The most powerfull languange is Assembler, Its the fastes and you can make everything... OF course some stuff will be harder than in c++ or any other languanges but some methods are also easier in assembler, all though you need to handle alot of code.
It all comes down to simplicity over time. If you need to create a program that requires supper fast processing, you need to use a language like ASM or C. If the program you are creating in theory doesnt show a noticeable difference between a select ammount of languages, it doesnt matter which one you choose, depending on what features you will be implementing... Keep that in mind. Sometimes it is better to use simple, quicker languages for things that do not make a noticeable difference between harder, "faster" languages.
vb for the win :p. Seriously C++ looks really nice and don't most people use it for hardcore programming? I mean you don't see games like HL2 and F.E.A.R. with java.
Mmm.. you might just end up being a lot smarter then I first estimated.. Welcome to the forum :DQuote:

Note that with the right compiler there is close to no difference in speed between C and assembler and no sensible programmer is going to make a large program in assembler :D
At the moment in Software Design and Development at school we are learning Assembly. It is not as hard as I thought it would be. It different from every other language but once you get the basics down it comes to you. Also you will learn alot how the computer works from the inside out. Great language to learn :)
Actually the difference between scripting and programming is there is an extra layer of interpretation because a script language( all as far as I know ) is made in a programming language and is not compiled.
It's basicaly adding more crap to go through but often simplifying things and it's only real use is for something specific. Javascript for example....
thats like saying 'what tyre shall I use for driving?'
A car..:no:Quote:

EDIT: Looks like a it can be spelt as either Tyre or Tire my mistake.
lol he must of edited his post.. I swore it said "what shall I use for driving"
Lol well here's a direct reply to his question: "Preferably all four mate".
You all cant read.
anyway:
I meant, there are lots of differnet tyres to use! Hard tyres, soft tyres, slimline tyres, tyres for winter and tyres for twisty tracks and straight tracks. The Formula 1 teams use the right tyre each time, based on the track. If they used the same tyre each time they wouldnt win!!
You need to pick the right language for what your trying to do.
Yeah but one tire isn't made using another tire literally.... seriously not even close.
Any problem a Scripting language can tackle a programming language can do it and better? why, well if a scripting language is made in a programming language.... think about it.
Btw what you said didn't make much sense, try learning English properly before telling us we can't read, and if your'e not natively English then the same applys.
He's definitely right!Quote:

In contrary, VB has two modes: either u allowed variable declarations implicitly or explicitly.
Also in my opinion, there's no best language unless you take it seriously.
