Well this forum is pretty dormant so I guess I'll ask a question about some of the worst languages IMO ever made.

So what are your thoughts on JAVA and Microsoft's answer to java, called C#.

I've never coded in C#, so I can't say, but everyone I've talked to has told me it's a great language. I personally think Java is a pretty good language. What do you have against the two languages?

They are weak languages. C# is microsoft dependant and so programs coded with it can only be used in a microsoft environment. As for java. It is just a horrid language in my oppinion. The only thing I have seen it good for is web based apps. I dunno.

Not true.

It's good for web based apps. It's a little slow, but I think it's a fine language. It's certainly one of the easiest languages to program in.

Oooh nice find. I'll have to try it out.

Edit: But isn't it just like an emulator... I mean... I could use any windows program on my linux box with wine :weird:

"Mono includes a compiler for the C# language, an ECMA-compatible runtime engine (the Common Language Runtime, or CLR),and class libraries."

So it's not an emulator. Everybody I know uses it, I just haven't eve done so, so I couldn't tell you too much detail about it. The people at www.programmingforums.org could tell you more about it, if you want.

I personally don't like Java because it takes up a lot of resources :/.
