Which programming language is the most fun/useful to learn in

>>59709580
Most likely the combination of Ruby/Crystal, as you almost get two for one in the long term.

Not OP but does anyone really use crystal? I'm just a noob but I've only heard of it the other day.

C# in visual studio is amazing. I've had a lot of fun playing around with the Windows forms and building applications.

As in companies other than Manas do in production? No, of course, not, it will become stable this year.

However, unless they totally botch it - and looking at 0.22 I have high expectations - I expect a lot of companies using Ruby to adopt it, as it's basically Ruby without the dynamic meme.

C#. Super easy to pick up, Winforms lets you slap together applications very easily, and Visual Studio takes a shitload of the work out of the learning curve to proper formatting and error detection and syntax.

C#.
Just pick up a good book like "Pro C# 5.0 and the .NET 4.5 Framework" or newer and just read it for one hour everyday.

If you can, make some exercises and try to follow the book examples in Visual Studio. Hell, you don't even need Visual Studio if you don't want to, just use a simple code editor and compile using csc/mono.

Honestly? Python. Gives you most bang (as in everyday fun things you can do with it) for the buck (time spent on learning it).

Thank you for the run down anon. Maybe I will start looking into this as well.

Visual Basic.

VB is fucking anus.
