With all the projects being started I just wondered what would people like to see things written in. Of corse its really up to the person who gets off their butt and writes something. If you want to go out and write the best Flotran dice roller ever damm the man and full speed ahead.

I voted Python, but Java or cross-platform C/C++ would work just as well—portability is key in my mind, as is not being a web app (exceptions made here if non-web versions are already available—optimal is a web/non-web pair that can tie into each other).

We need more programs written in B.

My issues with python, I can't load it at work, so i can't use it at work. Which sucks cause my job is boring.

I don't care, as long as things run on my windows-based laptop.

hurray for flash!

well, i have a semi reliable working vehicle gen in flash thats still in production, because i'm a huge slacker lol

Flash works well for me ... I actually use the swift3d to create any applications. For example the micro runners. I still voted for php which is my web based language of choice.

My vote is for python. In general I'd say it'd be best to go with a higher level language with a good cross platform gui package and strong web programming capabilities. Perl and ruby would work equally well I think.

I voted C# because thats what i'm doing it in. But I'd also chose c or c++, or if i was going to do a web based one ASP .NET where I could well, just use C# again easily. PHP is just too much of a pain to set up now that mysql is not enabled by default for me to realy want to deal with and or test.

I voted for Other, English specifically. Maybe a little Spanish too, if I have a good translater.

Python or C/C++ works too, if I'm not being sarcastic.

Excel based VB macros, anyone, anyone?

I know. I just use it at work. Inelegantly, I might add.

im not taking your name, i said huge slacker, that trumps your slacker, slacker.

But I am the original Slacker, and you're just an imitator.

Though I might have to hand over the title to you with how slow you are going on the Garage. I did all the data entry for it in a couple weeks and you still haven't gotten more than the ATV working.

look at how pages of charts you had, of straight numbers.... then look at how many SECTIONS of items i have, with formula's i need to invent... i oughta kick you in the hoop for that one...

Whatever, the pages you are doing are mostly filled with fluff, and pictures, with a few bits of little equations.

The pages and pages and pages of data I entered what packed full of information that absolutely had to be part of the program. Other than the category headings, virtually every single character on every one of the multitude of pages for chassis and powerplants had to be entered.

Can you say the same for the pages you're dealing with?

Areyou guys married, or something? Get back to work!

See Sharp... It's clean, fast, efficient, it runs under Linux (with MONO) and Windows...

The development cycle is MUCH shorter also... And it's easy to learn.

i can say that i have to READ every entry, because they werent nice enough to put a little block in the stats for Adjustments that i can just refer to to figure out what each thing does, if anything, mechanically.

Well I wasn't going to mention it but all I really did was OCR'd the data and slapped it into the code format Aku wanted.

zzzzzz BURN!

I picked Lisp, but any language with closures (Ruby or Python, for instance) would do just as well. Doing UI in a language without first-class callbacks, or at the very least function pointers (anonymous inner classes do not count), seems like an exercise in masochism to me. Lisp is faster than the other two I named, but lacks cross-platform GUI components and a good interface to Tcl.
