I followed the thread about programming languages.
This is what I think about it.

1. Assembler is my first preference, nothing can beat it.
Possitive = speed, negative = much code.
Will be the language for the real programmer

2. VB on the second place because it's easy to learn and
very good for most applications.

3. C/C++ in combination with assembler most beeing used
for games. Not so easy to learn but also good for speed.

We also have Powerbuilder, Clipper, Foxpro, Delphi but I
think the 3 languages are still those mentioned above.

Every programmer will like the language he knows best and
it's not so easy to compare all that unless you know every
language and write the same application to check everything.

Let me know if I'm wrong.
