Which of these languages is best viewed as useful for now (and also future)? C/C++/C#/Java

Answer 1

If you are developing applications for Windows desktops, or for Windows servers (e.g. ASPdotNET), or for Windows phone, then C#.
If you are developing a PC game or writing an OS, then C or C++.
If you are writing server applications (e.g. web or mobile), or targeting Android phones, then Java.
If you are targeting iPhones/iPads, then ObjectiveC or Swift.
If you are building the browser side of an application, or if using node.js, then Javascript.

Answer 2

In the languages you specified, C++ is good. It is lightweight, doesn't cram as much space as Java and it's easy to learn.

Answer 3

If you need high performance or low memory consume then you go with C or C++. Examples: game engines, OSes, some embedded software...
Can't see that C and C++ are easy to learn. They are easy to shoot in your leg...

Answer 4

One major difference between C#, JavaScript and other scripting side languages, from languages like c++ is the way it handles garbage collection. For instance, if you are using c++, you would need to explicitly state the delete operator to clean up "dangling memory". C#, JavaScript etc does most of that for you.

Answer 6
