#65866 — Favorite programming languages

(1) C with a bit of C++.
(2) XBASE languages, and specifically Visual Foxpro, and subsequently Visual FreePro.
(3) Assembly.

For general purpose apps, (1) and (2) may be
reversed. For kernel development, (1) and (3)
become (1) and (2), and are interchangeable
depending on what area I'm working on.

If the Lord is willing, I will proceed on my path
of development on Visual FreePro, Jr., and RDC. If not, I look forward to the path He has
for me. He knows how much I desire to finish
what I've started.

Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin

In terms of the languages I use most, numbers (1) and (2) are my own. 
(3) would probably be C (out of necessity, as it gets everywhere). (4) 
is assembly. Other languages, I just tinker with.

(Number (5) would be Fortran IV, but that was a long time ago.)

The ones I remember making a deep impression were Algol68, Postscript 
and K (a derivative of APL I think), but only briefly used Postscript 
out of those. Some I admire at the moment include one or two of the 
functional languages, but would never use them.

1. C
2. Postscript
3. APL/Lisp/FP-stuff
4. Machine and Computation models in the above
   a. FAs, CAs, 
   b. L-Systems,
   c. PDAs,
   d. Thue-Systems

I loved Lego blocks as a child, poetry as a teenager,
coffee as a ... post-teenager.

By posting in comp.lang.c, you are addressing every subscriber in that 
group, including those that read the group but don't post to it.

Here's something else for you (and the other subscribers to comp.lang.c,
including those who do not post) to ponder.  It's a snippet from a movie
presented in a debate setting.

It explains a great many things that may be lacking in the general
worldly (un-churched) 2015 understanding:

1. C, does pretty much everything, mostly custom tool friendly;
2. C++, like C with more features, but less reliable compiler support 
and harder to process with custom tools;
3. Assembler, because if you have ASM at least you aren't totally SOL if 
you need to do something funky;
4. C#, like Java but better designed, though kind of sucks on a 
general-purpose tools/VM sense (IOW: use much outside of desktop PC 
software);
5. Java, like C# but more portable, painful to use;
...


for my own use-cases, my own language(BGBScript) is reasonably high on 
the list (but not used for the same things as C or C++):
pros:
   can do most things C, C#, and Java can do in my uses;
   mostly specialized to my development practices;
   ...
cons:
   implementation tends towards being rather immature
     (lots of bugs and incomplete features);
   existing VM fails hard in some use-cases (*);
   ...


*: it is NOT well suited to resource-constrained targets or for 
real-time use (IOW: use-cases where predictable microsecond-scale 
latencies are needed).

I had started on a new language effort I was calling BGBScript-RT partly 
for trying to better address this use-case (via using a different VM 
design).


ATM, most of my development in this area (real-time motor-controls type 
stuff) has been plain C, but even then I have ran into a few problems:
as-is, at about 1Hz, there seems to be a fairly regular 25ms delay;
I am not yet sure the cause of this delay, but it is interfering with 
the correct operation of one of my machines (such as causing PWM to 
briefly halt and the motor coils to saturate and pull excessive current).

IOW: once per second, the program seems to freeze for approx 25 
milliseconds.

I am not entirely sure the cause as of yet, or the best way to address it.

1. C/C++ I really can't program straight C anymore
2. Assembler
3. Google Go 

and rest follows...

For web development I use JavaScript
server side is C/C++/PHP.

Assembler rarely used, and golang is my hobby language.

 Assembly, B, C, C on GPU, C2, D2 

with other languages i got a bit being interested in javascript and probably 
no thing more, ^^

C2 is much extended and repaired C on whose i work 10 years or so (i wrote on its features many times, mainly geting rid of headers and more suitable module support, improved struct passing, relocable and resizable array, more sugar etc etc).. d2 is somewhat optional yet automatized extension to c2 - no time to say on this here this time though

If it's available somewhere I'd like to see it.  Or if there's some
kind of writeup on the changes.

mostly in my head (in such ideal form as it could get right now) - though each one idea was spaned on some usenet messy archives (could be used in spite of my sudden death)

ps. will say on this later recent days interested in "gpu c" only (besides being
exhausted again, but will back)

This posting is not really suited to this newsgroup.
I suggest comp.lang.misc instead.
