    That's a classic, and still funny.

      I don't think anybody uses Scheme outside of a learning enviroment, although it is successful at that, It really makes you think before you start programming anything.

      The real question is best at what? That's like asking what's the best tool in your toolbox. Most are good for different things. I'd say though, that most effect combo for writting most of anything can think of would be Assembler, Perl and Java. At least I think that would be most effective language combo for handling most tasks

      what about:

        I like java - its c++ without the memory problems.
        And its easy.

        C# sounds interesting, but haven't really had much motivation to learn it yet.
        I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

          Fortran 2000 has exception handling

          as well as adds these areas to Fortran 95 (which is a huge step from Fortran77)

          Facilities to simplify interoperability with the C language, in order to enable Fortran programs to access, and interact with, operating system features more easily

          Enhancements to derived data types to allow allocatable components and parameterized types

          Additional features to provide high performance numerical computing, possibly including facilities for interval arithmetic

          New input/output features such as asynchronous i/o and derived type i/o

          Features to allow object oriented programs to be written in Fortran

          Facilities to enable Fortran programs to take advantage of internationalization features provided through the operating system

            FORTRAN and COBOL will never die.

            I've actually got one of my dad's old textbooks on my bookshelf -- Waterloo FORTRAN, Copyright 1977.

            That's archaic in computers.

              Waterloo FORTRAN, Copyright 1977

              What a name

              I'm still not sure what to really prefer. I haven't looked in the newer things like Java or the language directly from hell (C#). I liked Modula-2 quite a lot. I would prefer a similar OO language. I switched to C and C++ mainly for practical purposes. While I like the OO in C++ the language has the same disadvantage as I've heard of Algol68 - it's too bloated, and in a way that I seriously distrust performance (and if you're about writing a program which runs several days you know why).
              FORTRAN is an unwieldy dinosaur with portability as the only advantage over assembler. Ever changed the value of 2? FORTRAN lets you do this.
              Why doing it the easy way if it is possible to do it complicated?

                It's named Waterloo FORTRAN because it came from the University of Waterloo in Ontario.

                  I vote C#, because C is the most powerful language and C# is the latest implimentation. Typical Geek joke too.

                        It's a nice friendly language.

                          My current favorite is Java (i only know C++ and Java )...at least untill i learn C#, and maybe after that to..

                              Asher

                              have you or anyone looked at modern fortran?

                              it got a huge face lift with Fortran90, and another will occur with Fortran2000

                              I wouldn't want to use that Fortran77 crap either, but Fortran90 is way nicer than some other languages that I have used

                                ok, where's Lotusscript ?
                                There's no programming language but lotusscript (and lotus domino as a platform) to make non relational databases, and web applications!
