What are you programming in?

Catwell

What are you programming in these days? For me it's Assembly and some C/C++. But it seems that it's becoming time to move past all the old tried and true languages for the new. Now you have to know C#.net, Java, and whatever syntax you need for whatever new processor you have to work with. For example, you can't be a straight HTML programmer anymore, you need to know Flash, SQL scripting, CSS, Shockwave, HTML5, and whatever the flavour of the month is, to a high degree of proficiency. It's a lot to know. So, how do you choose what to learn? A few people I knew several years ago were learning Python and Fortran from some reason or other, boasting it's where Engineers have to migrate. Neither of them used those languages. Now they are studying Java and Objective C. To avoid this cycle of learn then learn another, what should we all program in?

    Hi Cabe,

     

    For micros I use C, I haven't yet been able to learn assebly ( I intend to though, it's the only way to pull every last drop of performance).

     

    For PC development, I use Python along with it's various extensions (Mostly Tkinter). I'm not at home in software so I haven't focused on learning many different languages, but I have found Python to be very user friendly and easy to learn. For GUIs Tkinter is a breeze even though I'm still getting used to it. I'm open to using C on a PC as well but haven't really needed to since computers have so much horsepower you don't have to fret over resources.

     

    My 2 cents,
