Coding

What languages do you guys code in? As for me: BASIC, JB(Just Basic), RB (RunBasic), VB (Visual Basic), COBOL, FoxPro, Liberty Basic (LB), Python, C#, C, C++ and Java. That was compiler and IDE based. As for web: HTML (no duh!), CSS (no duh x2! (not factorial)), PHP, ASP.net, JS, Ajax and Flash. I am fluent in most so...

Re: Coding

That is a lot! I am impressed.

Why not list Java in the web-oriented languages. The primary use of Java today is in making web applets, after all...

Uh-huh. What do you use it for, then?

Re: Coding

Also, it is nt a very impressive list. Most languages (the BASICs) are very similar. Along with that, I don't seem to remember all the functions and occasionally have to look at the help file for the more complicated built-in functions. By the way, what languages do you program in?

I only code in two now but when I was younger I programmed in all Basics, Assembly, Forth, Lisp, Mathematica, Maple, C++...

Re: Coding

Mathematica which has features of Prolog, Lisp and others. Maple too.

Yes, for programming nothing beats assembly language. The actual machine instructions.

Learn JustBasic. It is exceptionaly easy. And I meant to learn Machine Code. It beats Assembly.

Re: Coding

There is no difference between machine code and assembly. No one in their right mind would ever code in straight machine. Instead we use assembly.

Other than the first developers. And I don't like Mathematica as you have to pay after the trial is over. I heard 8 just came out though.

Re: Coding

Mathematica combines programming with mathematics. The effect is dazzling. There are freeware alternatives that are its equal.

Hi;

For what? To download? To learn?

Learn. I want to adapt to a new language, rather the the usual web programming and developing C++ programs.

Re: Coding

Hard to beat C++ for general programming. It is fast!

To go to a new language you would need a reason to do so, wouldn't you?

Re: Coding

What other reason to learn than to learn? Frankly, C++ it complex and gradually uninteresting.

Re: Coding

Get deeper into python is one idea.

Sage, which is used by gAr is python based and as powerful as Maple or Mathematica. But you need to be running Linux.

I never tried Ruby or Perl except to learn regular expressions for other programs.

Re: Coding

If you are bored by C++ you can try J, or some of the esoteric programming languages (Brainf*ck, Whitespace, Shakespeare,...).
