Good programming language for a beginner?

[Redtarget]

Give me sweet, sweet pointers.

Thing is, being a c++ programmer myself, i agree that java, python, c# (all the memory managed languages) are good for beginners, but then again, if you want to do games, having built in memory garbage disposal and managed systems brings a whole overhead of stuff you dun need.

which is why u need c/c++ stuff.

but tbh real programmers input all their binary digets BY HAND!

bonus round:

void main(void){
OverflowThisShit(1);
}

void OverflowThisShit(int i){
double* lawdy = new double;
lawdy = i;
i = i+i;
OverflowThisShit(i);
}

… I like how you used void for main function

must be some kind of reason

wait, I see none

Assembly language is my programming choice

Only really relevant for embedded programming these days. And even then, most microcontrollers can be programmed in C as well.

oh god why would you do that? I would be a nice way to heat a room though, I guess.

the program just crashes, it can’t heat up your CPU.

Anyways, the best programming language for beginners is Malbolge imho.

EDIT:
Here’s the code for “Hello world” in Malbolge:

 (=<`:9876Z4321UT.-Q+*)M'&%$H"!~}|Bzy?=|{z]KwZY44Eq0/{mlk**

Romeo, a young man with a remarkable patience.
Juliet, a likewise young woman of remarkable grace.
Ophelia, a remarkable woman much in dispute with Hamlet.
Hamlet, the flatterer of Andersen Insulting A/S.
Act I: Hamlet’s insults and flattery.
Scene I: The insulting of Romeo.
Enter Hamlet and Romeo
Hamlet: You lying stupid fatherless big smelly half-witted coward! You are as stupid as the difference between a handsome rich brave hero and thyself! Speak your mind!You are as brave as the sum of your fat little stuffed misused dusty old rotten codpiece and a beautiful fair warm peaceful sunny summer’s day. You are as healthy as the difference between the sum of the sweetest reddest rose and my father and yourself! Speak your mind!You are as cowardly as the sum of yourself and the difference
between a big mighty proud kingdom and a horse. Speak your mind.Speak your mind!
Exit Romeo
Scene II: The praising of Juliet.
Enter Juliet
Hamlet: Thou art as sweet as the sum of the sum of Romeo and his horse and his black cat! Speak thy mind!
Exit Juliet
Scene III: The praising of Ophelia.
Enter Ophelia
Hamlet: Thou art as lovely as the product of a large rural town and my amazing bottomless embroidered purse. Speak thy mind!Thou art as loving as the product of the bluest clearest sweetest sky and the sum of a squirrel and a white horse. Thou art as beautiful as the difference between Juliet and thyself. Speak thy mind!
Exeunt Ophelia and Hamlet

Act II: Behind Hamlet’s back.
Scene I: Romeo and Juliet’s conversation.
Enter Romeo and Juliet
Romeo: Speak your mind. You are as worried as the sum of yourself and the difference between my small smooth hamster and my nose. Speak your mind!
Juliet: Speak YOUR mind! You are as bad as Hamlet! You are as small as the
difference between the square of the difference between my little pony and your big hairy hound and the cube of your sorry little codpiece. Speak your mind!
Exit Romeo
Scene II: Juliet and Ophelia’s conversation.
Enter Ophelia
Juliet: Thou art as good as the quotient between Romeo and the sum of a small furry animal and a leech. Speak your mind!
Ophelia: Thou art as disgusting as the quotient between Romeo and twice the
difference between a mistletoe and an oozing infected blister! Speak your mind!
Exeunt

Hello world in Shakespearean Programming language.

ITS REAL! TRUST ME!

Seeing where the thread is currently headed, I’m surprised nobody mentioned Brainfuck yet. :freeman: The compulsory hello world example should be something like :
++++++++++[>+++++++>++++++++++>+++>+<<<<-]>++.>+.+++++++…+++.>++.<<+++++++++++++++.>.+++.------.--------.>+.>.

wowowow… that’s too hard for a beginner, Malbolge is 1000 times easier than this.

[calhoun_freeman]

Well, if you don’t like challenges, you can always try writing hello world in HQ9+.

H

there.

Hmmm, these languages are making me love Java now.

Impulse to suicide has subsided. Damn, didn’t think it possible.

Also, has anyone mentioned the “lolcat” language, yet? A bit retarded, considering it’s origin, but neat nonetheless.

You sir, are correct! However, I prefer Brainfuck due it’s superior name which subliminally implies to be fucking with your brain.

I want to learn APL (a programming language), according to wikipedia you can write the algorithm for Conway’s game of life in one line.

But I have stuff to do so it can wait.
