what is your favorite programming language?
mines is c (c99) :D
No favorites here. There are languages I use a lot because they're very convenient. Javascript because it's the language of web browsers. Python because it's popular and has a lot of stuff built in. Also sdlBasic lets me package games very easily for Windows and Linux. With Tcl/Tk I can do the same with apps. Okay, actually Tcl/Tk I kinda like for a change. It's different, and neat. Others, it depends.
Gosh, I love a lot of them! I guess my number one favorite is probably C#, because I use Unity for game development, and because it's the only language that's paid my bills! For general purpose programming I love using Python and Go. Pip is so OP. I feel like I can bust out the most outlandish programs ideas with Python pretty quickly because there is a library for everything. "import antigravity" hahaha
I'm sure someone was going to write this one day, but mine is Rust. It's new and as someone who's switched from C++, it definitely doesn't have the same fleshed out ecosystem benefitting from years of dominating the industry. But there are a couple reasons why I chose it over C++. Cargo is the unified dependency manager I wish C++ had. It makes it so easy to test and add other libraries. Rust has a weird syntax for sure, coming from C++. But it introduced a lot more programming concepts to me, and learning the syntax seemed to be less daunting than climbing up the ladder of modern C++. I'm also someone who can't stop using a systems language, so it was either C or Rust. And I chose Rust because the main reason I wanted to switch was because I was looking for a language with similar speed and power to C++ but allowed me to write features in a much shorter time. It was like finding a middle ground between the speed of iteration in python with the power of C++. Although this isn't necessarily the best comparison I could have come up with.
