Shocking, I know.

Maybe the guy gets paid by the byte of code written? xD
(Lisp programmers seem to be rarer these days )

I originally voted for Java, that's what I use most often because it is so easy and good at doing a lot of things. Now, Haskell is my favorite. But of course, it's really all about the task at hand.
Java: my goto language for most software projects Perl: for scripting stuff beyond [12] line bash scripts C: because it's the only way to do the job sometimes, and I have a secret systems programming fetish Haskell: the SEXIEST language I've ever met, I wish I could use it more... |

I prefer Lisp (more specifically Scheme in Racket, former PLT), but I also enjoy the syntaxical challenges Erlang gives me. Done a little C work but didn't bother much with it.
Completely hate and disgust Java |
|
||||
I voted for Python because (for me, at least) it separates the problem from the language really well...i.e. I can focus on the problem and the language doesn't get in my way.
I do quite a bit of shell scripting in my daily work (bash and ksh, mostly), I love C and use it as often as my workload requires, and I find functional languages enlightening and interesting but mostly irrelevant to my needs. I have literally stopped a job interview and left at the mention of .NET/Java's role in the position I was interviewing for (I wouldn't have shown up if I knew ahead of time that they'd be involved!). |

It almost always is. It's just that most people don't realize it
Sorry to revive dead threads tonight but came back and saw lots of familiar nicks and wanted to say HELLO to everyone!

I just love C. You can do whatever you want. Just name it!
|

Yay Python is second
|
|

As an admin I dealt with Shell scripting so far and intend to master it down the line alongside occasional Perl which I never managed to get a tight hold.
Though I just promised myself that I will relearn to code clean in C like I did in my college days. Regards. |

Rexx and NetRexx are my favorite languages.

For many quick and dirty tasks php proves to be as versatile a tool as perl or python. Just opening a file, splitting lines into individual fields, cleaning up the data and adding it all into a database takes a few minutes max.

Programming language I like and use!
FreeBasic
Nice fast compiler, language has many many features and is backward compatible with some older versions of Ms basic etc. Language provides openGl support as well as other 2d and 3d game developement graphics and animation. Works flawlessly on Linux & Windows distros. Would be curious to see if it can be ported to BSD's. I program with basic for fun these days, realize it is not really cross platform and there exist many differences in dialects which cause porting problems. After years of writing batch files (on mainframes using Ed!) insuring power plant simulations meet ANSI requirements, I find FreeBasic fun and gets the job done fast for personal use. Also like Fortran, C, and shell scripts, although i need more study in all of them. Last edited by frcc; 3rd January 2015 at 01:25 AM. |

Adding yet another cul-de-sac to this thread.
For the last few days, I have been looking at functional programming idioms which can be used in many languages -- think sprinkling Lisp-isms to all coding. For those interested, Perl is a good candidate for functional programming, & perhaps the best tome of the subject is Mark Jason Dominus' free work: http://hop.perl.plover.com/ ...which is still available in dead tree form: http://www.amazon.com/Higher-Order-P...her+order+perl Enjoy! |

html != programming
Quote:
looking for is "coding" This allows you to maintain professionally accurate discourse without compromising populist appeal. Sometimes it is easier to allow a luddite to run off with their very confused sense of technology rather than combat their cognitive dissonance. Dissonance originating in the need to distance themselves from technology whilst making an effort to solve a technological problem. This is a tragically missed opportunity and failure of the technically literate, though it is inevitable. Quote:
reality, which is very useful when working in mass to solve highly technical dilemmas. Quote:
A descriptivist was taking an evening stroll with his lady whereupon they happened by some six descriptivists beating up a prescriptivist. The girlfriend exclaims "Aren't you going to do something!??" To which our intrepid descriptivist replies "No, I'm sure six are enough." Matt, you are taking descriptivist linguistic philosophy into a bar full of prescriptivism. I say prescriptivism rather than prescriptivists, because in fact most folks around here are really only concerned with colloquial language so long as it gets the point across. However, the application and adherence to prescriptivism within our chosen field of expertise (not linguistic philosophy) is not something to take lightly nor get combative about. You must adhere to agreed upon technical terminology in order to be successful among your peers within a technical field. HTML is not a programming language, it is a markup language, like xml or tex, it has no programmatic features. HTML may be expressed as a subset of xml, but this is not the case with tex. Javascript and PHP are often used to add programmatic functionality to the hypertext markup of plaintext and in such a case might in fact, be referred to as programming, however html coding by itself may not accurately be labeled programming as html is not a programming language. These distinctions are fundamental to the communication of nuanced technical concepts within the field of computer science. To define technical terminology as some wishy washy application of descriptivism is not only a pox on the field of both linguistic philosophy and computer science, it is arguably a foolish attempt to undermine the entirety of professional communication. To wit, might I recommend you vote for perl? Last edited by vanGrimoire; 7th November 2014 at 06:46 PM. |

I like to read about Common Lisp (the books I have are thoughtful and well written); I like Rich Hickey's talks on Clojure; Python is there to get little things done quickly or access BIG libraries in a (relatively) simple way; but I've got ten years of VHDL burned into my brain so Ada seems kind of natural (syntactically).
I'm surprised the OpenBSD community [seemingly] has no interest in Ada. |
