I vote for VB for several reasons. I say this, having designed 2 fully operational procedural languages. Professor E. J. Yannakoudaks eyan@aueb.gr

Python is my fun girlfriend. C++ is my dependable wife.

I see both points of view, but
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand();
Seems a bit redundant. I prefer "var" there (especially for generic types). Most other times I use the type - it helps keep code readable. Maybe you should be arguing for coding standards where you work that codify these things (always a shame you need to tell people). Better still, stop employing sloppy programmers.

Exactly. I agree. Especially when you are handed code like this:
SomeClassWithACrazyLongNameThatGoesOnAndOnAnd bacon = new SomeClassWithACrazyLongNameThatGoesOnAndOnAnd();
The one that makes me laugh (while pulling my hair out) the most is when I see:
var bacon = 3;
Now THAT is not even laziness, just silly...except for the bacon.
The world is going to laugh at you anyway, might as well crack the 1st joke! Have you tried turning it off and on again? Have you tried forcing an unexpected reboot?

FORTH is the one true language...at least for anything requiring real time controls. It allows you to freely intermix high level and low level code as you create a new language to match your task. Your commands can become active during compilation and can start reading your source code to perform functions not built into the compiler. It supported the rudiments of object orientation, long before the terms and methodologies were created. FORTH code is smaller than machine code and operates at 80% of compiled C code. Being stack based, unit testing is a snap. No need to create scaffolds for testing. Just load up the stack and execute it. Each command (verb) can be compiled in immediate mode and immediately tested. In team environments, after we define our points of contact, we generally just zipper our code together and it all works. I became a true believer after we slapped together in just six weeks a project I estimated to take nine months (and I'm good at estimating). We literally slung code at a wall and it all stuck. Later projects let me write code that wrote itself by expanding the compiler dynamically. It was fast too, I'd compile 300K programs in 30 seconds while C compilers at the time would take hours. It is interactive, you can add commands while the program is running (particularly after you have added multi-tasking to the language instead of the OS), so you are not stuck in the Edit-Compile-Run-Debug-Repeat cycle. That said, I still prefer to let the task select the language. If I am going to be parsing strings, my first choice is BASIC, and I don't mean that perversion called VB.NET. But today my language of choice is C#.NET because it is less verbose than VB.NET. Mostly because it is a commercial decision and there is no Object Oriented FORTH (of merit) until I guess I write it.

Hello, deciding which programming language is most likely one depends upon the ease of use less complicated still productive and the variety of udate feature If that is the case than i think C# is the only option. Thanks

C# for thousand reasons regards.

None of the features mentioned on the linked page are actually features of C#. Except Garbage Collection, all the features are of Visual Studeo .NET IDE. And Garbage Collection is not provided only in C# but this is available in almost all .NET languages (VB.NET, Visual C++ .NET, C#.NET and other more that 20 languages). Garbage is collected by .NET CLR and not by any of the language itself.

SQL. Because it's the best way to access and manipulate the data I need to access and mess with, and I can use it via a number of other (general-purpose) programming languages (C#, VB.net, C, etc.) as appropriate.
I have asked about programming language and SQL is not a programming language, it is a query language only for database. However Transact-SQL (T-SQL) of Microsoft, for its Ms SQL Server, is a programming language.

Seen a lot of variations here, wow. My choices are PHP, JavaScript, FoxPro because these are loosely typed languages. Coding in these languages is faster and mostly less code is required to perform most tasks than in other languages. They also have wide wide range of functions and support available.

After this debate (favourite programming language) completes, I will ask another question and I can predict your answer to it. Here is the MD5 key of what you will say according to my prediction : 47ada99041b9bdfbf695925f08eb6ada It is generated using MySQL. I will give you the original text in a reply to your reply of the next question which I am going to ask. And then you should be able to compare that text's MD5 key with the above key. Till than may your soul rest in peace :rose: ;)

Any one that lets me write the applications I need to write in the smallest amount of time possible, with the greatest accuracy.

You should definitely hate assembly... So much fun to write IMO.

SQL may not be a general-purpose programming language, and it may not be a Turing-complete programming language, but it is a programming language.

Even though I am proficient in Java, C#, and Ruby; I enjoy using VB.NET to write the bulk of my applications. The biggest reason that I enjoy VB is based on the fact that a programmer can make use of dynamic arrays.
For example in C# and in Java programming, the use of an uninitialized array is not allowed. But in VB a programmer can create an empty array when the numbers of elements are not known at design time or when the application is used.
I would like to see the ability to use the keywords like ReDim and Preserve to use dynamic arrays in any programming language without having to create an atrocious workaround to simulate the effect that is there for the VB programmer to use. -
