Hello guys, I have a question that doesn't pertain to one programming language or another but all programming languages.
That question would be why do people fight over the "best" programming languages? (do they really? I have seen a few posts of people timing operations in different languages)
for example some people might argue that Java is better than C or Vice Versa. The thing is after taking a leave of absence from this forum for quite a while I have taken formal classes for VB (.net :P) and Java (next up VB advanced then C), and I have also learned a little javascript from Unity (I feel so stupid saying that (and .net))
But after taking a quick lap around the house, not quite a walk around the block. I have realized that the reason there are so many programming languages is so you can have flexibility. For example if you want to make a nice looking application quick make it with VB. If you want to make something that will run on a lot of different stuff make it with Java. If you want to make it run on anything make it with C++. if you want it to run on Apple Products make it with Objective C.
You probably get my point by now.
I don't really know why I posted this, just wanted to get this off my chest.
What is your take on this...
I hope I don't anger anyone.
