<p>Mine has to be between Java and C++</p>
<p>Scheme.</p>
<p>What’s life without an overabundance of parentheses?</p>
<p>Java, cause I know some Javanese words</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why would you pick those? Is that what your school offers? </p>
<p>I like (()())(((()())()()))))()) too, but I can’t decide between it and Perl for my absolute favorite.</p>
<p>Well, I know a little Java and a little Python. I like Java better, although I don’t know enough to tell you why lol</p>
<p>Java, then C.</p>
<p>School offers java and visual basic. I taught myself c++</p>
<p>For large projects:</p>
<p>C++ or Java</p>
<p>For quick fun scripts or mid sized stuff:</p>
<p>Python</p>
<p>For learning: </p>
<p>assembly</p>
<p>And I thought MIT would prefer the likes of Ada.</p>
<p>

<p>I prefer writing in machine code.</p>
<p>Java is for mediocre people, you know.</p>
<p>See Paul Graham’s essay: [Java’s</a> Cover](<a href=“Paul Graham”>Java's Cover)</p>
<p>==</p>
<p>Anyways, mine’s Python (for now). And I like MATLAB and R too</p>
<p>
That was beautifully done.</p>
<p>MATLAB is fun. So is mathematica.</p>
<p>haXe = favorite
C = 2nd favorite</p>
<p>^ C is absolutely beautiful.</p>
<p>For those of you who learned a computer language through self study, how did you do it? Where did you start? My school does not offer any computer classes, but I am very interested in Java, C++…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If you’re new to programming, then for practically any language, start with variables, arrays, if statements, for and while loops, functions, and text input/output. Once you’ve finished that, it depends on the language. In C++, for example, you could then learn about pointers, classes, structs, unions, inheritance, namespaces, typecasting, file input and output, etc. I don’t know much about Java though. I learned C++ using nothing but the internet, so all you really have to do is find a compiler/interpreter and a website with information on basic programming in the language you choose.</p>
<p>Learning Java through school…don’t know any others. Therefore, I prefer Java.</p>
<p>Visual Basic is where it’s at.</p>
