My favorite programming language would have to be other.  Very powerful language it is indeed.  ;D

php and cgi and javascript arent really programming languages. They are web languages.

Oops, missed assembly.  It's added now :)

It doesn't matter.  I never actually SAID cgi, but I've argued before that if php and perl don't count as real languages, neither does vb.

You should put Delphi and other variants of Pascal up there.

You'd be wrong.

Well, it's interpreted..

It doesn't matter, though! :P

I consider scripting languages as languages without your average data structures already implemented, which means VB is a scripting language.

Well, javascript has data structures, so your definition must be wrong! :P

Hashtable? B-tree?

Okay so Assembler isn't a programming language?
You can get into a huge debate, arguing whether languages are 'scripting', 'programming', 'interpreted' etc. But it's just stupid semantics.

It's like saying that Chinese isn't a language because it uses different letters and grammar constructs.  In the end, they are all languages, just with different properties and whatnot.


And yes, you can you B-Trees and stuff like that in assembly, it's just a lot more difficult.  You can also use them in VB, I'm sure, it would just be difficult :P
