What programming language do you love?

[gondel]

Hello,
Which programming language is good to code for a trading platform? I will need a person to help me make a trading site and dont know on which program it can be written? Any help?
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Gondel

For usefulness, you should probably learn and try to love php and html5.

Nobody loves Brainfuck?
Assembly seems a piece of cake compared to it.

An Hello World! example:

Code:

++++++++[>++++[>++>+++>+++>+<<<<-]>+>+>->>+[<]<-]>>.>---.+++++++..+++.>>.<-.<.+++.------.--------.>>+.>++.

PS: I'm not saying I love it, as it could really threaten the brain health, LOL.

Well "Whitespace" is even worse IMO.
You know, without a decent IDE/text editor you will never know what you're doing after the 5th line.

What about LOLCODE? Have you heard about it?

Yii and other similar frameworks make java and html obsolete.

Facepalm.

Do you actually realize what you just said? Java and HTML are two of the most important languages, along with a few others.

Yup - they are probably the two most widely used technologies on devices and the WWW of today. Of course, who knows what tomorrow will hold but I would imagine that they will be around for a long time.

I love Ruby and Python,

Oh wow this one is new for me.
I coulnd't loud when I saw that the "exit" delimiter was "KTHXBYE".

I have to agree, this Whitespace is worse than Brainfuck. 
Reading about it, an intersting aspect is the possibility to embed Whitespace code in the blank space of another language code (except for languages that have indentation/space rules like Python).

Lol, I didn't know it too.

I like JAVA and HTML .

is HTML a programming languange?
what I read from book  HTML is not a programming language. The "M" stands for "Markup". Generally, a programming language allows you to describe some sort of process of doing something, whereas HTML is a way of adding context and structure to text.

[Foxpup]

I love C++. It has zero bullshit tolerance.

I've also played with Java, Python, Pascal, and VB, but I don't love them.

I'm surprised Brainfuck gets a mention but not OISC. Love assembly but have trouble remembering all those instructions? Well, now you don't need to!

Find it pretty odd to have someone like programming.

Even many experience coders hate doing their job.

That's because their job in most cases isn't coding, it's debugging. The bane of programmers everywhere.

Yii might be a good framework but will it or any similar frameworks will  make java obsolete naa not gonna happen , Yii is just PHP framework but java is vast and has more elements ..?

[paumonte]

Actually i'm using Python and Ruby because are easy, and exploring HTML5, but a lot of year i've been using C++, I really like it.

Forget about Java on the web. It's the devices that use it. Android is Java.

edit: I mean, it's Linux, but uses Java for everything.

Arguably Java is best out there..!You are indeed absolutely correct that Android is linux based OS but most of the apps which made it a successful OS for smartphones and tabs are built in Java. and this is the reason mate we love java and it has a bright future . and if someone thinks Its obsolete than bro you live in oblivion ..!

There are lot of great language features in Java, which is not in this but equally important for making Java, Best programming language of last two decades e.g.
- Java is Secure, security is not only embedded in language, but also provided by platform.
- Java Array is bounded rather than C array, which is unbounded.
- Java is Strongly typed language, which means more help from compiler and easier to manage.
- Rich set of data types
- Rich set of operators

While you are correct in outlining some of the benefits of using Java, I have to say that there is no best programming language. It all depends on the application. In some cases other languages may be more appropriate for building a solution.

I write Java as part of my role, it's a nice language for sure. I hook it up with ColdFusion and Wheels now and then when wrapping new front-ends around our libraries.

Java is an advance compared to imperative programming, and in some sense to C++ too,  but it has more drawbacks than advantages. Try to make a decent exception schema for you any non trivial job and you'll quickly agree.

Many big CS names are anti-Java, for example, Linus Torvald:
