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.

VB is definitely uncool.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

I find C++ coolest one around
There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

All generalizations are wrong. Even this one.

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

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.

ruby is definately the most fun to use.

to be honest "cool programming language" is oxymoronic

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.
I'm not a programmer. My attitude starts with ignorance, holds steady at conversation, and ends with a trip to the hospital. Get used to it.

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
