Any other ppls here who code/develop software, and if so what is your favorite coding lang and most hated one? And what was your biggest project?

For me my favorite language is either Python or Kotlin and most hated is cpp and VBA.

My biggest project which i am also currently working on is a bad notepad++ clone written in Java which also encrypts files saved with AES and has its own file-type.

i only have one piece of advice which is to not roll your own crypto

use a crypto library on java to do it, never self-implement AES!

i prefer serpent, still salty about the loss to rijindael but whatever...

Currently reworking the GUI and then finishing up the code, i kinda messed up the GUI and it is very user unfriendly so ill have to fix that but thanks for the tip

i am too low iq for any type of hobby that requires using ur brain a lot, even coding where someone with an average of 90 iq can achieve that

You could try out python (i can even help you learn it) since its very easy and its basically just English like for example if you want to have it print out a sentence or word in the console you just do ``` print('Hello World') ``` and done

i remember making games with scratch at elementary school and struggled with it,

i saw what programming is and tbh its not something that shows interest to me you know, too complex like mathematics and physics

It doesn't have to be just maths and physics, you can do a lot of stuff. Most of my projects are just silly things that came to mind while doing some random shit

I wish I could get myself up and mobilize energy to learn coding, but each time I tried to start my brain "switched" off quickly. A long time ago I did a few things with HTML and PHP, nothing special ofc that's not real coding, I know. I'd probably be interested in JS and maybe Python.

i hate coding haha it made me miserable but yeah to answer ur question my favourite langauge is javascript, i learned it because of how easy u can make cool projects with it combined with react, css, html etc, its really powerful. and my most hated is definitely Java, it was way too complicated and the whole oop thing.

For the last quarter century I have used mostly C++. As a general-purpose language, I think it's the best there is. Its main defect is the lack of native support for interrupt handling, but since I don't need to write software to e.g. control machinery that doesn't bother me. (And there are ways around the problem if you really need them.) These days I only develop software for my own needs, mainly for a biological research project that interests me, but in the past I have done all sorts of things, all the way back to 1971.

If you are any good, and assuming that you have a complete specification of the algorithm available, you should be able to implement it youself. (Of course, if you have a library available, you wouldn't bother No point re-inventing the wheel.)

C langs are great, no question, but i simply hate working with them because i am bad at making them not leak memory, so basically i stay as far away as possible from them and try to use langs like NIM, Python, Kotlin or Java before trying to solve the problem with a C lang, and i don't really like the syntax (at least for plain C)

If you want i can show you some of my code, it helped me to look at code to understand it when i was still the noobiest noob at coding

JS is a great language, its fun to play around with it but i tend more to TS, but well i don't really use JS/TS that much as i don't have a reason to use them except when trying to fix up my website(s)

My favourite language is either JavaScript or C#, least favourite is definitely GoLang. I hated working on that. Also Java because it was my first programming language and I just developed hatred towards it lol

I was interested in it at one point, fantasizing about how I could learn C#, Python and stuff but even JavaScript is way too hard for me, I wish I could have at least half of the skills that you and some people on this thread have.

I mostly use python and C++, sometimes Rust and C# depending on what I'm doing. My biggest project is probably making an RL agent to play a racing game.

I do some scripting in Python and JavaScript, and most of my database work in SQL. But most of my time is implementing and integrating enterprise-level applications.

One of these days, I might take a refresher in HS and college math so I can tackle some AI development.
