What is the programming language you mostly use?

Hi, thedeathknight. You seem to be a rather comprehensive fan of the C language. I agree with you in all the points about the C language.And i specially appreciate the degree of hardware support as well as speed C provides. I also prefer C over many programming languages. But, just to update your knowledge, i think i should add a few words. First of all, the latest releases of Java facilitate all those tasks that you mentioned about C. Secondly, the performance stats that effect your statements about the speed of C look a bit outdated. You say nothing can beat C, but there are already many instances (with logic) that languages like Java and Perl have not only beaten C but also pulling much ahead in many fields. Let me direct you to a few of the many links: http://www.idiom.com/~zilla/Computer/javaCbenchmark.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_performance Thirdly, C does not form the basis of all high level languages languages. Even, only the java launchers are written in C and the maximum part is java code. those launchers can easily be directly written in C. Don`t take it to offend, i just wanted to say that C is one of the best, but to claim it as the best is a bit of a exaggeration. Thanks for your response. Happy Mylotting!!

Yup, i agree. C sets the stage for the future. Thanks for your comments.

Thanks for your comments and they are definitely my personal comments and I am not trying trying to challenge any one who says that any other language is best. Daily new algorithms and new optimizing techniques are released and if not today, C will be beaten. But still I think the feel of programming that C gives is better than many of the other languages. With C as your language you could really understand, what programming is all about and how different languages and other stuffs evolve. Happy MyLotting.

Ah, that`s great. C++ is still the preferred core programming language. But, this is awesome that you made a programming language of your own and led it to an extent that makes it usable practically. I am really interested. can you please tell me some exclusive quality or the basic difference that your language possess, from the present famous languages. Or, can you please direct me to a link where i can learn more about GenC. I will love to learn more. Thanks for your response. Happy Mylotting!!

hi thokius, wow you made a language of your own. I tries making one in college but I end up making an interprator for C language. Can you give some more information about GenC or can you direct us to some website where we can get more information about this language.

Well GenC is a actually a formated version of C++ which I made so that I could easily work within my mind. It is used for editing and rendering genetic memory into 4 dimensions. It can't be used on a computer yet but me and my team are working hard on a system which will be able to transfer the information from the one to the other. If you are interested I could talk to the manager and set you up with a job there. Cheers! Thok

Hmm... Thanks for your response. Happy Mylotting!!

Yeah, friend, you may say that you are a programmer of previous generation as you mostly use C in the time of some modern languages like Java, C#, Perl, Lisp and their variants. But, C is a language that still forms the basis of all these high- level languages. Moreover, C and C++ are still the preferred ones for implementing the base of an OS. So, you are an expert in a very handy language. Keep it up. Thanks for your response. Happy Mylotting!!

You should take the time to look at this new language, it's so amazing see why here: http://reboltutorial.com It has a console and a GUI, with it you ca tweet in one line.

Ah, i must say that is a really concise answer. Surely, Java and C++ reserve their exclusive class. I hope you are quite handy at JSP, that is a great technology in web development, exceptionally secure. Thanks for your response. Happy Mylotting!!

Yeah JSP is really good. I used to program on PHP but now I'm on JSP. it'ts really good. And java is good wholy

Thanks, PrinceMaster, for your response. I also use Java more than any other language. I use C a lot, especially for low level programming. As for Python, it is a really nice language, with support for dynamic data types. That was a good suggestion about starting with Python instead of C, and it may work for many people but I am not starting to program, I have been coding for more than 7 years now. But, please mind one thing, as you are new to mylot. Please try not to post on discussions that are too old, especially the ones for which a best response has been selected by the person who started the discussion. If the best response has been selected, it will be shown just below the original discussion post of that particular discussion. However, I still appreciate your response.

Yeah, I am sure will get better with time if you adequately practice regularly. If you want to be an expert in coding, you can start with C and then jump to Java or C#. Well, there are heaps of other possibilities also. Thanks for your response. Happy Mylotting!!

Yeah, i agree, Java has been a revelation. Also, Java is a complete package that lets you do nearly everything. If you opt for the JSP support from java, you won`t have to use php for web programming. Thanks for your response. Happy Mylotting!!

Yeah, friend, you are right in most part. C is the most successful language of all time. Java is also moving ahead and certainly that no-pointer advantage of java makes it extremely stable. But, i think you should reconsider your statement that C has got a good memory management????? Thanks for your response. Happy Mylotting!!

That`s good. You have one of the most productive languages as your field of expertise. Well, this may be right that C++ is simple, but i think you should reconsider your statement that programming in java is a bit lengthy as compared to C++. Thanks for your response. Happy Mylotting!!

Yeah, i fully agree, we have to adapt. Also, you have got some very good languages in your set. I hope, you will soon be an expert in web designing too. Thanks for your response. Happy Mylotting!!

Hi, friend. You have got heaps of productive languages in your programming basket. I must say that you are using two of the most productive languages of this time, i.e. C# and VB.NET. C# is such a rich language that you may not need to shift to other languages in near future. Thanks for your response. Happy Mylotting!!

Hi, shanmukshista. I am curious to know the meaning of your comprehensive name that looks really scholarly, i suppose. Sorry not to have noticed your response coz i was not active out here for about a month due some technical problems. It is always good to start coding with C that forms the basis of nearly all present high level general purpose programming languages. Also, Visual C# is one of the most productive and powerful languages of the time. But, i am afraid you skipped the simplicity, power & uniqueness of Java in between, while jumping from C to C#. Keep up your programming skills. Thanks for your valuable response. Happy Mylotting!!

Yeah, friend. Quite right. I admit Lisp is certainly a very good language for AI. But, as you have interest in Java, you will find nearly all functionalities in Java that Lisp offers supporting AI, if you try to explore Java deeply. However, it may be rather relatively difficult to achieve same degree of complexity in Java as you can in Lisp. Keep up your coding skills. Thanks for your response. Happy Mylotting!!

Yeah, friend, you are quite right. It is good to see a webpro out here. I must admit that you have got advanced languages in your language set, like Ajax is the booming technology. I am sure you will add ASP.NET as well very soon. Thanks for your response. Happy Mylotting!!

Well, mark, i must admit that your language set is quite large, no matter some of them are growing old. Also, Microsoft Visual Basic is growing a bit old, but it is a very handy and productive language. Moreover, it is still the world`s most used language for programming. So, you are using everyone`s favorite. But, that`s right, programming skills are of great effort and to maintain them, you should at least give some time for developing some small, new, cool things. Thanks for your response. Happy Mylotting!!

Thanks brienn. I am glad to see a pro responding here. Of course, you use the everyone`s favorite. Even with the advent of many advanced programming languages, VB is still the most used for enterprise development. Also, VB .NET has been a great improvisation. Surely, you are an expert in your field, and i hope you will soon be a pro in VB.NET 2008 too. Thanks for your response. Happy Programming and Happy Mylotting too.

Hi ayushrathi, you seem to be new to mylot. First of all, Welcome to the amazing Mylot community. It`s good you use some of the powerful languages of the time. Actually, it is always a good mix to know to program in C and Java as well, coz the combination of these two facilitates you to program nearly everything. I must admit Perl is a great enhancement. I hope you will be Perl-pro soon. Thanks for your response. Happy Mylotting!!

That`s great. I am also a big supporter of Java, especially the OOPs concept. Thanks for your response. Happy Mylotting!!

Hello, friend. Welcome to MyLot. It`s good that you are going to start with languages like VB and Java, as both are simple, easy to program in and highly productive. However, one of the two languages that you mentioned (C or C++) is a prime necessity for any general-purpose programmer. I myself started with Java around 7 years ago, but I learned C and C++ also. I would have loved to help you out if I could, but I cannot; because I am not a VB programmer. However, if in case, you need any help with C, C++ or (especially) Java; you can simply send me a private message. I shall be glad to be of any help. Lastly, You are not supposed to reply to the topics for which a best response has already been chosen (such discussions are considered as resolved). In such a case, you just start your own brand new discussion. Have a nice day.
