When I say 'industry standard'. I mean, go and get a software engineer job without knowledge of C/C++. It'll be highly unlikely and very difficult.

oh no doubt. you wont get a good job without EITHER C/C++ OR Java... but if you want a great job, you should know both.

Why is everyone hating on Java here?


Actually, as you can see from the post I quoted above, the "industry standard" would be Java.
However, as Java and the C's are quite similar in syntax, you will likely know, if not have to know one of the C's if you know Java.

Everybody is hating java because those doing it have realized that it is a language for five year olds who are unable to do the real stuff.

from School of Rock: "those who can't do, teach; those who can't teach, teach gym"
adapted: those who cannot program (machine code/asm) use a high level language; those who cannot use that, use java.

Java is the only language I kinda know. Java is great.

While I wouldn't say it's the best language overall, I'll also vouch for Java because that's where my only programming knowledge lies. Apparently, my professor got hired in a high end company with his knowledge of Java when working as an intern back in his day (though he wouldn't say who).

I'm with you in this point - you should definitely know both.

However, I personally find Java to be a good and functional language - if you don't need the execution speed of Assembly, you use C, if you don't need that speed you use Java, it's got the benefit of running on it's own platform, allowing it to be executed on almost any OS, or from a web page.

I think Java is great - I started doing programming in Java, but am now learning C/C++ I think Java is quite similar to C/C++ in syntax, as far as I've seen. It executes slightly slower, but on more platforms. You have to trade one if you want the other.

"saying that java is good because it works on all platforms is like saying anal sex is good because it works on all genders"

okay, but does that make anal sex any worse?

I've never properly programmed in any language. Just dabbled about in them.

English.
Also language by itself is a pretty cool, imagine how different the first language ever created is to the present day language.

I'm not sure if this is trolling, or..

There is no way it isn't, by the way thanks everyone for the recommendations!

Lua, even though it's not commonly used. It's used on lots, and lots of games I play. So it's good to use when I create my Cheat Engine Trainers and such.
