Languages In The Workplace

Recommended Posts

For those of you in already well into your career, what is the main programming language that you use?In the places that I've worked, Visual Basic and Java were the main languages used. It just seems like to me that older companies that have been around for a while tend to use C or C++ while newer upstart ones use Java. This might be just a unfounded conclusion of mine, but I would just like to know anyway.

Well, In places where I worked literally every programming laguage is used! May be it is bacause I work for a software consultancy/service company. A lot depends on the type of software you are developing/enhancing. Still for system level programs C/C++ is preffered. JAVA too is coming up, but for OS level (Which includes OS in firmwares) rogramming, C/C++ is preffered simply because of the flexibility it offers. Now other high end applications these days prefer core Java and Java variants like J2EE. Most of the new projects in my company will be using J2EE, Oracle APPS or Microsoft .NET Technologies.

All in all, atleast as long as application programming is comcerned, world has moved on to Java or Java like languages. (C#.NET...).

In system programming, C and C++ still Rule!
