I don't know much about languages, but why would you go for the easiest route? I think C and C++ are one of the hardest languages, but it seems to be one of the best too. I never even used Pascal so I wouldn't know to much about it, but I would suggest C or C++ since it seems to be more popular, and a lot of things revolve around it. Plus there are some great tutorials, and alot of people to help you.
Pascal is very basic and while you can do a lot of things with it, you should learn a more full-feature language like C++.
If you want.! more easyest language and powerfull use C#
>>> Pascal is very basic
That is an odd statement. Whilst it is true that Pascal was developed as a teaching language, it has grown and todays Pascal systems, (consider Borland Delphi for example), are very flexible and powerful. Certainly not basic.
I use Delphi at least once a week because it turns out certain jobs in a fraction of the effort C/C++ would use.
I still prefare giving it a try. Where are some basic C++? tutorials with guides on what to use?
Adrian, I apologize for the comment. I wasn't aware that Delphi was a Pascal-like language. I don't really know anything about Delphi, and my only experience with Pascal was my very first programming class in college.... and it seemed very simple at the time and I haven't really touched it since then.
I guess that was a bit of an ignorant statement.
You can think of Delphi as Pascal++; Its main addition to its pascal heritage was object orientation.
Pascal is also very much a full-featured language; back in the days of DOS it was very popular amongst the programming fraternity. There were plenty of commercial games made using it, ran just as fast as its C/C++ equivalent.
The problem is that it looks damn freaky from a C/C++ viewpoint, that's all. ;)
>>> Its main addition to its pascal heritage was object orientation.
Actually, "Object Pascal" pre dates Delphi by quite a bit. Indeed, the last couple of releases of Borlands "Turbo Pascal" suite were OO.
For the right applications, Delphi is a really sweet tool to use.
This is something of a digression however. To the OP, C/C++ has a greater marketability then Pascal/Delphi, although it depends where you are to a certain extent. In the US, Delphi is not as popular as it is in Europe.
Hello! What hell is this? Some kind of general blanter. This is my topic! Post a new thread about the small details about C++ and Pascal.
Abusing people always seems like a strange way to ask for help...
You do not consider the discussion of the pros and cons of the 2 languages you are inquirying about to be relevent, and probably highly significant to your original question, which posted on a C/C++ forum is really likely to get a unbiased view?

what's wrong with you...??
Python is probably the easiest language to use. Here is an article that describes it:
