Python, it's the best at this and the worst at everything else

Julia, quite recent but really nice

C / Fortran, that's why they are used in fast math libs

OCaml / F# / Clojure 'cause real life oriented

Java, could have said C# but Java really is cleaner

C, I know it's harder than Python, but ffs learn how memory works before trying algorithms

Python, really English with .py extension

Haskell, very powerful but too mathematical oriented

OCaml, Java, C

probably Go and Rust : no generics + boilerplate, borrow checker meme makes it a pain in the ass to program concurrently
> an odd language you know
Prolog, quite fun to learn and can actually be very useful
> a language you would like to learn in depth
F#, because I love OCaml and it looks like OCaml with some different features and a single stdlib which is nice. Also, .NET environment gives access to a lot of packages.
C++ would be nice to master too, as the standards are going towards even nicer features.

Haskell, beautiful but useless in real world

I know Java has caveats, like its verbosity. But in the end it's a nice language, people have spent a lot of time on optimising the JVM, so that in the end we got a GC language that still performs quite well in the majority of applications. Huge community, used in university to teach OOP, ... I'm using real life arguments instead of stupidly quoting and not explaining my point
For Python, it actually is a scripting language, and all its other features are implemented better in other languages. Would be glad to hear your developed ideas about what I stated though. I mean, if you accept dropping your autism for a few minutes.

I don't think I know that many different language
>the best server side language
>the best client side language
Idk, I never understood why people care so much about the distinction between server side and client side languages.
>the best scripting language
I don't like any of them. Lua seems fine.
>the best scientific language
never really used any of them but Julia seemed nice.
>the best performance oriented language
"performance" is too fuzzy as a concept. Usually you don't want performance, but you want control. C/C++ or D are good for that.
>the best distributed programming language
never used any of those
>the best procedural language
C/C++ or D. Pascal is also nice. (I mention C++ and D, because I don't use their object oriented features much)
>the best functional language
Standard ML, or Common Lisp if you'd count that as a functional language.

Smalltalk or Self

True, it's quite nice.
> Standard ML as a first language
Really ? That's interesting mate ! As an OCamy guy, I still don't know if I'd give that language to a newcomer. Basic concepts like variables are nice to begin with. And an indexed for loop is easier than a list fold, don't you think ?
> simplest one : a Lisp dialect
Disagree with this one though. Looks syntactically unreadable to me. But for someone used to Lisps that might look easier.
> most hated languages
I hate JS and forgot to mention it, but I like Python somewhat, in scripting only though as I said. But the syntax is comfy, and gets shit done for batch processing.

At my university they teach sml in the first programming course. Most people hate it.
I agree that not everything is easy or straightforward to write in it, but I don't think that's too important as a first language. Learning how to think programmatically is more important and I personally think sml is pretty good for that.
> simplest one : a Lisp dialect
>Disagree with this one though. Looks syntactically unreadable to me. But for someone used to Lisps that might look easier.
yea, what's simple and what's not definitely depends on your preferences and what you're used to.

the first two idk
the scripting lang is python or sh
the scientific lang is idk, D maybe?
the prefomance lang is asm of course
the distributed lang, whhat?
the procedural is c probably, or the ones which strife to overcome c's disadvantages.
the functional is common lisp.
the oop lang, well, idk. c++ is a shit.
the first lang to learn is c, i think
the simplest lang is block algorithms, srsly
the hardest is pure 0101110 code probably, ot any fucked up project on any lang
the favourite of mine is none, for i'm not a programmer at all. I do like lisps though.
the hated lang is none, i'm not programer again
an odd lang is none, elisp is not odd
a language to learn in depth is probably CL
my favourite meme language is english of course
