What is the Best Language?

Is it C/C++, well perhaps its the most powerful "high-level" language but the differences between Borland C++ and Microsoft Visual C++, Dev C++, C++ Builder, Turbo C++, DJGPP and the rest are quite great, personally I own Borland C++,ev C++, C++ Builder, Turbo C++, DJGPP. But I ain''t gettin nowhere, cauz i need visual c++ to get things runnin and its way off my budget. Basic, visual basic is just to, visual. Qbasic, what i''ve been usin to develop my game. Simple but slow and quite weak. It''s too slow for me! Even with DirectQB. Pascal, can''t even figure out there begin and end statements and seems quite unsuitable for games. Fortran, Cobol and Lisp. Weak languages and not meant for developing games anyway. Python, Perl, interpreted langs, can''t get too far with them Shell, don''t even know what it is. Java - Slow!!! ASM - fast, able to tweek it, but hard to understand. Cna''t even figure out the move statements. Custom Langs - haven''t see much of them. Need some help here, with a powerful development environment for games, easy to understand, fast and has plenty of tutorials. Good compiler and IDE and probably a free engine too.

There is no best language. The only advice I can give is that you should use what works best for the job.

Bloodshed Dev-C++ is *free* and can make Windows programs and DirectX programs if you hack around in it. www.bloodshed.nu

Besides, if you are a serious programmer, you get the GNU tool kit, although, I saw it priced at over a thousand a pop.
