I like Turbo pascal coz 1) piece of piss 2) first language (basic doesn't count) I coded in

if I want to do something serious I'd use c, even if it pecks me head after a while its still the daddeh. :D

Yeah, im tempted to go for Prolog :)

PS2 VU1 microcode gets my vote.
Far more fun and challenging that the other languages as you have two lines of assembly instructions that get executed at the same time.

Motor on and motor off flicked the cassete recorder relais... switching it a few hundred times per second didnt do good things i can tell you.

ZX81 had a 'FASTMODE' instruction in BASIC.
like anyone wanted slow mode...

Having just spent 6 months taking a stupid 10 yr old Delphi program to bits and rewriting it lovingly in C++ (for work, fortunately..otherwise Id have concussion from banging my head repeatedly against a wall) Im a firm convert of well written C++.

The number of programs Ive had to update that were soooo sloppily coded, had no accompanying information whatsoever and basically sucked...

I have a nice little one now, involving SHARC, C, Linux and two numpty french companies that used to like each other before blaming each other for things not working. Unfortunately I cant tell you what its about otherwise Id have to kill you.

c++ is c where you can't reach your variables to make it seem like oo code


global vars for president!

I know a good Prolog joke.

Question: How many Prolog programmers does it take to change a light bulb?

Answer: No.




*tumbleweed*

Ok... so maybe you have to be 40 minutes into a logic programming lecture and on the verge of insanity to find it funny...

That's it, you've done it now...

Lafala's Lecture #1
How to prove that Sarum is actually a mutant with an extra head using Prolog

Code: 
number_of_heads(no_Sarum, 2)           
     [i] proof by contradiction, no Sarum can have 2 heads.[/i]

number_of_heads(Sarum, N) :- number_of_heads(no_Sarum, M), N is M + 1            
     [i] trivial - Sarum has one more head than no Sarum[/i]

?- number_of_heads(Sarum, N).
yes N=2               
     [i] therefore, Sarum has 2 heads.  QED.[/i]


Oh my god, I'm posting (bad) Prolog jokes at half past midnight... it's time to turn the computer off methinks...

PROLOG is great :)

It answers "no." a lot. It can do some great stuff too.. (used a lot in AI/language processing). Depending on the version of prolog you use you can get it to give humorous existance errors.

This is the version we use at uni..

The variable (X) has no context, so resolves to the entire universe, the meaning of life and everything. Which as any hitchhikers fan will know, is 42.

C++ > all. Sorry klav, you sux ;)

Also Brainfuck looks kinda fun... in a kill your colleages from watching their heads explode kinda way. :D

For the record... .NET is the worst IDE in the world though.

ahh... I remember - good ole days of writing backwards programs :)

tail-recursion is funny. Completely threw anyone who was trying to program normally in Prolog...

I samewhere got a Brainfuck interpretor, I wrote in obfuscated perl :)

/agree

Except the Klav sucking bit... pwned my poor ickle friar when I was looking to suicide to a corpse summoner a week or two back. (Thanks ;))

Vis Studio is good (mostly, does some really annoying things which had me calling it Vis Stupio for a while.. see clever single letter substitution... see?.. never mind...), other than it's MS, which is an instant -10 to NerdCoolFactor for any app.

VS sucks, sorry but i'd rather code in assembly than to touch that thing.

:) BBC BASIC, or the Spectrum BASIC. Only thing I ever wrote a semi serious program in was whatever Psions use.

I am a user not a writer :rolleyes:

I have been known to program in binary. So hush Lafala.

Isn't that what I said? :D

I've seen COBOL, never tried to program it.. doesn't strike me as the easiest language to do OO in tho.
