Answer 1

Ok, so after thoroughly researching this topic I have come to this conclusion:

When comparing languages one must only compare languages which are in the same problem domain, that is, trying to solve the same problem. For example comparing C and PHP would be stupid because they both solve different problems. Instead we could compare C to C++ or Python to Ruby or R to MatLab.

In the same way that our bodies are comprised of different organs, in real world applications multiple languages work together to solve a problem. For example, a game would have certain parts in C++ to be optimized for graphic performance, while the loader may be created in HTML and CSS for ease and simplicity. Even a simple web app is made up of HTML, CSS, JS, SQL and a back end language. I haven't heard anyone try to compare HTML to CSS or CSS to PHP.

What most people don't understand is that even "general purpose" languages have some somewhat specific purposes and should be treated that way.

Conclusion:
When stating a favorite/least favorite language we should also be stating the problem domain and comparing it with a similar language while noting the reasons that we dislike the language.

Mine is:
Ruby for high level, low performance.
1. It doesn't seem to be doing anything new
2. I find the syntax counter-intuitive
3. I find certain features useless (modules,mixins.procs,lambdas)

I haven't yet learned any low level languages like C or BASIC.
No assembly either.
Nor math languages like R or MatLab.

More important Conclusion.
We should learn from our own creations, and instead of competing with each other, work together to solve a greater problem.

Answer 8

@luka for python I agree

Answer 9

Javascript for me, and php after 😊

Answer 10

I want to know better java bcs I think I could do a lot of thing with it, but... I don't understand this type of langage

Answer 11

I don't like languages such as C and C++. You constantly need ,{},/n, more {}, #include something, at least one function such as " main" and so on...It is way easier to write one or two lines of code. That's why I like Python. I don't mind its indentations. I had no experience in programming two years ago and Python was my first language. I prefer simple things such as:
a=5
b=6
print(a+b)

Now if you don't agree with me, please write the same piece of code in java, c++, c...

Answer 15

@Deepak so is any other high level language. Luka was discussing vba php and Python. python is definitely not slower. if it really is a concern I can post some bench marks but according to my memory it is actually the fastest high level one, but definitely not the slowest 😅

UPDATE:

It actually is one of the slowest:
