I really like Ruby. For me, iteratiors (like each, map, etc) are really cool. Basically given an array of anything, say #s:
You can write:
This applies the function someFunc to each element of the array and spits back another array. You actually can even specify your function anonymously, like:
The above gives you an array b with each element the square of the corresponding element of a. Iterators are probably not the coolest feature of this language, but the one I enjoy the most and seem to use the most often. Really so much more pleasant that writing for loops. |

for me any language that will convert any data type to any data type without me knowing about it is what I like most, but the setback is you can't do much with these kind of language. |

I'm a self-taught amateur. I know only basic, html, PHP, and a bit of java. My favourite would be, PHP. I like PHP because it's great for server-side programming. |

Without much thought. I give it to C and all variant. It gave us the power of objects and it the language with which the best platforms are built. Virtually everything runs on top of a C- Code. |

from my experiences using php, java, python, actionscript3 and javascript i will give it to php over java when it comes to syntax clarity, in this arena i believe python beats php python is Very easy to read and works almost everywhere Web services wise, i also give it to python over java on memory usage, java seems to consume 15MB+ just to load up on linux to the topic, My favorite will be Actionscript 3, hmm, very sexy! make my movies very light. |

i love any programming language that has lambda functions(anonymous functions) they are fun and also love the new PHP 5.3 because the callback of functions call user array, you can dynamically make calls and detect the number of parameters just like JavaScript Callback. codng because lots easier and saner that way. |

Re: Feature You Like The Most About Your Favorite Programming Language? by Nobody: 8:19pm On Oct 14, 2011 |
@ektbear a callback function is like an anonymous function passed as a parameter to a function that after a specific event the function will be called, in jquery it is used everywhere. e.g JS function CallMeEvent(Node,func) its possible in PHP 5.3 but haven't tried it |
