Which coding language do you use?

Java (No thanks,  for real programming I want something that has pointers)

 

 

Hmm? Java does have pointers. The infamous NullPointerException is the proof of this.

What I mean is the C-like powerful pointers, not the poniter-ish Java References. This comes from my low-level way to think; I want to be in control of the memory rather than let a VM decide.

I guess it depends on what you're doing, but memory management can be a real pain in the ass.

Yup, you're right about that. Which is why I like to do it myself, so that if (when) a bug is found, I know that it is something I can fix

And as you see in my original post, I mainly write low-level code instead of say, for example, GUI code. And in the low-level world C is the only real option in my opinion..

Yeah for low-level, it's either C or assembly. I do mostly high-level stuff, like Javascript and PHP for web pages, and Java for Android. However, there was at one point I did C++ programming for a video game.

Ruby is a great language in my opinion. (what that counts for is up to you) Duck typing should exist everywhere. 

And now you can even program your robots with http://artoo.io with ease. This is something I would like to try. Mruby is getting it to be usable in a lot of new areas.

Cool! Hadn't heard of this yet!

If i can find a way to send serial data through a com port i will be using C* else i will be using python..

In Linux you could just write to the serial port in /dev using fputc() AFAIK, this works at least with parallel ports. If you are using windows, then no clue Maybe using X86-specific inline-assembly, writing to addresses 0x3F8 - 0x3FF (using the mov or out instructions, maybe?)

The coding language I use depends on what I'm doing. But, I'm learning more on C++, Java, and Python.

My school teaches JS, but I don't really care to know it considering I can't make reall apps with it. I'm currently working in C# at home, and will probably start trying to use C++ soon. The Idea of me starting with C# last summer is that I wanted to learn the C syntax and basics first in C#, and be in an easier-to-use language so I could work on actual programs right away.

I program mostly in Java and C#, but dabble in a bit of HTML, CSS, & tiny amount of JavaScript and PHP stuff. (Funny how I use both sides of the fight..) I use Java and C# mostly for web applications, but still do some occasional desktop work. (I also make games and stuff in my free time in C# with XNA & Monogame)
