      If Microsoft & WindowsMetro = HTML5_JS_ONLY Then Mood = WTF. End If. I do NOT WANT HTML5 and JS! Also, I'm considering cross-platform. So... Java? C++? Python? Bacon?

      Use Q&A n00b language!

      plz I need codez for program wich cn recogniz face expresions. Want in c#. its urgentz thx.

      The benefit of this language is that you (theoretically) would never have to worry about anything because others write the code for you. Practically this language might be hard to master though ;)

      It's an OO world.

        How about noting down language? Start program RichTextbox Shiny Buttons (no ribbon) Status. Every feature in Word. No menus. End program. (Yes, I'm a experienced programmer in VB.NET)

                      BeFunge is the best for parallel programming. I had written an interpreter one time but it didn't work. There are plenty of them availible for free, though.

                          I'd go with BACON - I'd cross a platform to get at it.

                            If you knew BeFunge then you wouldn't say that. There is no BACON which would beat it.

                              It's a historical thing. In BASIC only arrays could be explicitely declared, with a specified Dimension. Now every kind of variable can be declared but the Dim keyword remained.

                                It's from the misty days of "Once upon a time" when all variables were arrays. The original keyword was dimension, which later flavors shortened to dim (the old comment indicator, rem, is similarly derived from the keywork remark.) A statement such as

                                DIM v

                                was just an abbreviated version of

                                DIMENSION v(0)

                                    Dimension almost makes it sound kind of cool... :^) Wikipedia quote: In computer programming, BASIC (an acronym which stands for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a family of high-level programming languages designed to be easy to use. Never knew that's what it stood for either! :laugh: BASIC was used before I was even born though... Well, it is probably still used somewhere, but you know what I mean. Ouch, I guess I really lack some historical background knowledge for a VB programmer. Perhaps I should start learning FORTRAN and Lisp and get some historical programmer sense too :)

                                          It's from the misty days of "Once upon a time" when all variables were arrays. The original keyword was dimension, which later flavors shortened to dim (the old comment indicator, rem, is similarly derived from the keywork remark.) A statement such as

                                          DIM v

                                          was just an abbreviated version of

                                          DIMENSION v(0)

                                          I especially liked LET. Assignment statements once had to start with it:

                                          LET A = 1
                                          LET B = 2
                                          LET C = A + B

                                          Code sounded much nicer back then. :)
