++, Java, VB.NET and landed in C# and haven't looked back (except when i've gotta use MFC/C++ at work). Not saying i'll never use anything else, cuz i've obviously progressed over the years, and i'll continue to do so - but right now, its C# all the way.
