Release the Kraken - Fuck the Canucks
It's been a few years since I have done any major programming and I now have a few projects that will require I jump back in that water again. So the question is if you had to make a few fairly short/easy programs with minimal graphic requirements and mostly basic math functions and you hadn't been involved in any of the current languages, which would you jump into and why?
I have used both JS and C in the past, but haven't played with C in years and never jumped into full java.
At some point in time I've programmed in over a dozen languages. Doesn't take much for me to get back into the swing of things. Really just want to know what side any of you are on with the big two these days and if you could only choose one knowing either (or one not mentioned for that matter) are fully capable of doing the light duty things you are working on, which would it be? Can't rule out doing other projects moving forward so there's that.
Which one is easiest to get into, code, compile, and debug when you don't feel like spending a ton of time on the process?
I was leaning C#, but mostly because I've worked with creating libraries in M$ before and could see a use for some custom DLL's in making a few of these go faster as there are some cross functions I'll be working with. I'm sure Java has similar capabilities, but I haven't worked with it.
