Most popular programming language?

[James++]

Hi all,

I have been recently assigned the responsibility to conduct a survey,
the aim of which to find the most popular programming language. I know
that many of you program only in C#, but will be conducting this survey
in other groups. The outcome will determine the plans for the future
for some of the programming languages.

Please reply with the name of your favourite programming language Thank
you very much for taking part in this survey.

I personaly like the c#, because of the unmanaged ablility.
On the other hand...... The languages are getting so close,
why not try to maybe..... mix some of the syntext?
(I guess that would get confusing, hu?)

One of the things that fustrate me is VBA. As soon as you
convert to C#, then it is hard switching just to write VBA.
Unfortunatly I get the "joy" of writing that script language
from time to time. Why is there not a CSA?
Better yet, why is there even VBA!!!!!!

C#
Delphi


However this is not the way to conduct a survey.
Ever heard of 'Simple Random Sampling'?

Happy Coding

'Most widely used' would probably be a more useful thing to find out,
which you won't find out by asking people's *favorite* language. I am
fairly sure that worldwide, Visual Basic (pre-.NET) is a contender for
the former, but that relatively few people who express a preference
would name it their *favorite*.

My favorite is of course the lambda calculus. Hey, it's
Turing-complete, what more could you want?

 

[Peter Bromberg [C# MVP]]

C# 3.0 with LINQ.

Hi,

Wait, are you asking in a C# group which is the favorite language of the
poster?

Save your time, go to netscan.microsoft.com see how many individual poster
this group has and you can put this number down to c#

cheers,

Care to elaborate on that? I am curious just how far reaching your
influence is...

Prolog!

But isn't all this rather like asking a carpenter, "What's your favorite
tool?" There's more than one, for different purposes!

Hi,

I think he is refering to the plans inside his company, but probably you
knew this already and I did not understand the joke

btw, it was very nice to finally meet you

Ignacio,

Good to finally meet you too! It's a shame the summit is so large, and
too few days. It's hard to actually get together with all the people one
wants to.

Hope all is well.

I hope I'm not lighting a fire in a csharp group.

VB.Net is my language of choice

Now someone will probably ask me why am I then posting in a csharp
group.
I like both languages, but VB.Net is still my favorite.

The radest, badest tool on the planet.

 

[Nicholas Paldino [.NET/C# MVP]]

Wow. Well, good for you.

=)

Try keeping the post on-topic next time.

 

[Kevin]

What do you mean 'Try keeping the post on-topic next time'.
The post is about the most popular programming language and throughout
this post you have not yet indicated which language you prefer.

Wake up or get out!!!

Kevin

 

[Nicholas Paldino [.NET/C# MVP]]

I should have been more specific. Keep the post specific to the thread.
You were responding to a thread which had deviated from the root (it was
regarding myself and another MVP).

You should respond to the root of the thread.

 

[Kevin]

Oops, yes, sorry about that.
Still trying to get the foot out of my mouth.
Thanks for the polite response.

APL

APL

I have, but have never used, a copy of APL for the IBM PC (for DOS 1.0).
It's on 5.25" diskettes but would presumably still run in a Windows DOS box.
How much am I bid?

 

[Michael A. Covington]

Sorry, forgot where I was. That should have been on alt.folklore.computers,
or maybe eBay.

Please accept my apology for going off-topic.

I (and 15 of my fellow developers) am currently using a 6 months old copy of
Dyalog APL v10.1 looking forward to release 11 due out later this year. APL
has moved quite a lot since the days of IBM's version for DOS...
