What do YOU think is the "best" Programming Language & Why?

I rarely deal with backend and databases so I must go with Python. For scraping and automatizing most of my stuff, that works like a charm.

Yeah, seems like i'm one of the few backend peeps
 
Me: SQL
Why? I use it to so often, everyday, I dream about this shit.
Everything needs a database right :) ?
I need to go outside more
anyways, what do you think?

You are right! Even Bitcoin needs a database! #ShortPonzi :cool:

LDB files are Microsoft Access lock information files. An ". LDB" file is created when an Access database is opened/accessed by a user - the file is created with the same name as the Access database, but with an ". LDB" extension.

+1 here.
 
For me, it depends on your situation.
For someone learning to program for the first time, I think it's Python. (i learned Java, it was hard, but it made everything easier)
For someone building a mobile app for IOS => Swift.
For databases => SQL
...
The solution for the project is the most important thing.
 
There is not any single language or tool which is the "best" for every use case. Which is best for your current project will depend upon your requirements (which may change for future projects) and personal opinion.

I have worked in Python, Js/node, Go , Ruby, java and even to some extent c/cpp. All these languages are like Pokemons with their unique set of traits and "best usecases". Python for example is great for quick prototyping & small webservers, Go for concurrent network services and so forth.

you need to learn how to form your own opinion lol
Just like if i am coding osmething in Python, but I rather use another language C++, I would think
"damn, I wish i could do this in C++ instead of python".
Doesn't mean it's the best use case, it's what YOU enjoy and what YOU think is the best.
This is the thread reminding me that I should get back learning my Python.
do it
programming will take over
I heard they are training AIs to program stuff :o

Yeah, to be able to use Python for my everyday life is one of my goals in 2023. I just gave myself too many excuses this year to get away from learning.
 
COBOL 60 is the best programming language (COmmon Business Oriented Language).

You should program in COBOL if you are also business oriented person.

I have written "personal opinion" in my original message for a reason.

That's the thing tho, your personal opinion about what's the best language can (and probably will) blind you when it comes to making a pragmatic decision about your techstack.

Programming langauges are tools. And tools have limitations. If you start believing that some tool is the *best for everything* even if it's not suitable for the usecase, then you can end up with some very challenging problems down the line when your software grows in complexity and scale.

Basically the software equivalent of trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

alright guy mate
if i wanted a definition of programming languages
i woulda went to dictionary.com

I wanted to see what everyone likes and uses. or want to see evolve
 
css and html are not programming languages

Theyre not?

I could make an entire website with them alone. A nice website too. Not super fancy, but really nice.

So if theyre not programming languages, what are they?
