[Poll] Python or C++

Neither.
Java.

You just want another person in the dead java section don't you? Actually how hard is Java, I was thinking of switching from c++ to java. Because it would teach me things and then syntactically similar and when I am ready, switch over to c++ later in life. Another reason I was thinking of switching was minecraft XD 1 guy made almost 2million dollars from his little game. It was coded in Java also, wonder if I could also do the same? lol


Anyways choose one of C languages then for an IT related job later in life (more than one language helps)

Well I would like another to see some more people that know Java, but I don't use it much now, too preoccupied with other projects, though I would love to pick it up again to start working on the Android SDK.

But no the reason I chose Java, is unlike C++, Python, or C, it is a completely object oriented language. Every data type is an object besides the most primitive. So the language forces you to use objects, which is a good habit to get into for the rest of your programming career.

PS: Also I have an affinity to it because its the first language I learned.

@ Question in general & @ez2animate - grrrrrr..... Each language has it's own "functions" (if you will), it's like pinning PHP against ASP or ASP against Asp.net, it's just not practical. Each language has it's own form of simplicity and it's own purpose. Only a amateur developer (no offense) would even debate the two. There are many (many) things I would use Java for but there are also somethings (especially when dealing with a linux box or PBX) I would use python for. In some cases I will choose web applications over desktop applications. Languages are developed for simplicity and ease, but each with it's own purpose in the ever growing development (and tech) World/Industry. Which one you choose (professionally and not personally) should be a matter of necessity not favoritism.


@ Why06 , Note: your missing out , Android SDK + Titanium = boat loads of fun.
