What is your Favorit programming/ML langauge?

**RealNickyDude** · Jan 31st, 2003, 04:28 PM

Seems a bit one sided, seeing as this is the VB.NET Forum

**ProgrammerJon** · Jan 31st, 2003, 05:03 PM

that's because I acedently put it here and i don't know how to move it.

no one can move threads in any forum but admins and moderators

(i think)

C++ is the best, althrough C#.NET is coming up nicely (speed issue).

**parksie** · Feb 1st, 2003, 09:04 AM

C++, because it is infinitely more flexible than VB, easier to use than C in most non-systems cases.

And it works on non-Windows systems as well

It says what is your favourite .NET programming language or was the .NET an after thought.

HTML

**parksie** · Feb 1st, 2003, 09:31 AM

HTML isn't a language.

Well, I read the title of the post, not what he said, so...blaaaahhh

**made_of_asp** · Feb 1st, 2003, 09:37 AM

I am suprised by the amount of people who like VB.NET ???

**DeadEyes** · Feb 1st, 2003, 09:54 AM

originally by parsieHTML isn't a language.

exactly!
For me It's C#; designed for .NET the others are ports and your bound to come by some problems as a result IMO.
Plus I think that going from say VB to VB.NET would be confusing.
I would be thinking of them as being same language and not a completely different one.

**parksie** · Feb 1st, 2003, 10:00 AM

I prefer C++, but for .NET, i wouldn't want to use it. C# is actually quite a good language, and it's the best tool for the job there, in fact *designed* for it.

**made_of_asp** · Feb 1st, 2003, 10:08 AM

C# is great for business applications and other data-style items. Everything else, is out of each of it because of slowness. C# syntax is good though (like Java).

**parksie** · Feb 1st, 2003, 10:09 AM

It's not that slow. And under .NET, C++ will run at more-or-less the same speed, since it's all compiled down to IL anyway.

The reason why there is so many people who voted for vb.net is because oringally it was in the vb.net forum.

whats IL?

**Sastraxi** · Feb 1st, 2003, 01:04 PM

Intermediate Language. It can then be compiled to a .net executable.

**The Hobo** · Feb 1st, 2003, 01:56 PM

HTML.Net? Where can I pick that up at?

**NoteMe** · Feb 1st, 2003, 01:59 PM

What about VB and cut the .NET...where is that alternative...

**ProgrammerJon** · Feb 1st, 2003, 03:56 PM

Lets pretend that vb.net is the same as vb.

That was what the oringal question was going to be, but I canged it(in the poll) and forgot to change that.

**NoteMe** · Feb 1st, 2003, 05:32 PM

OK then I will vote for .NET now...but I have never tested it....

Personally, I like Delphi best, and I'll tell you why.

Having slight experience in the C++ arena, I decided to give it up because I found it a little complex. A friend of mine got me interested in Visual Basic, but as I became more adept at it, I started having speed issues. The complexity of my code started slowing my programs down quite a bit, especially when I started getting into nested loops and API calls.

A few months ago, I met another programmer. One thing led to another, and we became good friends. I told him about my problem, and asked him if there was anything easier than C++. He told me to learn Delphi.

Ever since, it's been happy times. The speed of my programs have increased dramatically. Best of all, there was little transition time to Delphi, because it's almost exactly like VB, combined with the speed of C++. You guys should try it, it's a nice, simple language. I have already ported many of my programs to Delphi.

**NoteMe** · Feb 1st, 2003, 09:33 PM

Yes...Delphi is easy once you know VB. I used 2 weeks to make my first small game in Delphi when I tried it out. But I went back to VB. Now I'm learning JAVA and ASM at school and next year it's C++.

I think that one thing you have too think of when you are going to make an app/game, is to find the right tool for the job...

Do I have to shuffle a BIG dead raccoon up your ass, to make you stop saying that...

**hothead** · Feb 2nd, 2003, 09:59 AM

ASM? Sheesh, I took one look at it and cringed, heh. They used to have online tutorials on it at this site I frequently visited, but they went down now.

Learn C++... youll agree with me =)

C++ does seem to be pretty good for games, especially written to support DirectX/DirectSound/DirectInput. I use VB for smaller games, and Delphi for bigger ones. I hear DirectX on VB is really slow.

Does Delphi have a DirectX platform?
