Defend Your Programming Language
« on: July 08, 2008, 06:57 PM »

Yes, defend your programming language. Some programmers go about bragging about the programming language they program with, and also condemning others. Especially the so-called easy to use ones. So those of you who use easy-to-use programming language, this is an opportunity to defend them now.

I for one think that, irrespective of the language you use, the question really is, what can u do with it & what have you done with it?
I use VB.NET 2003. I use it to design customized application for businesses. I also extend my expertise to the web with asp.net and ado.net using my VB.NET experience. VB.NET has made me a happy boy, thanks to Microsoft.

So I recommend VB.NET to anyone who wants to do programming. I'm proud of it.

Why the hiss? All I asked was a simple question, why do you think your language is superior to others?

Your name obviously depicts that u're a java addict, so tell me what you can do with java that I can't do with .NET.

when did u start programming? No hating ooo just want to know. By the time u start real life programming, u will have no business with language as long as the job is done perfectly and ur customers are satisfied. As i java programmer, i have never had the cause to look elsewhere for help. Java gives me all i want. if ur .net gives u same, why don't u concentrate on it, learn more so u can become better.

You wont succeed starting this childish topic. once again hisses

Make I enter pidgin for this 1!

I nowa finish design my own language o but e name na Tofa. Tofa Programming Language. The ting suppose join the features of Chafa, Sea++ and Yahoozee!

Make una think of am na! The ting gon fit work anywhere, small pikin go fit understand am and the ting go dey email shege!!

The rhetoric around development of person own language get as e be!

I don reash the part when them talk say define properties. I don begin start with all the property when I see for Lekki for one Nollyfilm.

After that 1 na function remain , I don already go 3 party this year so I get plenty fior that 1.

Portability , have u ever tried it ? If you what was ur experience like
The Portability issue is very funny, tell us if you have ever copied ur java class compiled on windows to linux
and it woorks seamlessly without much any ado?
Like ur Java and let others like their .Net it doesnt matter,
Portability is the only song on the mouth of every Java buff, but C#.Net beats Java handsdown in more than 20
ways!!! Go google it and see for yourself , is speed, modern features, good construct, power , syntactic sugary  that
'll drive any right thinking and neutral developer crazy!!!!

I speak pidgin moretimes than I blink my eye still I don't know what you were trying to point out. So please repeat your comment in English and don't write pidgin without explaning it in English again.

Hmm not even a single word did I understand maybe I am not a certified pidgen speaker anymore. Maybe I will so sign up for a course in pidgen and get a professional cerificate from any authorized prometric center. Cheesy Those anybody here know one.

All I wanted was for everyone to say cute things about his or her favorite language and not argue like kids. I've been a professional web & desktop programmer for 8 years now and I've never regretted using VB, and to top it all, Microsoft introduced .NET. Isn't it amazing?

There are no super programming languages, there are only super programmers,

Having said said that, how can u compare Java with C#? let me ask you a question, your father built a house in 1960, since then he has been doing major and minor renovations on the house, changing this and putting that etcetera, now you build a house a house in 2008, and you compare your house to your father's in Elegance, Style and Design, u must be crazy(so sorry to use that word, but u get the point), C# was build with a major aim in mind, treat the fuckups in Java. I have done both languages and I see the differences clearly, but a seasoned Java programmer wont need to go and learn C# because almost all d additions to C# are in his library, created by himself! Just like your Dad don't need to build a new house just because your own house have a flat screen TV, by pete's name go and buy a flat screen TV and put it in the house. Why, if I have to migrate all my works to C# from Java, by the time I am through, a new language would have come out say F-Cubed that will beat C#, so what will I do then, start migrating? stupidity in the highest level.

I am out for now jare!

like javarules said ,  there's no powerful programming language ,  why do we like wasting our time debating on something not worth debating upon. From my own view, i'll never say one language is better than the other, but instead of us especially Nigerians, defending one programming language, let's discuss on how we(Nigerian programmers) will be relevant on the world scene. I don't care if u use QBasic to design your own program, but how will our knowledge as programmers affect our society and boost our image on the world scene. Let's think about this.  Lips sealed

Every programming language has its pros and cons. Use whatever works for you to get the job done. Be it, VB, Java, COBOL or whatever. I see a lot of postings in the forums here trying to imply that this is better than that. If it works for you, use it! Whatever you do, regardless of the programming language, make sure you are very good at it. That will go a long way.

I really wanted to refrain from responding to this thread, but I think the word needs to get out there, that we Nigerians need to get a way from these pointless arguments. I visit other programming forums and do not see any of the baseless posts and arguments that I observe on nairaland.

all stupid programmers without any evidence to what they have done or can do but mouth mouth mouth like the hole on top of their dik.

I guess you're referring to the portability geeks in the house.

Hey, just a tip of advise. For wannabe Naughty Boys and the general good of mankind, never overlook the famous C programming language. No wonder so many run away from it. Chou,  Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley

As programmers, I think you should know a bit about everything.

Personally, I love python; it's a sweet language, straightforward, you can produce with it is one of the best when prototyping.
I have also tried erlang mainly because of concurrent programming, it looks good.
For me, I look at java as a platform than a programming language - there are new languages that rides on top of the JVM, these languages allows you to express yourself in ways java will not i.e. scala.
I still fancy my C and plain old PHP, I love you guys
Then there is ruby

These are just my views anyways but go to russia and ask some coder there and he will tell you that "assembly language is the best", lol.
