[Civil Discussion] Which Language Is Better

[argh44z]

I don't see much of a productivity difference between modernish-C++ with Boost compared to C#. I don't see much of a point to the latter.

Good to see Python getting some love. I recommend the book "Blackhat Python". Good stuff.

I think you mean gray hat , and its a great introduction to reversing with python.

Java, because it will run on any OS! Windows, SURE! MAC OS X? SURE! LINUX? SURE! You name it we got it!

Coming up in 2014, java on your microwave!

More significant imo: Coming up in 2014-2024: Java 8.0 with lambdas. Yes, those lambdas even C++ got with C++11.
Platform independence is mostly a concern when it is required, which is relatively rare in private projects. In the case of platform independent .NET: Take a look at Mono. It's about to really take off under the wings of Xamarin.

If I had a choice, I would prefer not to code in Java until 8.0. And even then there's C# which is better at most of the things Java used to be good at. Not mentioning my current functional favorites (read: really want to try out in one of my next big projects) F#, Haskell, Elm... I'm excited to see them gaining adoption in the near future.

Best part, Java being so "corporate" means that whenever you _have_ to code in Java you'll probably won't be doing it in Java 8 for quite a few years after its release.

Everyone should just program in Whitespace.

Please don't necro bump in future.

Oops, haha, I never saw. I was just looking through Apoc's threads and saw this interesting one.

For you fellow python folks: have you checked out Cython? It's been pretty awesome for interfacing with native libraries and speeding up bottlenecks for me.
