Question: What is your favourite programming langauge to code in?

Thats a hard one. It really depends on what you are trying to do.

For “serious” projects, I usually code in C or C++, because it runs nice and fast, but takes longer to develop in.
I often try out ideas in perl or python to see if something will work. Sometimes it works well enough that you can leave it as is. Other times you can do enough to see it will work, but it won’t run fast enough or scale well, so I recode it in C or C++.
If I’m writing an app for android, I use Java though.
Once you have learnt one programming language, its not TOO difficult to switch between languages, although occasionally you find yourself typing C into python or vice versa!
