Re: Programming languages Vs scripting languages

The former.

C++ is the most flexible language (save machine code/ASM) known to man.


Back in my day.... there were no laws that censored the internet... now, there are.... nah.

Re: Programming languages Vs scripting languages

^ Agreed with everything this guy said.

Scratch is experimental or when I can't (or don't feel like) using DarkGDK to aid with my C++ design.

JS = Web design (+XML)

PHP = Overrated tho, i don't use

C++ = Why should i explain, its too awesome

Java is programming, because you first need to compile it?  I think,

Re: Programming languages Vs scripting languages

Flash frustrates me as it only seems good enough for animation, Java is OK, but Scratch is my fave.


I might return for a little while.

Re: Programming languages Vs scripting languages

Java is the best competition language. Last competition I lost by one problem because I used C++ instead.

Re: Programming languages Vs scripting languages

See, I'm still a beginner, so I like them both! Python is awesome, C++ is EPIC, Scratch ROCKS, and Q-Basic is cool (I've been programming with it since age 3, but my big brother helped me a lot back them.) Oh yeah, I was forgetting LOGO! I learned that before Q-Basic.

If you really knew the languages, you would find that java is coded in nearly the same way as AS3, yeah flash is specialized but it is not bad at what it does.


Hi, I am Archmage coder extraordinaire. I do Scratch,pascal,java,php,html, AS2 and AS3. Leave me a message if you want coding advice. Also check out my personal website, lots of good stuff about web development, Flash, and Scratch (v1 and v2) !

Not necessarily. Only some programming languages need to be compiled. Python, for example, is an interpreted language and does not need to be compiled.

Edit: Never mind, Python is apparently considered a scripting language, because it's interpreted and not compiled into lower-level code. I guess you were right.  tongue
