Geek Day 2 - Preferred programming language?

Posted by Simon Welsh | 4 November 2010 | Comments (2)

My preferred language would have to be PHP. Apart from being loosely typed, allowing me to be lazy, well supported and good at what it does (web stuffs), it also has a ton of rather useful inbuilt functions, with an easy way to get more.

Then there's the online manual, and the nifty manual lookup URLs, that make finding information on that one particular function you don't use enough to know off my heart including a rather large amount of user-submitted comments (all manually improved, so usually not bad), the large repositories of user submitted scripts (I have never used the last site, I just needed another link).

There's also the awesome elePHPants and the recursive acronym itself: PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.

When not using PHP, I'll probably be using either C, Objective-C, or, if I need to STL-whore, C++.
