No no no, I repeat what I said previously

You can say everything you want, we can't globaly compare these languages between them because they are not all in the same categories.

For example : what is the best way to do a dynamic website? C++ or PHP? Think about it...

well i like to make shellscripts even if is not a language it's really usefull and you can make lots of things with it

Perl: Fast, simple, least typing, need I say more.

My favourite, Python, wasn't listed. So I choose JavaScript which is actually a pretty cool language. Many people hate it because it has so many horibble implementations (I'm looking at you JScript ), but the language itself, it's OO and functionality is pretty cool.

Edit: It's also true that there is no one language that works for everything. But if there is one languge that comes at all close to fitting that bill, it's Python. Python is used for everything from linux kernel bug testing to gui applications to scripting for people like Google and NASA and even as interpereters in browsers and scripting engines for games like Civ4.

Perl, obviously. Unless you're building a stable, high-end consumer product, there's no reason to use anything as complex as OOP, as you get with C/C++, Java(script), etc. For my personal use, my best friend is having a toolbox language, Perl, where I can manipulate huge data structures with 5 lines of regexps. Yay Perl!

guys and wat's the best programming language that open the routes of work world????

I assume you mean a programming language that will get you a job.

The safest thing to do is learn as many as you can, preferably different sorts of languages. That way you can do pretty much anything.

Java is great becouse it is pretty simple, and you don't have to code anything totally from scrap... C++ is the best choice for game-programming, but that's not what I am doing so much... If you have PHP and JavaScript on the poll, then why couldn't you just put *everything* there, like flash, Action-script, coolbasic etc...
Sorry but I just had to put that there
That is nothing personal, but I don't think scripting is the same as programming...

It completely depends upon what your goal is.. for instance.

If i wanted something extremely fast and low-level, to do a repeated routine on a bare-bones box, or write a bootstrap/BIOS i'd use asm.

If i want a throwaway script which will grep out errors in my text, i'd use perl.

There are many different languages for a good reason - they each fill their own vital niche (except friggen' vb *growls*).

i vote for visual basic, couse its easy to learn

You could really include the high level assembly in that vote. And I see perl but why not python too, it is used by many.

VB is best .. bcoz its easy
no difficulties at all and we can find help over net easily
so i think VB is best
and i voted too

For Web is PHP but for applications C/C++ is great

I like C because it's the easiest to develop for the iPod with

I like them all, as they are fit for very different tasks, that is the key to versatile programming, in which you can use the best program for the best task.

C/C++ for low level tasks.
Perl for parsing text and cgi.
PHP for dynamic fast development web applications.
Java for very portable solid code, etc...

Etc...

There is no BEST programming language, if anyone states that, to me he will be just mentioning his/her favorite, as there are tasks (at least one) solved on an easier way with another language for sure.

My favorite languages are C, Perl and Python. If you need help with those, I am eager to help. If it is another language, I can help but searching for info, since I have low experience on most of the others.
