Just thought I’d say that although I voted .NET because thats what I use at work, I’m also very interested in Java and PHP so please add one to each of those!
no python choice? Boo - I have to use other
“main” is kinda vague IMO. “PL i work the most with” or “PL i would choose to use given the option”
Perl is definitely my favorite language, but I have been enjoying more and more c# lately. If the question is about which language I have to use most often for work related then it’s becoming more and more c#.
“Main” is definitely vague, and I did that on purpose. I wanted to leave it up to the developer to decide what “main” means for them.
I’m almost exclusivly a C# developer these days. I take brief sojurns back into the past for C & C++ (typically with Mixed Mode C++). We’ve abandonded VB.Net as a language, due to lack of tool support. Mono has great C# support, but very little VB. Likesise, the C# feature set seems to be consistantly a bit ahead of C#. Java is an option from time to time, but with the Cross Platofrm capabilities of .Net via Mono, we relly don’t need Java.
.NET is NOT a programming language. It is a platform, if anything. Perhaps you should have added C# and VB.NET to your list. I selected .NET because I had no other choice.
definitely Python
Mark - You are correct about .NET not being a programming language! This was actually a silly game of mine to see who would point this out first. Since you are the winner I’m going to send you a free 1-year subscription to Fast Company. I’ll contact you via your website. Rob
Hehehe…so you were testing us. I should have realized. Thanks for the offer, but you don’t have to do that. Great magazine, though. I’m just flooded with reading material right now.
Visual FoxPro. Read it and weep suckers! Actually, for the past month VB 2005 but before that it was the luxurious world of VFP.
