I picked languages that are examples of programming models. I was working under the expectation that we only had 4 poll options, so python was the one that cut off.

funny. I might just cough up a better poll.

Im surprised, no votes for lisp.

Just curious: how many people here have actually learned all five of those languages? I have, although I didn't get very far with Perl and I hear it's changed a lot since 1996.

i've never messed around with LISP

PERL is currently being rebuilt from the ground up for verison 6.

But perl has gotten to the point where you nab a module, and have a solution finished in less than a couple of hours

Never used LISP or Python, but I have used the other 3.
Java's my fave out of them.

You didn't list ASP. Really like ASP so far. Variables are much like Visual Basic (VB) or VB Script.

There are a lot of computer languages but that wasn't the point of your poll... You wanted "Web Based" stuff didn't ya?

:P

LISP = Large and Incredibly Slow Programs
PROLOG = PRobably Language Of God
RPG = Random Program Generator

You forgot Modula-2 and -3, which imo are very cool and have very good programming constructs and methodology support - too bad they never became real popular. Then there is FORTH, which is a stack-based programming language that is or at least was very popular with astronomers ... it is really neat.

I've used C on and off by necessity for 20+ years. I was one of the first 100 people to receive Sun's Java Programmers Certification and Advanced Programmers Certification. I have monkeyed with PERL on and off for over 10 years. I screwed around with LISP for a few months way back when. I have never programmed in Python but from what I understand it is an OK platform.

I vote none of the above ... C++ will remain my mainstay as it has for the last 16+ years simply because it fosters the reusability of code and can match the performance of any other language if you know how to use it correctly. However, I would punt it immediately if Smalltalk ever came back and got a foothold.

Ice, if you're looking for Smalltalk, try Modula-3.

Ice, if you're looking for Smalltalk, try Ruby.

Isn't Modula-3 statically typed? (I could be totally wrong.)

by MehYam
Yeah. It's very similar to Pascal (at least Modula-2 was. I assume Modula-3 is just like Modula-2, just... one... extra...Modula, or some ★■◆●)
