What programming language is your favorite?

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

u/Unicorn July 08, 2015, 12:51:39 PM

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

Speaking about powerful I just added smooth scrolling into MinePrime again

u/Unicorn July 08, 2015, 01:48:12 PM

Smooth scrolling? As in scrolling very fast making it look very nice? Awesome!

No, I display the GROB 16 times in the direction the camera moves to simulate scrolling through the world

I think HTML should be removed from the poll since it isn't a programming language.

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

u/Dream of Omnimaga July 11, 2015, 02:30:52 PM

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.

u/Unicorn July 11, 2015, 04:40:35 PM

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

u/Dream of Omnimaga July 11, 2015, 06:25:35 PM

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

u/Unicorn July 12, 2015, 01:11:27 AM

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.

u/Unicorn July 12, 2015, 02:59:43 PM

Why isn't scratch on there?

u/Dream of Omnimaga July 13, 2015, 12:46:09 PM

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.
