what is the most valuable computer language 2 learn?

Not C# for SURE !!!

C and JAVA is the best i think. JAVA is continuously developing more than 16 - 18 years and used for many mission critical systems also.

C is now in existence for yearly 40 years and C++ around 25.

I don't wanna talk Microsoft people, but they haven't been able to produce a STABLE language yet. Of course C# is much more better than earlier languages of Microsoft.

well,, BASIC is pretty stable. As well as VB 6

Yes Java is a very good language, but it has a lot of drawbacks from C or C++ (Remember C is not a true Object Oriented Language, C++ is the C's OO counterpart) firstly JAVA is not compiled in to native code, so it requires a Interpreter thus creating a lot of latency (Java is several times slower than C or C++), JAVA has a lot of memory related issues, so u cant use it as a true General Purpose Programming Language, its only Plus as far as i can see that JAVA applications can run on any OS providing the OS has the JAVA runtime installed.

SL has sum IT industries(virtusa) but they rnt SL driven. Some one told me that 'ABA' videogame[for PC i think] will be released on the 50th day aftr ABA's public release. Wonder whose making it...

Yes definitely BASIC and VB6 is extremely stable and Extremely fast, I think VB6 is one of the best WYSIWYG languages ever made, Borland Delphi is the Best of its Kind, But VB6 lacks a lot of the more powerful functions that C or C++ has and is still depending on a Runtime Environment and it only runs on WIndows, On the other hand Delphi do not need a Runtime Environment it Compiles to Native code, and its fast as C++. so if you need a Easy yet extremely powerful Language for Windows its none other than Delphi. Maybe you dont know about this langauge but u must know FL Studio right, its completely written in Borland Delphi and is the most powerful Software music Synthesizer.

A fair list of software written with Delphi can be found here.

My reference of BASIC and VB 6 was a reply to the comment about MS not being able to make any stable languages.
One thing about VB, its not meant to be an all rounder like C. VB is for RAD tool for business apps. That is the goal of VB. If you want to write kernels or device drivers you'll have to forget VB. Its just not made to write those applications.

well sticking on to the topic (what is the most valuable computer language 2 learn?)
I believe the best answer is Java. Most valuble in the sence most usefull. We have to concentrate on to the industry. We have to focuss on to Enterprice solutions rather than stand alone solutions. For the given purpose I believe Jvava is the best.
C or C++ does not contain any Enterprice aspect (no web module,RMI or any remote procedure invoication). In this case my answer will be certainly JAVA. in fact apart from the basic J2EE implementation of Sun, java now equiped with heavy enterprice framework pool developed by open source community.
If you are focussing on to mission ans performance critical sytem, yes C++ will be the solution. But in overoll Java is the best.

this depends on what the topic starter ment by 'value' if was thinking about programming value then its C++ if he was thinking of money then its java because it has all those web stuff and mobile stuff THIS does not mean that you cant make progs for mobiles using c++ its just that economy is getting in da way.

The OP was asking which was the hardest computer language to learn. That was the original question.

but all those programs will be stand alon products. With the current context on software industry, you need to work in diastributed architechture. value does not ment money.... If you are argueing on programing value... then asembly will be the best...

There is no such thing called 'Most valuable programming language'.. Different languages serve better on different requirements..

Don't expect a single programing language will serve all the requirements like stand alone applications, web applications, mobile applications, embedded applications, database applications, game development, 3D modeling etc..etc..

Java is the best language to learn,
it's true that it's slower than C++, however within next few years processing power won't be a problem. Java language has extensive open source libraries available for rapid software development. It's the language if you are going to business software.
When compared with C#, MS .NET framework is just bunch of nuts and bolts, just take the generics implementation of C# and you can see the difference b/w java and C#.
If you want to learn a language, I think it can be either Java or C#, C++ is not widely used for business software although it's used for driver development and such. However if you know Java well C# is piece of cake.

Maybe Not the best .. but One of the Best From the Rest..

Most of the High Level softwares is build up with the help of C# isnt it/??

Correct me if im wrong

C# was made by M$ as a competitor for JAVA...
But I say C/C++ the best.....no argument.....

 

[nagaya]

Yup. That explains it well.


Agreed 100%. This situation is bad for the IT industry of SL as it creates a bad reputation for the whole IT sector in SL due to these lame brains and the even lamer brained Indians ends up getting the IT jobs and the projects.

agreed 100%

sure....i hate those interprited languages....native compiling is the best and the fastest..

But SE phones can run elves witten in C or C++(can't remeber exactly) after patching main OS
