Which is the best programming language?

As we know java s a platform independent language. It is user friendly and it is dynamic.I think java is

the best language for ever. NO language can replace it.Most of the apps in mobile now made by java

platform. Simply write the code and run anywhere by putting source code anywhere.I think java is the

best. What is your view which language is the best one please share here.




Thank you

 

Php is also a good scripting language, Now a days it is growing very fast and becoming popular

 

it depends on purpose you are going to use
Php,vb.net,java they are best in their area

 

Which is the best carpentry tool?

Which language is best depends on what you want to do with it. Hammering nails with a small screwdriver isn't going to work - neither is writing a Java app and expecting it to work on iOS.

 

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]I'd suggest Python. It's more high level language than others. Python is quite easy to learn. [/FONT]

 

Yes Java is the best language .We can do many things using Java like Mobile apps,Computer Software and Applets.

 

Python is a 3GL, the same as C, PHP and Javascript. SQL is a 4GL, but it can't be used for general programming (although you can do a lot with T-SQL.)

 

In my opinion, PHP is the best programming language.

 

A lot of this depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

 

i prefer php. it is the best for me.

 

"Best" really depends on the job and really, isn't 'enough' of a question for a legitimate answer.

Which one is 'best' for string processing and text based output? PHP -- whitespace neutral with a massive function library.

Which one is 'best' for speed? Machine language / assembly language, there is nothing faster than native code.

Which one is 'best' for portability? Java -- just beware that it's NOT portable to iOS devices, and for desktop applications is pretty much useless for being buggy, slow and inaccessible due to crappy UI API's.

Which one is 'best' for client side scripting in a browser? Not even a choice of 'best' as we ONLY have JavaScript... it's the only game in town.

Which one is 'best' for clear legible easy to follow code? Pascal and/or Modula.

Which one is 'best' if you need to ask for help or find code examples? C, since 90% of other languages are based on it's syntax.

Which one is 'best' if you need to interface a desktop API? C++, since most of them are written in it.

The list goes on and on. It's more a question of what you want to do than it is which is 'best' overall.

Rukbat said it best so far: "Which is the best carpentry tool" -- you can drive a screw with a hammer, doesn't mean it's a good idea. (or as Uncle Red calls the hammer, a "flathead screwdriver")

 

My opinion is PHP ,
it is easy to understand and learn ,
and better for cloning.

 

According to me, PHP is the best programming language.

 

I would say that either Objective-C or Java would be it as mobile development is huge right now.

 

PHP is the easiest to learn, in my humble opinion. Java is in the highest demand, and is probably most profitable because of the huge spike in use of mobile devices.

 

Use the best tool for the job. There is no 'best' development language, only the most appropriate for the task. Me, I use Objective-C for iOS apps, Ruby on Rails for web apps, and sometimes C# for web services. Find the language you're most comfortable with for a given job. The best language is the one that allows you to finish the application.

 

java and php for web

 

According to my thinking , Java rocks!
Its best language as its platform independent and object oriented programming technique is used while VB.NET is platform dependent

 

Its depends on your needs.
If you want to study a language and get hoired in a big company, go for C#.
If you develope for yourself or for small buyers, go for PHP.
If you love programming go for Ruby.

 

'Best programming language' sounds kinda like 'best woman in the world'. I prefer Java+Groovy or Scala (depending on project goals), but sometimes C is better (for performance issues etc). R is the best choice for stats/data mining tasks etc...
