Which programming language looks best to you?

[ClassiCool]

I care a little bit about function, but I care mostly about the looks. I've got a program which sings "When you just wanna dance, butchya can't, ya gotta believe thatchya can.", written in four different languages. C# looks nicer than Java even though they're similar. Python seems too basic for me and C too complicated. However, I can't do much C# without admin rights on my computer (and I hate that). These programs are filtered using the default filtering algorithms Visual Studio Code uses with its extensions. Here's the code:

Another thing is that I want to make a game with one of these languages, so C is already out the window because it's hard to set up FreeGlut and other OpenGL stuff.

Which looks nicest? I want to know your opinions. I might ask for admin permissions too and start making C# games, probably with FNA, which uses .NET 4 so I might try Unity.

i like java script you should do that

That is Java... Not JavaScript, those are 2 different things.

java script is what made java editon and the words you see in windows and more is all in java script

almost none of that is true, minecraft java edition was made in java and windows uses a lot of different languages throughout different elements of itself.

I'd like to add on to this:

  Quote

Alongside HTML and CSS, JavaScript is one of the core technologies of the World Wide Web.^[10] JavaScript enables interactive web pages and is an essential part of web applications. The vast majority of websites use it for client-side page behavior,^[11] and all major web browsers have a dedicated JavaScript engine to execute it.

Source: Wikipedia, 2nd paragraph. Minecraft was available online, however it used a Java applet, which is a very different breed compared to JavaScript.

i personally like c# and js

[MESYETI]

I like Python and C

[ClassiCool]

Hello. I am from the future. Was it really 2 months ago since I left? Anyways, I want to let everybody know how I got on. I found out about SDL, and that's great. I didn't really like Java in the end, so I dropped that off. I don't use Unity, I use MonoGame and occasionally Godot with C#. I've tried out JavaScript (more specifically TypeScript) and I like the syntax. However, creating a game project is a hassle, because I have to set up a web server and stuff. Anyways, I was bored. I may come on ClassiCube for a few days, including today.

Note: This post contains the 5000th comment, which is the one right at the top. How lucky of me!

Edit: Why am I up and coming?

[epic_man89]

i personally think x86 Assembly (i think thats what it is, im pretty sure its not machine language) is the best language.
