C++
Since about half a year back have I mostly been programming in C++. This
language really have enormous potential and give much better structure
to the code than C or Pascal since it is object oriented. I'm aware of
Object Pascal, but almost all programmers over the world have chosen C++
so, I have too.
I wish that C++ would have something like Pascal's SWAG. It's probably
just to start collecting code and make it searchable, that's probably how
SWAG started.
Pascal
Pascal
was one of the first languages I used. Unfortunately I don't think I'll
do any more coding in Pascal, all coding nowadays is in C++. Pascal still
has advantages though, it isn't so forgiving and doesn't let you do all
those stupid things C let you do. So I recommend this language to anyone
that want to learn coding, it's just so much easier for a beginner.
If you program in Pascal there is one thing you can't be without and
that's the file ALLSWAGS.ZIP.
That's a true gold mine for all pascal programmers.
JavaScript
People often confuse Java and JavaScript, there are big similarities between
them but JavaScript is much simpler and can only be used on the web. Since
it is loosely typed I think that it is like object oriented BASIC for the
web. Loosely typed means that you don't have to declare a variable before
use.
Assembler
Assembler is something I have worked with for some time now, but always
together with a high level language since it's so hard to create whole
applications in assembler. I've never even tried to create an application
in assembler, I've used it a lot to make graphical functions though.
What I love about assembler is that you always know exactly what's
happening, you control every step the processor takes, it's hard, takes
a lot of coding and debugging but when it works... I can't express the
feeling , it's just wonderful.
