Aqua-Soft Forumsmy favorite programming language is Ruby (Ruby WebPage) is the only programming language that I found where Fun and Programming can go in the same sentence 
Favorite Programming Language?
Been a BASIC boy since the days of Borland Turbo Basic. Now it's VB or bust.
eh i know basic, pascal, c++, java... hate all of them and don't really ever use any of them anymore. So i leave the programmin to others 
The only thing that I think VB is good for is API's, VB makes that so much simpler. I know VB (vbscript, asp, BASIC), C++, HTML (Whoopie, not even a programming language, but it helps boost my ego), Javascript, Flash Script (essentially Javascript), and PHP. But my favorite out of all of them has to be VB, only because I don't know enough C++ to replace VB at the moment. But, I'm sure that will change in a couple of months.
Moved thread.
I'm loving Python right now. I can't think of anything to write a script for though. 
this poll was oriented to the linux people that's why I post it in the other forum 
Contra, one day over a couple of beers I'll make you see the power of ruby you'll be a zealot in no time (Y)

Then why did you have VB as one of the choices. Since when did VB become available for Linux. DID I MISS SOMETHING!!! 
Gasp! My fainted heart. :sadwalk:
This has nothing to do with Customizing. That isn't a linux forum, its a CUSTOMIZING [*] forum.
Wizard: Mono will be able to run VB.NET.
what language is ruby most like?
look for yourself..
#!/bin/env ruby
require "date2"
5.times { puts "I am going to print this 5 times" }
3.upto(6) {|i| print i } #will print numbers 3 4 5 6
('a'..'e').each {|char| print char } #will print a b c d e
puts "Merry Xmass" if Date.today.to_s is "2003-12-25"
1...20.each { |x| puts "number: #{x}" }
def sayGoodnight(name)
result = "Goodnight, " + name
return result
end
puts sayGoodnight("John-Boy")
puts sayGoodnight("Mary-Ellen")
a = %w( ant bee cat dog elk ) # create an array
a.each { |animal| puts animal } # iterate over the contents
[ 'cat', 'dog', 'horse' ].each do |animal|
print animal, " -- "
end
class Song
def to_s
"Song: #{@name}--#{@artist} (#{@duration})"
end
end
aSong = Song.new("Bicylops", "Fleck", 260)
aSong.to_s » "Song: Bicylops--Fleck (260)"
I really like Java, I've been using it for two years now.
that ruby syntax seems pretty confusing for me... >.<
-frenzyfloyd
Ruby doesn't look bad...
Personally, I'm a C/C++/C# man at heart, and always will be
C# is my current favourite language - it's so flexible!
I've done my most recent work in Java, myself, though I'm also skilled in BASIC (including QBasic, VB, PRO/5), HTML/XHTML/Javascript/CSS, and a little bit in C/C++.
I'm on work term right now and I do all my programming in PRO/5.
-=EDIT=- And yeah, I agree with FrenzyFloyd, that ruby syntax looks like it could get confusing...
-=EDIT again=- Ruby certainly looks interesting though, I'm going to set aside some time to look through the documentation and play around with it, I think...
I've never tried any form of C (plain, ++ or #). I've been using Basic even before GWBasic and love it.
The new toy I'm playing with is Flash Actionscript, which turns out to be chaotic :-P
that's a very good place to look at examples of ruby code.
an EXCELENT ruby website notice the Windows 1 click ruby installer 
I know basic C++, and I'm in an AP Programming class at my school which teaches Java at the college level.
Right now, I'm whining to go back to C++...I HATE Java, C++ was sooo much easier.

Yeah, last year for the AP class, I had C++. Then my teacher said that "next (this) year the AP class will be java." The AP board sucks. They're basically taking a step backward. Just because Java is cross-platform and can be used over the internet, that's no excuse to going to a terrible language. C++ is much more powerful and useful in every way.
Although c++ may be a bit more powerful, java is starting to more than make up for it in ease and speed of coding graphical apps. I'm personally a C, ++, and # man myself but have also done assembly for IA-32, MIPS, Java, Python, and Perl. Our university is gradually starting to push more towards java. I can see where they're going with it. There should be cross platform code, but honestly, what system doesn't run c code. Let the compiler deal with it. Oh yeah, i also am interested in learning some VB so if anyone could point me in the direction of some good app coding for VB (cuz i hear its quite simple) then I would appreciate it.

For certain cases the pocket calculator would be better than the opteron. Can't really haul an opteron around in your pocket
And for my programming experience, it would be the latter of your assumptions. I know IA-32 assembler, as well as MIPS, Java (but not Java VM assembler), Python and Perl. duh.. :chair:
c++, assembler, java.

well anyway i toped programming coz i got SICK of it. 
now i want to join a circus and travel the world and if it is possible go to the Believe it or not show and be famous and millioner !!!!
thanks.

Me too!!
I always wanted to be a llama tamer. You know, those wild beast that always pick thier nose. No they are not related to Hitler, jeesh! 
Maybe be could make another "World's Greatest Show on Earth" or "Cirque de Sole" (sp?). :woot:
Now, all we need are midgets. <_<

Can't really haul an opteron around in your pocketThat was kinda my point - the two languages are aimed at different targets, so it's not really a fair comparison to say "C++ is better than Java" or vice-versa, unless you're quantifying your statement (even if it's only as far as "C++ is better than Java because I'm much more experienced in it", but experience shouldn't really be the sole reason for choosing an implementation).
