I want to see everyone's opinon on these coding languages,and if you can please identify one of the pros and cons of each coding language.I myself know java.
Pros:Simple to understand,statements/methods are easy to remember,could have class for each object you make to save some space and or time
Cons:could be slow,sometimes difficult to do some things,dont know any more cons |

| I wouldn't trust anyone's opinion on this forum, since they're all going to recommend to you the language they prefer, including myself. I'd recommend instead doing a search on Google to find their cons and pros. |

@LocalChum Ruby is a beautiful language. Beautiful. Language. If scripting in ROBLOX had to be something else, it would be best as Ruby.
I don't like Java either. It's a mess. |

| To me, Java seems a fairly clean language at first, but if you look deeply enough, you'll notice that's not so. It's still no reason to say that it's garbage, it's a great language to get stuff done fast. |

Actually, we should exclude Ruby because it is too different from the three others...
And we should exclude C# because it is not cross-platform (which immediately eliminates it for everything that should be cross-platform)...
And we should exclude C, because, why use C when you can use C++, which is the exact same thing but better (yes, yes, I know what you're going to tell me, but, BRIEFLY AND BASICALLY, it's the same thing, OK?)?...
So we're left with C++ and Java. (oh, look, these are the two languages I prefer! I told you I was going to be biased earlier, just like everyone here is)
Now, which to choose?
Huh...
Good question. Depends what exactly you want. |

I love the low level aspects of C, and C++ has some pretty nice additions. Unfortunately, I've yet to move away from Lua at all lol. I'm doing more research for assembly though! |

| There has yet to be a language on the market with its current platform to be able to out-pwn C++ in what C++ was made for. And it's quite old, and shares many things with the ancient ancestor C. |

| C# is like Java, except better in every single aspect. |

@Miloguy Except it's non-cross-platformness.
But that's not that big of a deal usually, depending on who you're targeting. And heck, if it's a personal application, it doesn't matter at all, really. |

Nope. Java is better at cross-platform. (if C# can even do that at all)

@Myrkos Well. That's interesting.
Everyone who I would ever develop software for locally runs some version of Windows that's XP or newer.
Developing software is easy in this instance. But you know, you could always make different versions for each OS if that's that important for you. |

@LPGHatGuy,
I have found it relatively easy to make software in C++ that uses completely cross platform libraries like SFML or Qt. I even have this system with various scripts to automate the process. I haven't really bothered with C# or Java because what I use now happens to work well. |

Trying to be unbiased:
C: +really old +relatively fast -dangerous for beginners -harder to use than more modern languages -really old; no newer stuff like OOP
C++: +relatively fast ++can pretty much do anything +OOP -dangerous for beginners -now owned by Microsoft (who wants your money)
Java: +safe (uses a virtual machine) +open-source and cross-platform +universal, can be embedded -has some rounding problems, I heard -messier and not as flexible with object/method/variable names
C#: +safe (same as Java) +flexible naming (though could lead to problems if you're careless and have an object's name be the same as a variable' name) --owned by Microsoft (not free, not cross-platform)
I don't know Ruby.

PurpleKiwi,
C++ isn't owned by anyone dude, and Java isn't cross platform either. |
