Not necessarily, it all depends on who you ask. Maybe for you the two are separate.

They are, I can sympathise with anyone, whatever programming language they use...but, I can pity the ones that use ms languages (access, visual basic and other accidents)

Very difficult to choose. Python, Perl, C/C++, Lisp and Lua!

I can vote for all this?

Well C++ is it!

FreePascal of course:

1. neat
2. simple
3. fast

peonuser · 01-04-2012, 06:31 AM

Freepascal, why not Freebasic? I use whatever will get the job done.

miquelmatas · 01-04-2012, 08:29 AM

FreePascal/Lazarus

Cultist · 01-04-2012, 08:36 AM

Python, because I'm a total python *censored*

Kruptnick · 01-04-2012, 09:34 AM

Didn't program in Ada as much as I wanted last year...
Voted for it anyway. For what it matters, it seems I've no friends

mariuz · 01-04-2012, 09:50 AM

voted free pascal , works on android , mac, ios and any linux

Telengard · 01-04-2012, 05:04 PM

Trying to teach myself a bit of Lisp right now, so it gets my vote. At first blush a very strange, but promising language.

Yeah, had to learn Ada back in the early eighties when I was with the DoD, since it was kind of the *official* adopted language (and yet I never used it - Most things were done in COBOL anyway).

I picked C, because it's the basis for most things, but I most certainly would have chosen PL/I had it been in the list, because it's such a kewl language and the compiler runs on Linux too - It's not just for mainframes anymore

I hope that helps, and that you add PL/I to the list too Jeremy

Kindest regards,

Picked up a copy of Learning Perl (Schwartz, Phoenix, d foy) in 2011, and became enamored with the language. Seems like the most appropriate vote for me, even though I used - and deeply appreciate - several languages on the list.

I'm a little surprised Bourne shell and awk are not available as poll choices.

Lazarus RAD IDE + FreePascal compiler, of course!
It is absolutely amazing programming enviroment, free, cross-platform and very advanced.

I think there is no real alternative to it...

clauslack · 01-05-2012, 08:33 AM

FreePascal/Lazarus the best RAD GUI cross plataform Languaje.

I vote "Right tool for the right job"
