Re: Preferred language?

Easier to read (defined norm for writing, clean code),
Faster,
Multi-platform,
Allows down-programing (to execute lower-levels code, like C or ASM),
Optimised,
Allows GUI, allows to code even big programs (Vampire the Mascarade: Bloodlines is made with it),
Well memory managment,
Intuitive syntaxe, easy to learn.

It is a language on the good line.
C/C++ stays the reference. We could say the code could run at speed of 1x.
Java is one of the most used language (including android phones, of course), it will run on 2x.
Python is more and more optimized, the speed will be 3 to 4x. For a scripted language, this is very fast.

Personaly, I use always languages :
- C/C++ (most of the time)
- ASM (with MASM, rare, when I need VERY fast modules)
- VBScript / PowerShell / Batch on windows, for little things
- Bash on Linux, for litthe things,
- Python on Windows and Linux, more and more (I should have use it from the start but I didn't know)
