What is your favourite programming/coding language?

I would have to say as of right now it's C++ then HTML and CSS.

What's yours?
 
HTML & CSS and I'm currently learning PHP which is very enjoyable to learn in my personal opinion. I enjoy it quite a bit.
Awesome! I was told by one of my instructors on Udemy that PHP is starting to decline in popularity and that I should learn Node.JS instead, what are your thoughts?

Maybe in the job world but definitely not on the internet. I definitely agree that you can get a job easier doing node.js but php is always going to be the top dog for commercial platforms. Most full time stack developers are hiring people that do node.js so that's probably what he was talking about. But freelance or stack, either way php controls most CMS platforms like xenforo, vbulletin, phpbb, mybb, IPS and so forth. If you have cPanel with softaculous just take a look at how many programs on there use PHP. There's a ton. Especially for the CMS area. Anyways, it's easier to get a job but either way they are both good platforms to work with.
 
As far as hosting industry is concerned, PHP is still prominent and will remain so.
NodeJS has overtaken Ruby on Rails:-
  • based on javascript
  • designed for high performance
  • faster response times
  • asynchronous based programming
  • considered safer than RoR
 
My Favourite has to be Java. I don't know why, I just seem to like it. I am currently learning C and that might replace Java as my Favourite Language.

Although I know Python, it's Syntax doesn't appeal to me. I guess I just like things more Complex.

Yeah I really like the fact that you can use Java on websites so well. Enabling you to embed programs on your site and setup websites based on apps. That's the best part about it. C can do this too but just not to the degree Java can. I never learned it yet but I was always wanting to learn Java or C.

I'm pretty sure that you can't embed Java Programs(Applets) onto Wesbites anymore due to the Security Risks that came with them starting with Java 9.

Maybe so but what I was talking about wouldn't have to be an "java applet" but I'm sure there are other methods to embed programs onto websites? Am I wrong? Not sure because I know you can even do this with C++ so there would have to be another way than just applets which are mainly used for chat rooms which is what I understand.

Hmmm... Well the only way I know of embedding a Java Program onto a Site is through Applets. There might be Un-Official workarounds for this though. I wouldn't really bother trying out Applets as they're both a Security Risk and Extremely Outdated in terms of Technology.
 
Thank you for letting me know. I will definitely keep that in mind. The same thing can pretty much be said for Flash embeds as well so I know what your saying is true. Just figure that anyone can possibly use other methods to get a program onto a site some other way. Never looked into it though but would be fun to try and learn later on.
 
Typescript man. Not only do you have features from modern javascript like classes and destructing assignments, but there are type annotations, enums, and interfaces too. It breaks if the types are messed up and gives good code autocomplete, just like Java can do for example.
 
Has to be C right now. It was Java but now it's C. Not to say that I don't like Java anymore, I do think it's a great Language. I actually don't know why I like C though. Maybe it's because it doesn't involve things like Classes and Inheritance. Yes, they are useful Features but I don't really seem to have a good understanding of them at the moment.

The Language that I do dislike is Python. I have tried to learn it again and I sort of like it but Python is still a Language that is not my cup of tea. It's primarily to do with the Syntax and things like Whitespace. One wrong Space and you've broken the entire Program. Forgot a Semi-Colon? Woops, looks like you broke your Program! I don't like how strict Python is with it's Syntax. I understand it's to help write good Code but at least give us some free-reign over how we want to Style the Code. I probably won't like Python anytime in the future but that of course, won't stop me from using it. But, I also don't really see myself using it often.
 
My favourite is c# the one i am learning 2 years now and still xd i started with that so i am more comfy with c# than java or any other language even though the concept is the same but yeah.
