    I can't decide between Scheme and C++. Scheme is very clean and simple - elegant IMHO. C++ on the other hand is very complete and powerful. What's your favorite programming language? Preferred storyline: - I am your father. Search your feelings and you'll know it's the truth. Together we can rule this galaxy like father and son. - Ok dad. Let's kick some butt!

        Scheme is fun, but I couldn't see my trying to do anything serious in it. C++ is very straight forward (for the most part), and personally it is my favorite language. Ryan Johnston

                I'm still using a G3. I guess when/if they come out with a G5 or something I'll go through the upgrade again. If you even barely like Unix I'd suggest Mac OS X. And with 10.2 almost out, it's going be even quicker than 10.1, which is important for things like video editing, 3D animation, etc. Oh, just as an FYI, the AppleScript thing was a joke. :) My favorite lang is C, but I also love C++ for OOP.

                    i'd love to learn some of the 'functional' languages, since they seem so very nice and clean. but, until then, C++ is the only way to go. as a wise man one said: if it ain't C++, it's donkey crap. :) -c

                                  C++ and Python. I want to like Scheme/Lisp/other variants, but the syntax just kills me. Python is close enough in power to Lisp but retains a more normal syntax so that I can use it. Brandon

                                    C++. C# is interesting, but I don't like it very much. In fact, I would go as far as to say that C# isn't really a language--it's more like a scripted interface to all the API functions. But, I'm no expert on language design! Marc P.S. I hate namespaces.

                                      Definitely C++ although oddly at night I sometimes dream about writing Z80 assembler again :wtf: Which is odd because I never dream about 6502 or 8080 or Acorn RISC.

                                          C++ by a long way, followed by a gaggle consisting of Ada (fond memories...), 68k assembly language (hey, I'm a masochist geek with a yen for optimization measured by the processor cycle :-D, driven by the necessities of woefully underpowered realtime embedded systems!) and JScript...so long as it's hosted by Windows Scripting Host, so I've got regular expressions, the FileSystemObject and all the lovely things COM gives you ;P.
