Best Programming language

without more details i just go with the main question so i would say C.
its the most useful language as you can code anything with it, even a whole OS.
there is always demand for C coders, but its not easy.
if you want to just develope something for the web, go with some markup or scripting language.

aha yes my bad for not including a programming language with 3% market share in websites.

should I tell the guy to make a website using ruby or better yet perl?

come on now.

According to this logic, PHP is not worth mentioning because Laravel and Symfony are still niche technologies that probably have less than 3% market share in websites.

Ruby would be good to host free websites with Jekyll on github pages. Jekyll is quite minimalistic which is useful for small projects (most projects these days).

Among all technologies, you listed some of the most useful for web as missed ones.

Perl is too arcane for most of us, but I'm sure some of the guys who started their coding journeys in the 90s would find it useful in terms of websites.

A small percentage of all people is coding something "that matters" these days, so most of us will just open node.js and our journey will end there, barely understanding what programming truly is.

I hate the current state of programming. It makes me feel so nihilistic...

Are you high or am I high?

can't tell if it is the way you are wording it or the way I am reading it

PHP has like 80% market share of websites

I'm confused to the point you are trying to make

the point I was making is it depends on what you want to program for what you should start with.

not only will you achieve what you wanted in the program it will inspire you to keep learning it as you are actually making what you like such as a website, game, mobile app, bot, whatever else.

eventually allowing you to branch out to other languages

yea the current state of mind of new programmers is like this:
1. it needs to be easy
2. i don't care about how things work
3. i want to be done fast
4. i don't care about performance, servers have enough RAM and CPU
5. i want to be done as fast as possible
5. again i don't care how it works, just let me do things the easy way without the need to understand wtf is going on
6. i just use a framework, the people who made it know what they do, i don't and i don't care
7. why does it take so long?
8. why do it myself, i just find some code on stackoverflow to copy+paste
9. senior programmers and their standards are annoying
10. i know whats best, i code since a year or two, i'm a master!!!11
11. i just throw something together and it works so why waste time to make it clean if it works somehow.
 
In this thread "hobby programmers" talking how easy it is to code.
Actuality: only one member coded something truly commercial.

Good luck with this perception of "coding".
 
C++ is the best language nowaday. They're using it for real time games like COD and etc. With C++ you control memory yourself. But ull break your head with pointer* and reference&.

Python is the "internet/google search" most popular languages and the easiest to learn

Java is by far the most commercial used language. I think Java is abit complicated for nothing sometime but really easy compared to C++. No languages will replace java in short or mid term as almost all banks and company run with java and its too heavy and complicated to change the whole thing.

C# is as good as Java or Python but i personnally found the community too small. But i prefer C# anyway

for internet marketing, building websites, etc, I would stay away from strongly typed languages like C and java. you want a scripting language, python or php, or ruby if you're a masochist. something faster to code in where you're not dealing with pointers and memory allocation and shit.

C and java are the most commonly used languages in old-school industry jobs, good if you want to work for Oracle or IBM or something. But isnt the whole reason we're on BHW that we *dont* want these kinds of jobs?
 
Guys, there is no such thing as the best programming language.

If there would be such a thing, everyone would use only that.

Every language has its purpose and place.

To answer OPs question correctly, it must be extended.

What is the best programming language for [web | game | machine learning | multi-threading task | first learning project] development?

It cringes me so much to read those "PHP iS BeSt lAnGuaGe". And I code in PHP for the last 15 years or so. PHP sucks in general but has its special place under the sun and there is reason to it.

Same as for those who support only Python or Javascript. Come on, really?

Would you use a hammer to get a screw in your wall? You might but would it be the most efficient way of doing so?
 
Your choice of language really depends on what you want to do - game development? Websites? Bots?

From my point of view, I like PHP for blog-related stuff. In fact it's one of the ways that coding first earned me $ by being able to add on extra features to my website. One example is being able to automatically display different affiliate ads depending on vertical (e.g. locale AND article category).

For general-purpose programming I like Ruby best because it's fairly high-level so you can get a lot done without having to write a ton of code.

What do you guys think is the best language to learn and why? I'm curious.

There’s no “best” programming language. It depends on what you know, and what you are looking to achieve.
 
For learning and easily executable code, i recommend learning python. You can run it on your own pc without having to buy any type of server etc. JavaScript is also very interesting if you want to get into web development or stand alone apps with frameworks like Electron (which is used by Discord for example).
 
Depends on the topic, bro. Python is really huge if you want to work with databases and metaverses. C### will be great for algorithms. Unity platform langs for gaming. And so on
