Umm, so i might get into linux heheh and was looking for a comon easy to write programming language and i found Python ( http://www.python.org/ ) have any one try it and what ya think bout it, the cool I read so far is that is easy to compile for all OS, Linux Osx and windows

It's a scripting language, not a programing language.

Ah crap, wait so i can make like a program to use in paltalk in linux or mac with it, damn

Do it with less, there is nothing you can't do with less

Less what lol, man all I need is an easy to use programming language that I can use across all OS linux mac and windows lol

locohacker wrote:Less what lol

less is like more but better, type man less you'll see.

That is, obviousely, C++.

Ah C++ lol man I being trying to avoid C++ for ever but is imnerable I must learn it

Go delphi locohacker, Its just as powerful as c++ and easy like vb6 plus the amount of free componates is unbelivable. I found my favourite programming language now so all I have to do is master it....

And available for what platforms?

Languages became popular and disapeared, C++ is mature, clean, supported on virtually any platform with many IDEs, frameworks, and compilers to choose from, and here to stay, forever.
It's simply has no match.

Ah, delpho sounds cool i gonna check on it

Well delphi is avaliable on linux system but knowen as klyx or something like that, So yeah I guess you could say delphi is crossplatform, Also The maker of delphi invented the .net frame work so they have some good coders writting the langauge, And as for being mature... Well delphi has been around as long as I can remember and originated from pascal langauge. There are many argument between Delphi langauge and C++ but at the end of the day it all depends on the user and what he/she feels is best for them.


Locohacker, If you do decide to start with delphi then I will gladly help you along the way, I have done all the basic paltalk stuff needed when writting apps for paltalk, Send text, Get text, Send Virtual commands ect... all the stuff we use in vb6 was easy to translated to delphi.

Yes there was Kylix once upon a time...
And some of the Delphi component library has is now available with C++ too (Turbo C++ is making a comeback) and it's also free (for now).

What I don't understand is the fear from C++, which isn't realy more difficult to lean than any other language.

For a book about C++, I always recomend to go to the source, "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne Stroustrup. As for which one to buy read this

Lol I dont know but eveytime I try C++ i just get a headache and move on lol

What I prob goign to end up doing is move to delphi from vb 6 for paltalk programs fro windows and learn c++ for linux and mac the good thing I think was nano or ya chike that made a real easy to do program in c++ thas how i started on vb and then took off with a small pop up message

I must admit that the VC++ 2005 for .NET is pretty messy and a bit hard to figure at start, because it's not pure C++ (when writing .NET code,) but it has it's benefits, the framework, amd above all the garbage collection, which in my oppinion should be implemented in standard C++.
I would prefer to use MFC instead of .NET, but MFC is not free, and I aint paying for it.

Maybe you can post one of the more simple programs code, or just some functions, and I can try to convert them to C++, so you can see the differences.

locohacker wrote:Ah C++ lol man I being trying to avoid C++ for ever but is imnerable I must learn it

nah nah, keep trying it

don't tell me that I made you quit when I told you I started Java
that's just me, I even started gezel and VHDL

keep going on c++ man, and java is also a good way to keep it throguh different platforms
