Sorry if this topic has already been covered. I did a search and didn't find it.

I paired java and c# together because they share a lot of ideology in the design. There wasn't enough room to seperate visual from not visual, so I had to group them together. The same goes with FORTRAN and COBOL, etc.

Sorry, you can only pick one, so you'll have to narrow it down.

I pick Perl, because it's the easiest to quickly get what you want done, and it's humorous to do "sh^\s/\d$h\d/\wh" and other impossible to read things.

How about good old HTML?

That would be a markup language, not a programming language. That and any moron can write a good looking HTML page.

How could you group perl with python :angry:

I love perl, and I hate python with a passion. After learning perl, python feels like it is castrated.

Truthfully though my 3 favorite languages in order are perl, assembly(yes, x86), and C++.

Perl can do anything, any way you want to do it.

Assembly offers you so much control that many people don't know what do do with it.

C++, I really don't know why I like it, I just do.

perl and python don't deserve to be grouped any more than java and c#, but i only had 10 spaces.

PHP/HTML/XML weren't listed because, as was stated before, they are markup languages.

to the EE: so, you plan to only make dumb, static devices then? There is a reason CS and EE are the same dept at a lot of school now.
