This is still a matter of opinion. My favorite language is still C++.
This is of course personal preference, but also mostly because I realized (and it seems to me that some people haven't, just go around and ask what is C/C++, and people will tell you it's one language...) that C++ is not just anymore "C with classes", and the fact there is C-ish, or even just bad C++ code out in the wild doesn't make the language bad in itself (it can still be less appropriate/completely irrelevant for some applications, which is fine).
- raverbashing 12y agoTrue, with STL and the recent changes the "C with classes" thing gets more distant. But sorry, I don't miss the includes, the huge class hierarchies, the template madness, etc C++ is good if you stick to a strict code standard and don't let people "go crazy" with it. But the thing is that good languages end up limiting the amount of "bad code" that naturally emerges. (Java does it through lack of flexibility and enforcement, I prefer the Python and Go way)
