Ask HN: What programming language do I use?

2 pointsby nrbafnaalmost 15 years ago

I am starting back into programming after two years of hiatus. Previous experience(basic) in C includes pointers, file handling.<p>To start off again, what language do I code in? C, C++, python, Java, others?

Depends on what you're doing. Right tool for the job and all that.<p>C, C++, Java and PHP are popular (according to the Tiobe index). The last 3 can teach you some OOP if you're not already familiar with it.<p>If you're interested in functional programming, you can learn some stuff from Lisp, F#, OCaml, Haskell
