Hey Guys,
as mentioned above I would like to know what coding languages are regularly used by you and why.
In my case it is simple C, because I can bend every piece of code exactly to my will, and because
I love to code programs for microcontrollers.
-
I mostly use python for daily tasks. I use python more than any other language, because it is so easy and writing scripts is very quick, to automate daily tasks and whatnot.
Second would be Java. I use java almost as much as I do python.
-
Personally, when am in a hacking adventure and i need a quick and dirty code write up for the job, Python is my pizza guy. When it comes to applications that might have a longer lifetime on the desktop and have a bit of complexity, i dail up C++.
-
C++, it's the only one I've learned. Here's why,
* Flexibility, so many ways to do so many things. The possibilities are endless (just what a control freak needs), literally
* Am addicted to high performance
* Can make hardcore GUI
* Can be used to solve almost any type of problem and can be done with style
* Gave me many programming concepts
* Pointers and classes aren't a hassle to me
* Classes
etc...
Still getting deeper into it but am having hard time buying the time for big projects.
-
HTML ;D
Seriously, I love Python, but I'm also interested in learning C++ and Java.
-
* Flexibility, so many ways to do so many things. The possibilities are endless (just what a control freak needs), literally
It's basically either write C with Classes or C++. "There's more than one way to do it" isn't something one should strive for necessarily, look what came out of it in Perl. A control freak? Surely a control freak would desire one clean solution and panic at variance.
* Am addicted to high performance
In that case, go code in C/ASM.
* Can make hardcore GUI
So there's GUI libraries. Fascinating.
* Can be used to solve almost any type of problem and can be done with style
Congratulations, what you have is known as a Turing complete language.
* Gave me many programming concepts
Perhaps a little too much, to the point of becoming baroque.
* Pointers and classes aren't a hassle to me
C++'s abstract data types mean you hardly need pointers as much as you do in C. As for classes, well... you'll have plenty of them.
* Classes
I'm not sure why a language having classes is necessarily a good thing.
---------------------------------------------
Anyway. Holy shit, you guys are like a bunch of lifeless enterprise programmers. C++? Java? Oh well.
My favorite is Urbit (http://www.urbit.org/2013/08/22/Chapter-4-syntax.html).

Well my favorite is Malbolge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malbolge).
Ok seriously, my favorite is Frink (http://futureboy.us/frinkdocs/), it's awesome for conversion, physics, math, blabla.
-

Pffff.... my fav of all time is lolcode (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOLCODE)
-
In all honesty, it's Python and C for me.
Currently I'm also dabbling with Java, even though it's not particularly enjoyable.
Otherwise after I'm done what I really want to do is learn some languages with more unconventional paradigms. Like Lisp, Haskell and Prolog.
Especially Lisp.
-
PHP for short lifespan or dev/testing stuff, C++ for larger projects that needs to be native. But in all honesty I write in a lot of weird shit when its needed. PHP is my first go-to language tho.
-
Pffff.... my fav of all time is lolcode (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOLCODE)
Lol that's a funny language!
HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!"
KTHXBYE

Id say Visual Basic and C#. Tho really starting to like Python, coz of how i can get loads of stuff done in a few lines as compared to other scripting languages. Iv been coding in PHP for the longesf time though.

OK, i see you are doing python and PHP else i was gonna comment on how OS constrained you are with Visual Basic n C#.

I actually love the .Net languages coz those were the first i learnt.

Technically, you're "OS-constrained" with Python too. There's a whole bunch of API and library methods that are limited to Unix-like systems, although a Windows programmer can do just fine, too.
Additionally, a Unix programmer will do just fine as well with C# and even Visual Basic (although you have to be a world class lunatic, moron or both to use it) thanks to the highly developed Mono runtime environment.
Banshee Media Player and Smuxi are written in C#. Whether you should use .NET in Unix environments is a different matter and quite subjective.
-
Python for daily tasks / web. I used to do PHP for web, but got tired of it. Perl is also cool for scripting jobs.
C for everything else, because It's the one I'm more fluent and confortable with.
-
Pffff.... my fav of all time is lolcode (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOLCODE)
Every time i see KTHXBYE I cant stop laughing :D
My favorite is javascript for writing serious applications, because i really like the way it works and its connection to the web. My favorite for writing personal scripts to run small tasks, do homework, etc. is python, because its short and to the point.
-
I will have to say Python like so many others, and honestly I couldn't expect less. I know C is a very second close to it and I couldn't agree more; well more or less.
The only reason I'm saying python is because it is something I am most fluent in. The only other being C. Yes, I have done and also still do Java, but only for Android. I have and will do PHP if it needs it, such as anything web and needing a DB, or universal across multiple PC's that needs something in common to refer to such as a DB of tickets or something.
Hell, even GUI based apps and front-ends go to python since haven't been on or with Windows for such a long time, and even if Windows was an option, python minus file paths is my first choice. But python isn't adopted in the working world, but LAMP and WAMP is, P being PHP in my case since python is in the know and here for a lot of corporate America.
Although, when working with le Atmel or anything that doesn't use an OS it will be C. I do, however, use python on embedded linux such as ARM tech. But when and where C doesn't come in, it will be C. I have also done a bit of driver work and stuff with linux and getting a damn game controller to work with out the accelerometer and such, then C is the answer.
Python is coming up for a lot of stuff, mostly because it is so easy. And it can be powerful with the libs avail like hooking into DLLs and such. Anything python doesn't make since with it will be C for me.
I mentioned Java, and it is and only for now for Android Dev. Yes C/++ can be used as a core dev language, but the Devs them selves recommend using Java instead. C/++ with android is meant for things like 3D speed up and system and performance critical things, things I haven't come accross yet with android.
I have done VB.NET in school, and delved in C# and others, but if it can't be done with C or python, then meh.
Notable mention is, PBASIC and BASIC itself. Only used with 8bit microcontrollers though, so I can't tell much other than spinning a servo or reading from COM or flashing an LED.
TL:DR:
Python, C/++, PBASIC (special cases), PHP. In that order pending on application.
I have also been interested in BrainFuck, a lot like LuLzcode or whatever, but I have seen more on HackADay with BrainFuck than Lolcode. Probably will never get around to it, but much rofl's for it.
-
And here i thought there were people who actually liked Rails? lol
-
I don't think I made it clear, yes I posted what I used the most and such, but it is still doesn't matter. I code with what ever I think the problem needs. Languages really don't matter, they all play a part. I choose based on the problem at hand, and in a lot of cases the languages I listed.
Most scripted languages are a dime a dozen, I chose a few that work for me and I use them. Same goes with anything else. I my job requires me to use Ruby, by god I'll use it. If my job requires me to leave it up to myself to choose, then I'll make excuses for python unless the job requires something else like C, or VB.NET.
-
When it comes down to only liking the programming language and not what I use most or what I am best at or how the language implementation is that I use (that's all only important if you think of solving certain tasks with them), then Scala is my favourite.
Reason: I love programming functional, but there are some tasks that are a pain without imperative features. Scala is a functional-imperative hybrid and it is OOP too. It can be used to write small scripts without much clutter like classes around everything (similar to python), but it can also be used for large programs with all the structural features you need to separate the concerns and modularize your program.
Scala is relatively concise and has all the features I need and like.
Everything else, like OS independency or compiled vs interpreted is a characteristic of the language implementation and not the programming language itself, thus doesn't play a role in my view above.
-
and Python takes home the cup!! :-X
-
ASM, C && C++. I mention all 3 because they're different languages but for me they tend to blend together rather seamlessly.
In all honesty, it's Python and C for me.
Currently I'm also dabbling with Java, even though it's not particularly enjoyable.

@vezzy; Give Go a go. I think you might like it. From what I've seen of your personality, Haskell seems like a language you'd probably like though you may also want to learn some VHDL.

Update 2014: Python, C/++
-
>IDE
>Python
You're doing it wrong.
-
Hmm my turn,
Mostly I'm using C# because that's the language I've learned first and because I just can't get used to using Linux OS only.
Some months ago I've started learning Python because there are many python scripts pre-installed on Kali (which is the Distro I use). But the problem with Python is that there are big differences between the versions of it 2.5.x - 3.x and no friendly IDE!
The different versions are very easily controlled on linux.
Why is it your using kali linux, I wouldnt get used to that either as for a distro it is pretty crap.
-
I am love to do programming in C but doing programming in ruby due to my professional constraint
-
No.
I'm using it because my backtrack keeps getting messed up (can't update it)
Kali/backtrack , whatever, I meant something proper or any BSD flavour for that matter.
-
No.
Yes.
Anything beyond a standard text editor for a lightweight language like Python is overkill.
-
My favourite languages of all time are Python, C
8) and a bit of Lisp, elisp for my emacs configuration.
-
I mean "favorite" probably would be C++ along with one that I use the most but I too like ande use a lot of others for weird shit (we have fucking perl running some backend stuff for EZ along with PHP, C, C++, and a few other weird things).
-
it depends upon the call of coding
diff lang, diff uses and diff advan and disadvan
upon the situation the code lang depends.. they all powerful
-
I really like Python so far, after two hours of learning the basics I was able to write Port scanners and other tools. Given i already knew C so i was just learning some basic syntax etc it is still an amazing language. The extensive high level data types are great; however, I am sure I will still use C for writing the more complex programs.
-

Why? You can benefit a lot by using high level languages where it is appropriate.
They allow faster and often more bug free development.
-
I use Ruby for most of my projects that do not require native code.
-
I prefer Java and Lua. Python as a scripting language for tools and such.
-
I would say my favorite would be Python for everyday things because of the ease of use. My other favorite language is C++ because of the portability.
-
So like many other responses im going to put Python for everyday stuff other wise C++. I like object oriented programming it makes sense to me. While it is not for everyone in my brain i like to have thing s irganized that way.
-
my fav are c++ and python. writing in python is fast and pleasant. with c++ i can make almost all because it comprises both high-level and low-lewel language features
-
Instead of having a favorite language just use any language that will get the job done. Dont be a programming introvert use other languages more dynamically.
Yeah I have to say Ima go with java.

I highly doubt that you will find a programmer without a favorite language. There will of course be lanugages in which you enjoy coding much more than in other languages. It's natural. There will be times though, where you are forced to using another languages. You have to pick your language wise, since all languages have different purposes.
-
Because for doing low-level stuff, languages like C are paramount. Kernel development and the like is done in C and C++ (linux and windows respectively) for a reason. Also, while development may be faster in scripting languages without using adequate frameworks for languages like C and C++, actual execution time is worlds faster with languages like C and C++ which allow for more fine-tuned code and compiler optimization.
You obviously didn't read my post or the one I was responding to.
I am not an idiot. I know when it is appropriate to use C or C++ and that wasn't my question at all.
-
At the moment i am really into Python, so i guess that is my favorite language. Though i am starting to like C++ aswell. (Still learning though)
