Programming Language Question

(1/3) > >>

nkormanik:
Often asked, of course.  Just wondering what Skwire uses in addition to Auto Hotkey.  Do one of the big languages stand out?

Recently watched a video where a programmer said, "Today all the languages can achieve nearly anything.  No one is inherently better than another."

Thanks,
Nicholas Kormanik

mouser:
Here are some big questions you have to ask yourself when thinking about what language to use and learn, the answers to these will greatly effect which language is best..


* Are you primarily interested in learning good concepts and habits of coding or are you more interested in writing programs that do useful things?
* What platforms are you most interested in? Windows, Mac, Ipad, Android Phone, Linux, micro controllers?
* How important is GUI to you?  Are you interested in making desktop heavy UI applications, or academic console based applications, or games?
* Are you interested in getting a lot done quickly, or writing code that is super clean and organized but may take orders of magnitude longer to write?

x16wda:
Those are excellent questions Mouser! Anyone want to take a stab at a chart with those as column headers, and A-F (or 1-5) rankings for languages with which they are familiar?

I think you forgot one. Are you interested in making a living with your skills?
