   I_MUST_decide on a programming language - NOW!
  Ok, so I have a book on C++ - I only got about 140 pages through it. C++ is cool and whatnot.I also love Python. I know a bit of it, not as much as I know of C++, but a bit.I heard Perl''s cool.I also like the idea of Visual Basic.C I heard is nice as well.And so on, and so on.I want a language that is fun to learn and use, and that I can make quick GUI''s for software (duh).I''m not against any basic''s.I just need a fun to use generally easy to learn programming language.I can never, ever decide on a programming language!When I do, I change my mind!IT"S DRIVING ME INSANE!(This has been going on for about 3/4''s of a year now.)

  If you want something thats quick and easy and works well with the Windows and not necessarily anything else then Visual Basic is the best route to do. Personally, I hate programming in it yet its what I''m the most familiar with because its the most common used language for developing Windows based business applications with.If you want super flexibility with relative ease then go with Java or Python.If you want POWER then go with C++. ---------------------------------------------------laziness is the foundation of efficiencyretrospiral.net | llamas! | megatokyo | FreeBSD | gamedev.net | google;  I dispute the power thing, unless you mean in terms of what the language can do by itself combined with its running speed.Anything you can do in C++, you can also do in Java, as well as Python I''m sure (though I''m not too familiar with it).

Easy, flexible, and a library of stuff that''s comparable to C.  Don''t lose touch with C++ though.  Python is slow.  It''s fast enough for most things, but when it isn''t you can rewrite the slowest part of your project in C++. ;  Use Haskell.Or Objective-C:[[[Drevay alloc] initWith: brain] retain]; Superpig- saving pigs from untimely fates, and when he''s not doing that, runs The Binary Refinery.Enginuity1 | Enginuity2 | Enginuity3;quote:[[[Drevay alloc] initWith: brain] retain]; haha that''s funny because I also think Drevay is stupid!quote:I want a language that is fun to learn and use, and that I can make quick GUI''s for software (duh).I''m not against any basic''s.I just need a fun to use generally easy to learn programming language.Then use VB. None of the others you mention are easy and can let you inherently write graphical user interfaces. ;  flangazor - bite me :/Pig - anus Actually I think I''ll be taking up Java.It''s pretty damn cool.

If you want to be different use Delphi or another non-entity. ;quote:Original post by Drevay  I want a language that is fun to learn and use, and that I can make quick GUI''s for software (duh).I''m not against any basic''s.I just need a fun to use generally easy to learn programming language.Sounds to me like you want Visual Basic, or C++. Visual Basic is good at creating smaller aps, like "quick GUI''s for software" and so on.
