Any language which has a socket API can do socket programming
Which you should use depends primarily on which languages you know, and then on the problem being solved.

any modern language that has no socket capability wouldn't be very useful now would it? I do some with C/C++ and some with Ada. I'm sure whatever you are comfortable with will have a socket library.

I recommend Java for sockets programming. Java has support for both sockets and threads within the language.

well, as salem said, it depends on the task at hand. If you are trying to make a CGI program that can connect to different servers, then PERL might suit you better than C, also it depends whether you have time constraints on the program.
Can we assume that since the OP hasn't been back since they posted it, that any more replies are a complete and utter waste of time?

Java works ok and can interface with C++ sockets decently. Only downside is that Java is slow
No, because maybe others will come behind and read this.Originally Posted by Salem
