Best language for small projects?

Question

I'm not planning on doing programming in my career but I love programming. So what is the best language to learn for small projects like music players, writing mods, building a mission on a gamr using scrips, etc

Answer 1

I am showing pros:

JavaScript: You can use it in Sololearn or any browser for visual appearance. you don't have to install any compiler as all browser support JS. Other languages have only console, no graphics as you can do it in PC.

Python: It's main advantage is short codes and lots of user supporting features. But you can't have visual appearance of calculator or game here on Sololearn. But it is good choice in PC.

Java: It's very good as python and more in case of making apps. Java was number one language last year for making jobs. It's used for heavy projects and have many modules.

Ruby: Ruby is probably the best OOP language. It can be used for apps and games by Ruby2D. It also have many features that supports users well.

Answer 2

May be Ruby, JavaScript, Python or Java. I recommend Ruby.

Answer 5

Any significant differences?

Answer 6

Java : for making pc and Android applications

Python: suitable for testing or making small programes quick and easily

Java Script: for web development but you can make games on web

Ruby: pretty much all above

they are quite different, so chose one and stick with it. Then learn other one after you underrstand the basic of it.

if you are a beginner I'd recoommend you to start with python then ruby

Do a proof of concept in every of your favored languages to find out which one fits best.

Then start coding! :)
