For general purpose Python,
For elegance Clojure,

>>745774443
I only know java but I'm learning C now. I'm guessing yours is python?
>>745774443
Different languages are better for different tasks, why bother picking a favorite

No offense, but I kind of hate python. The whitespace thing is kind of a giant pain in the dick, especially when cutting and pasting code, or commenting out to troubleshoot. And the version 2/3 thing sucks. I like that you can whip shit up quick, and there's ton of code to take from the net, but those two things kill me.
>>745774815
Agreed
I prefer C++
>>745774443
APL
Is this a sound investment?
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
I am Dr. Bakare Tunde, the cousin of Nigerian Astronaut, Air Force Major Abacha Tunde. He was the first African in space when he made a secret flight to the Salyut 6 space station in 1979. He was on a later Soviet spaceflight, Soyuz T-16Z to the secret Soviet military space station Salyut 8T in 1989. He was stranded there in 1990 when the Soviet Union was dissolved. His other Soviet crew members returned to earth on the Soyuz T-16Z, but his place was taken up by return cargo. There have been occasional Progrez supply flights to keep him going since that time. He is in good humor, but wants to come home. In the 14-years since he has been on the station, he has accumulated flight pay and interest amounting to almost $ 15,000,000 American Dollars. This is held in a trust at the Lagos National Savings and Trust Association. If we can obtain access to this money, we can place a down payment with the Russian Space Authorities for a Soyuz return flight to bring him back to Earth. I am told this will cost $ 3,000,000 American Dollars. In order to access the his trust fund we need your assistance.
Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount to your account or subsequent disbursement, since we as civil servants are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/ or operating foreign accounts in our names.
Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed to offer you 20 percent of the transferred sum, while 10 percent shall be set aside for incidental expenses (internal and external) between the parties in the course of the transaction. You will be mandated to remit the balance 70 percent to other accounts in due course.

You wanna way in on that, bud?
>>745775361
You a statistical analyst or something?
>>745774786
I agree. programming languages are just that; programming languages. Computer science as a whole on the other hand is one hell of a beast.
I don't really have a favorite programming language but I do have favorite algorithms and data structures.
>>745774443
Hacks
C#, javascript, python
i also use php but it sucks
Objective-C.
Apart from favorite programming languages why don't we talk about our favorite algorithm? I have a soft spot for Breadth First Search in particular because of how simple it is. Plus the O(V+E) complexity is pretty nice too
>>745774786
i love whitespace!!
c++ was my baby for a while though.
>>745775486
What are they?
C is the best, with a light sprinkling of assembly for when you've got to write your bootstrap code.
Pythons pretty good I guess for automating tasks I suppose.
>>745774443
Clojure for data science and hobby projects
Ruby for web development
C for speed
>>745774443

Old C programmer. Now all I do i some occasional PL/SQL. Yes its a real language.
Perl because I don't like other people reading my code

Hi 1993, haven't seen you around lately
Personally I like Clojure and other lisps but I think it's really just for fucking around and writing simple web shit
Scala is a great language if you want a real future in software engineering. It's growing a large functional programming community and its libraries are getting very close to Haskell. On the other hand it's a super concise and practical version of Java with a tonne of world class libraries and frameworks.
Spark and Akka and others can be put to work in the most demanding ML and RT analytics applications
Python is for children
>>745774443
Depends on what I'm doing, but usually it's python.
>>745774443
Any tips om learning python? Im currently bought a full stack web dev course off udemy and im looking into getting python once im done
>>745776887
I was referring to the PL part. I don't expect a lot of people to have even heard of it.
Anyone here do stuff with VeriLog or VHDL? I am thinking about getting an FPGA devkit.
favorite is subjective, certain languages are better suited for certain tasks. javascriipt and php are mine.
>>745776755
i replaced PL/SLQ with entity framework and lambda expressions
never did anything complicated with it though
I wrote some source code in many programming languages, but ANSI C is my favourite. It's minimalistic, fast, system and machine level, elegant and clear. I like it so much that I didn't have any motivation to learn C++.
>>745777457
>forgot the picture
>>745777406
I have no idea what that even means.
can anyone support it or are you the only one who knows that?
Great thing about PL/SQL is that its very common and easy to follow.
so many C coders here
what do you do with it? i just use it for arduino
>>745775798
I like one-time pad, because it's a simple but perfectly secure encryption scheme. Fuzzy C-Means is also pretty cool.
>>745777613
I wrote most of the programs for uni in it, from algorithms, data structures, through GPGU, concurrent and parallel programs to image processing (color image segmentation). ANSI C is pure power.

Dude I'm trying to work through this but it is wearing me down. I guess I just don't know enough about operating systems or compilers.
ok
what language to make a keylogger in? im having trouble passing inputs from anything but the shell
Java is a brilliant language, I'm sad that it didn't take over the world like they predicted it would. By far my favorite, fuck pointers
>>745778411
Baby steps, iteration is king. By the way, I didn't start with this book, it's great when you already know a bit of programming in C.
>>745778377
Damn it's been a while since I've used java. Have you been taught printf () yet?
>>745778490
C
>>745778499
Java is the second most popular language according to TIOBE index and it's most popular in IT companies, so you shouldn't worry. Also, the variables for objects in java are reference types, they are somewhat pointers.
>null pointer exception
>>745774443
python and assembly. I have two favourites.
>>745778377
You don't have a space after "Hi" dipshit
>>745778321
Thanks for the tip.
>>745778411
The problem with that book is that it isn't for teaching one programming, it's for teaching one C. It was written for programmers coming from B, Pascal, and a few other languages that already had some knowledge of programming. That's why it tends to present things like "To do this in C, do XYZ" but rarely talks about when you might need to do that or why it is useful. I think it is an excellent reference text for C, but I don't think it is a very good introductory book for people with no programming experience.
>>745778729
Of course, just more intuitive than * and &
>>745778655
just been taught println and the very least of Scanner
I believe im having trouble with the import statement

THis is how you get a string input in java??
Bahahahahha

just wait until you need a switch case statement or a ternary operator...
there will be no mercy upon your soul
fucking bashing my head against the moniter tryina figure this shit out
just started a job not too long ago writing web apps with angular2 and node, have zero experience with front-end
fuck javascript hard, I miss java
As you get better, you will realize that language doesn't really matter.
After you've learned how to program, learning a new language isn't very difficult.
>>745779364
i just want it to clean the floor for now
>>745779590
Anon put keyboard.close() at the fucking end
>>745779285
...i think you mean cum pilers...
>>745775361
"For general purpose R,"
right...
never heard of pandas in python,my nigga?
>>745778490
C.
C++ if you want a pretty interface and things.
>>745779629
agree but most fags here are just students, hence the emphasis on C or assembler as their favorite language
>>745779661
using(var disposableVariable = new ClassImplementingIDisposable)

Haven't they ever heard about premature optimization?

thank you my fellow /b/tards you just saved me a monitor
What I fucking hate about C# is the retarded "braces take an entire line to themselves" convention. Makes code so hard to read sometimes, and so long.
"But anon, it's not mandatory". Well, yes, it is if you're working on a team project.
>>745780348
Whitespace is your friend.
>>745774443
brainfuck
>>745780348
calm down champ, is not that big of a deal
>>745780348
Braces on an entire line kind of allows you to easily draw your finger down to see where the braces end.. idk
>>745776900
I'd go more with 1986 or later and I get my console over RS-232, the OS I work on has shit video support. Such is the life doing embedded OS programming.
It does feel pretty good though once you get a card to boot from scratch having just the architecture manual and the datasheets from the manufacturer.
>>745780694
I prefer them too
Do any of yall feel like when you use recursion like you're just jacking off all over yourself? Or is it just me?
>>745775798
>O(V+E)
>Oy ve
Good goyim
>>745780899
When I started out, yeah it certainly felt that way. After a while though you will get used to it. It helps to try and draw out the recursion tree visually to see what your code does sometimes at least for really small test cases
>>745777251
Look up Vivado, literally makes programming boards with verilog 2ez.
Gives you great visuals of your logic, debugging before programming the board, a decent IDE, highly recommend.
>>745780934

php with wordpress for my hobby websites
C for IoT with arduino
i want to learn python for machine learning with tensorflow because is so hot right now
as fast as c++ is i mostly get lost in details, i like java more because you can just write down your idear without thinking too much about it
>>745774443
I like whichever language I am paid money to write.
>>745780348
pretty pretty braces.
This code is a bit weird, parallel.for that returns a value, and outputs it's progress on the console.
What os do you guys use when you write code?
What do you recommend for someone just starting out? Should I dual boot or just run from a flash drive? I've never even used another os aside from Windows, let alone set this shit up
programming with style
>>745781760
Just use windows. As a beginner, you aren't gonna get any meaningful benefits from learning a new OS AND learning how to program.
>>745781760
os is not so important, if you are comfortable using windows go with that
>>745781920
Well I already know a little programming (a year of java plus a little c)
>>745774443
Snap.
Fast, reliable, and easy.
>>745782075
OK, keep using Windows.
If you need linux, use hyper-v

>>745784548
You don't actually need OOP in java. Just use a single massive static class, aint nobody gonna mind.

The biggest problem with python is that it seems easy to use, so there's lots of inexperienced people using it.
Additionally, python will let you make a mess if you want to. I think duck typing heavily contributes to this problem.
A skilled programmer can be careful and make a very well designed program. Meanwhile, an inexperienced programmer can create huge messes that sort of work, but are all fucked up. The problem is python lets you get away with this, so you don't have as much of an incentive to fix it. Instead, you spend all your time thoroughly memorizing your huge program.
Another annoyance is that a lot of conventions are ugly (if __name__ == "__main__":).
>>745787264
same problem with visual basic and php
You can write shit code that somehow works.
hungarian notation is evil.
>>745784249
>>745784448
>>745785709
Java references are very similar to pointers. You just can't do arithmetic or see the memory address as a number. Otherwise, it is functionally the same. Probably implemented the same, too.
>>745774443
Ruby.
No other language should exist.
I am learning javascript now though to customise web apps better
>>745787826
Why don't they just give you pointers then?
>>745788283
Because, it makes garbage collection complicated.
>>745788028
Ruby is good, javascript (node) is good but to say no other languages should exist is moronic.
See how bombastic statements are stupid?
