What would be the best programming language that uses the systems hardware resources for pulling information and sending information from a graphical environment in the fastest way possible.

x86 Assembly

Whew, and I thought this would be a controversial topic.

"from a graphical environment"? Can you elaborate?

You'll probably want C, it's low level and you can make direct hardware calls from it.  Or, if it's necessary, you can add inline assembler. 

I don't quite understand why RaBBiT suggests x86, though.  Use whichever assembler is native to your CPU.

C, with a bit of assembler.

Hopefully, they all mean C++ :)

Why have the extra (and, might I add, pointless) design considerations of classes to a simple hardware interface problem?

Because, imho, a well-designed OO program is more maintainable, more extensible, and more reusable than its procedural counterpart. Note that I said well-designed - which is hard. I think this applies to all but the most trivial of programs.

Also, since is C++ a superset of C, it will let you do everything as you would otherwise have done it in C, but with the added benefit of better type safety and other useful language features. It's not just classes.

Since C++ is 'C' '++', you may as well use it, just in case you want the '++' later :)

I meant to be able to grab certain information from a multimedia image and then send the info that was attained very quickly.

A switch, for tapping out the binary yourself.

Then yeah, C, possibly mixed with assembly, is your best bet.

Or C++ -- Arta, if you want to argue the point further about C vs. C++, let's use another topic.  But I don't care enough to start one, so eh?  I like C better, and I will continue to like C better.

Because he doesn't know enough about ASM to understand what he's saying.  :P

or because he made an assumption based on a commonly used processor by people on this forum.

Which is what I was getting at in a different way.  :p

[/quote]It seems like your views on this subject have changed since I last lurked. I always pegged you as a n advocate of procedural programming. :)

a friend of mine told me that Delphi is a better language than C or C++ :P. he also told me it's a real language although i dont know why he said that :P.

I'm pretty well certain the vast majority have heard/know me whether I'm known to you as a complete nuisance, a random person to take more space up, or as a friend.  Regardless, I will just post a few things about myself:

Brief Summary:
I am 14 years old and live in Redding, CA, and I attend High School as a Freshmen.  I help make projects and Websites for a medium-sized incorporated business in the Redding area called Insignia under the supervision of the founder of the company, my Dad's friend, Steve Kinyon.
