Tell us what your favorite language is for the computer or calc. The results will be shown after the poll is finished :).

ASM is my favorite to program in; it's the most fun; but that doesn't mean I'm any good at it :P

Lol I only do in-line Asm and very little of that :P (I chose Axe)

I found a few inaccuracies in your poll:

- JavaScript is wildly different from Java. It should more be next to HTML, since they're both used together (although it's less and less the case with Node.js and Duktape on Nspire).
- JQuery is not a language by itself but more a library for Javascript. They should probably be together.
- C# looks more like Java than C and C++, despite the name. They should probably not be together.
- While we're on the web, why not add PHP, Python, maybe even Bash?

Well, that's my two cents. Anyway, to answer your question, I find both Lua and Ruby pretty fun to program in, while I'm trying to make a living with HTML, JavaScript and PHP, which are also pretty nice. I know quite a lot of the languages we mentioned in this thread. But the best language of all time is Fluffle Puff (https://github.com/juju2143/flufflepuff).

TI-BASIC, as it's the only thing I'm decent at :P

EDIT:
but I like C

I think the poll should have allowed people to vote for more answers since some of us use multiple platforms, but I went with TI-BASIC since that is what I use the most lately. Also although HP PPL and Casio BASIC are not listed, I like them quite a lot too so I guess they could almost go in the TI-BASIC category.

I stopped using Axe 5.5 years ago, although I revisited one of my game 2.5 years ago to finish it. Finishing the game only required adding more level data and a graphic-oriented title screen requiring very minimal low-level knowledge of Axe, though. I never got into Grammer, Ruby, Lua, C, Jquery and Python style, to be honest. And my ASM learning attempts were futile  >.<

C/C++ definitely has my vote. Even if that's because it's the language I am most familiar with by far :P

Too bad you can't choose multiple languages, i like ASM and Java, though i also like (but slightly less) javascript, c/c++, lua etc

Java above everything for me.

TI-BASIC for me :trollface:

Either Lua or DJ is my favorite programming language ;)

How do I view the results? Can't seem to find a button or something for that...

Agreed with juju, Fluffle Puff is best language. Haskell is 2nd best.

Can i vote mlg brainc?

TI BASIC FTW!!!!

if only it was a bit faster <_<

I might go back on what I just said after I discovered CelticII Color det(12 commands. I think Hybrid Basic is my choice now.

I am not sure this is to be taken in account in this poll. Obviously you won't make a 3D multiplayer FPS in Basic but I think the point of the poll was more "what language do you most like to code with", as in "if it was possible to always use that language (no speed restrictions, language available on every platform), what language would you like it to be".

That's why I voted Axe. Because ok, I obviously mostly program in C, Java, etc due to Axe only being available on monochrome z80 calcs with user flash. But if I could do my school projects in Axe, I'd do them in Axe. Same for Unicorn, if he could do a 3D multiplayer FPS in Basic (and if he wanted to do a 3D multiplayer FPS), he'd do it in Basic. That's the point of the poll I guess.

Yeah what Hayleia said. The poll is only about preference. Of course some people will like a language better for its speed, but others might like a language better for different reasons.

Oh i didn't mean it like that :P i like TI-Basic too, and i didn't not-select it because it's slow, but simply because i like other languages better :P

oops, sorry for doule post

Scroll along ser, nuthin to see here

My favourite language by far is D! Jai looks like it is going to be pretty awesome too.

Is D very similar to C and the like or is it very different? Also I never heard of Jai. Is it still under development?

D is based on C and C++, but less complex.

And I never heard of Jai, but it looks pretty (http://youtube.com/watch?v=UTqZNujQOlA) interesting (https://sites.google.com/site/jailanguageprimer/).

Looks like what's used in Coach 6, a modelling program we sometimes use in Physics class. Though that maybe just the
same Syntax, because i don't think there is any flow contol in that

My favorite program languages are Java, C#, C, VB.Net, PHP and Lua.
And CSS, which is essentially not a programming language, but a descriptive language.

Will change thanks!

EDIT: you may want to change your vote because I updated the list thanks :)

And Curmed just lol

Also seems we can finally view the results

Yup, I thought April 1st was too long to wait so I showed them.

One more for C. But who put C and C++ in the same option ? They aren't the same langague or bear the same philosophy anymore!

Though they're often referred to as "C/C++"

Tbis worked more or less at the beggining but C++ took direcitons that C won't, like auto types.

Aah I thought they were still somewhat similar to a certain extent. That said, I wonder what's the amout of options allowed in forum polls? I should check if there's a limit because there are so many popular languages here that listing more would result into a massive poll.

You know, this is actually pretty hard for me. I can not choose between Axe and TI-Basic. TI-Basic brings back good memories.

Heya SiphonicSugar, welcome to the forums. Glad to see you are into programming. :)

I personally used Axe for a while in 2010, but then I switched back to hybrid TI-BASIC like I used way before Axe came out. I almost completely switched to color calcs, though, and I often do stuff in HP PPL on the HP Prime. I hope that KermMartian gets the signing key to make a Doors CSE for the new TI-84 Plus CE because the speed would be amazing compared to the CSE.

I am now into hybrid basic (like dj) but I may be sliding over to ruby...

As much crap as I like to give Java, I can get stuff done pretty quickly in it while also having it run quickly too. It's not bad as languages go :P

How do you guys format your code btw?

void test(){

}

or

void test()
{

}

I myself do the latter :P

also you can combine the two too O.O

void test(){
{

}
}


I do the second one. Makes code easier to read because matching { and } are on the same alignment.

Yeah I definitly agree on the brackets stuff. Especially since my IDE does that alone  :P
Pretty much hard to decide the one I prefer though, cause I like all the one I do ><

I made a new one (HP PPL :))

a new what? (am i missing something? O.O)

New poll entry.

Ah okay. sadly i don't have a HPP so i wont change my vote :P

Me neither :( I might be able to score a new calc today tho!

Oh  cool! Which one?

Any, but sadly, I couldn't find one. I also just took apart my casio one so something might happen there.

^:( did you go to a shop or something?

Garage sales ;)

hmm... i should go to one here and see if someone has one.. :3

YeH,the first time I went, I found a casio first and bought that, not knowing that there was a 82 for 10 dollars at the next sale. :/

:/ at least you got a new calc :3

At least, but I can't connect to a computer with it. :/

As for the poll, if I could change my vote, I would probably vote HP PPL.

Yes, as long as the one who ports it doesn't butcher the interpreter like TI did with the TI-Nspire CX (although it improved a lot since OS 3.6).

Darkest, whats with all the Double Posts?

Also, I format my code like this:


ClrHome


I changed mine to HP PPL instead if Axe :) (Axe is second but it is first for the z80s)

Thought you might do that. I need to get back on a comp and try a new language :/
Its hard with only and kindle and calculator.

Yeah, you mean computer by comp right?

I agree there is only so much you can do without tools on the computer for calc programming :(. For example I can't put pics for SIFS or convert PNGs into ICON format with out my PC.

Hmmm... that makes me think if I could make UtilPack or SIFS create a ICON from a GROB  :D

Yeah the poll was edited to allow people to change their vote. Mine is HP PPL right now. Now if only we had more HP Prime game programmers... (most people who use that calc only do maths :P)

Yeah I am glad to have the Prime for maths (it is my only CAS calc)
I hope to eventually have a equation solver for SIFS in the AI system that shows it's work, but I would want it to be so people would learn how to do it not just copy the answers <_<

I'm trying to find one that is affordable, so there may be a new programmer! The CAS would also be a big help. :)

you can get a Prime on Amazon for ~110$ free shipping with Amazon Prime, man that was confusing :P

Lol, we are primed to get a prime using prime :P

Yeah, I'm currently hoping that there might be one in a thrift shop near by. High hopes eh? :P

High hopes but I doubt it since most people that got a Prime are in high school/ college and are not going to get rid of it :-\

Yeah, but there may be a ti calc.

Oh, I see what you mean. I would think that it would be broken or something :(

Then I could try to fix it ;D

/me buys calc, the clerk says "are you sure it is broken" Unicorn goes home and heals calc with magical Unicorn powers

 Then Unicorn brings it back and sells it for 120$, an 1000% markup. :P

Then Unicorn buys a Prime ;)

And the story ends :D

But enough off topic.

On topic:
Then Unicorn changes his favorite Language to HP PPL :D

My life is complete, I become a buddist monk.

Wait, whaaaaaat?

If you get a prime, I hope you like HP PPL :)

I hope so too, and I probably will like HP PPL, I mean its BASIC and powerful :D

How is it not a language? Because it needs another one to work well?

It's not a programming language, but rather a markup language. I am surprised myself that it's included in the poll above so I'll remove it, since the poll isn't about markup languages.

Ok, but I would call it some form of a coding language...

Neither. It's truly to display stuff. Maybe we could call HTML5 something closer to a programming language, but not HTML4.

Yeah, that's what I thought, but I saw a whole game was in html5 once, so I was a little sceptic about that.

I've started to learn haskell, but then stopped, because it seems useless for most things I use code for.

Why isn't scratch on there? :P

What can scratch do? I never heard of that one.

By the way, ideally we try to include languages that aren't overly limited for game dev and general programming, such as COBOL. TI-Nspire Basic might be fine to include since TI-BASIC is included, but it would definitively not be a standalone language in the list, since it pretty much lacks any viable interactiveness for games.

https://scratch.mit.edu

But bb010g for https://snap.berkeley.edu/ a scratch clone allowing for your own conditions. I was joking about that, because you don't ever have to type one bit of code.

I have the Ti - Basic choice include all of the languages: 84+, Nspire, ect.

Also scratch is more of a gui language for learning code am I right?

Edit: Thanks, Juju

Ruby can be used in RPG Maker VX scripts, by the way.

My favorite language over all will have to be java. But for calcs I usually use axe.
