Coding Cameron's Programming Tutorial #1 - What language should I choose?

[olsyboy]

@NanoNet I tried C.. Such a boring language to learn lol

C and C++ are different languages :) And C++ is oddly similar to Java 0-o

@NanoNet XD I'm not a noob, I do know lol
They have nearly the same purposes- both have been used to make operating systems..

@Younisco Yes, you could maybe read to some file or import a module to do it, but the language is not designed for that. At all.

@NanoNet YAML is tedious?
Just get an editor that does it for you xD

Well my brother didn't exactly import it / copy it, he did it for his computer science exam. :]

 

[olsyboy]

It's not copying.. Some things require a module

But it is definitely possible without a module, just would be hard lol

On a more serious note, learn everything and decide what's most appropriate.

C is nice for fairly low-level applications development - for a desktop program, I'd usually expect it to be written in C or C++ (C is, in most regards, a subset of C++ so you can learn C first and then start using C++ features or just go for full-on C++.)

C++ is similar to Java because Java was heavily influenced by C and C++, and they're both object-oriented.

Python is generally a nice language to learn with because it's syntax is similar to English in a lot of respects. It removes most of the brackets and is picky about newlines, tabs and spaces, but usually an IDE or editor (Pycharm <3) will tell you about that. There's a nice document called PEP-8 that documents the standard.

Java generally scales well for large web applications, although people seem to see it as fairly antiquated these days. That said, it's a lovely language to write in, and the standard library and documentation makes it pretty easy to do almost anything if you want to.
