Coolest programming language?

[Rashakil Fol]

What's the coolest programming language? And why?

Oh boy this should be fun :->

[cscgal]

PHP because it made a cool thing like DaniWeb.

[Comatose]

Perl. Any other questions?

[WolfPack]

C++

[MIGSoft]

C and Python...beat that.

[anupam_smart]

Java or C?

[WolfPack]

Java or C?

C and Python

The question is what is the programming language, not what are the coolest languages. Decide which one.

[WolfPack]

C++

I later saw the why? part.
VB, C and C++ are the only ones I know even a little bit. VB is a bit old. No galmour in saying that. C++ supports C too. So I am getting 2 out of 3 when I say C++.

[iamthwee]

Define cool.

[Comatose]

C/C++ has been around much longer than VB.

[WolfPack]

C/C++ has been around much longer than VB.

Yep. What would be the word then... deprecated? But I think you know what I mean. I am talking about VB6, and it has not been supported by Visual Studio since this .NET thing.

[jwenting]

VB is definitely uncool.

[hammerhead]

I find C++ coolest one around

[server_crash]

The coolest programing language doesn't exist because I haven't made it yet.

[msaqib]

C# is the best language I think for Windows Programmers.

[Rashakil Fol]

I think Haskell is pretty cool. At least in the sense of if anybody claims that OO is the end-all of everything, you can say no, functional programming is, tell them that Haskell is better than any OO language, and then you won't have to hear back from them for ten years as they try to understand how a list could possibly have an infinite number of elements.

I think right now that Perl 6 is pushing the awesomeness and coolness envelope pretty far.

[pty]

ruby is definately the most fun to use.

to be honest "cool programming language" is oxymoronic

[Erich K]

I think Python is pretty fun to work with. Plus, even I can learn it, so that makes it cool :cheesy:

I think I may decide to learn python so I can code up some blender scripts.

Binary though it's not a language in the modern sense it's been around for thousands of years (since the invention of the abacus and maybe earlier) and still sits there now underneath all the others
