what is the erlang programming language and what are its uses? and what is haskell with its uses?

lua is nice

What's the use case? For scientific programming, Julia looks like a viable option. Not quite as mature yet, but slowly getting there.

I don't know about webshit.

There's no such thing as "actually fast" without dropping down to C.

There is.
[spoiler]Dropping down to Pascal. C grammar sucks.[/spoiler]

So if i understood correctly your code does this:

#1
if first then first = next (Drops first from list)
#2
if last then last = previous (drops last from list)
else next.previous = previous (drops any in the list not on the edges and count > 2 )
#3
if not first then previous.next = next (restore next link to changed object in #2)
#4
Flag previous as a free spot

the code looks correct so far, the only stuff i can point out is that you're using "object" instead of "obj" in #1, if that's the actual code, and maybe you're forgetting to unflag the removed object as no longer being the first?

C is inherently faster than Pascal for all intensive computational purposes.

#4 (correction)
link previous to freespot
replace object with freespot

to be completely honest. i'm talking about a variety of uses from scientific programming to hacking(no meme) so a general language very similar to python but faster and my priorities are definitely learning hacking and scientific programming.

In short, no because CPUs are designed in a procedural manner rather than functional, so every operation has to be translated to a procedural design.

Ruby or Perl if you want to keep simplicity, Scheme is a good and fast algorithmic language, using Racket instead might help you get around its quirks, but C++ is necessary you want to design a fast, complex system
