Thread: Language of choice after C++

I used to work for a company called Bath Iron Works (I believe now a part of a company called General Dynamics since I've left). Although my job there was not design, I was able to see various "simulation" programs in the design phase of various ships. Surprisingly, the most commonly used language at the time to write and control the in-house simulations that I saw was ada (which I don't have any experience with by the way). I don't know if ada is a language designed for simulations (like list programming language is evidently designed for artificial intelligence).

Another neat 'language' that I've seen is the Adaptive Modeling Language

it basically is an API for engineering design. This, and some other software (tecpilot), is how I got into graphics and programming (although I have done no professional work with AML).

Learn Python. it is an ubelievable language. easy to use and productive as c/c++. download from here and start programming and becoming productive in less than half an hour guranteed. here are some tutorials . With python you can do pretty much anything you can with the "other" languages. you have a plethora of gui toolkits to choose from, you can do games ,web programming. Nokia even loves python so much they are adding it as a developer tool , so you can start coding for their phones. Think of the possibilities!!!!!

You even get to go away from the "C" type language becuase of its unique syntax. You code in python almost like your talking. Unbelievable.

IMHO

PYTHON OWNS!!
'nuff said.
