I prefer AI languages like Lisp and Prolog.▼ == Lisp == ▲I am an artificial intelligence specialist. Lisp is my favorite programming language because of its consistent syntax and its functional programming, meta-programming, and procedural programming capabilities. To top it all off, Lisp is the dominant language for AI, my specific area of interest. ~~== Scripting Languages ==~~ I used to use scripting languages like JavaScript, Ruby, PHP, Python, Perl 5, Lua, and Smalltalk, however, I no longer do, as I have come to value functional programming, static typing, and immutability too much. ~~== VM Languages ==~~ I also rarely use the C# and Java. They are heavily patented and too tied into their respective corporations: Microsoft and Oracle. Although Java has opened up recently and C# has opened up with Mono, this hasn't made the problem go away. On the technical side of things, these languages are too tied into OOP and they lack decent support for functional programming features. For example, in Java you need to create a class or an interface before you can even create a function. ~~== Systems Languages ==~~ In the area of systems language, I prefer D because has strong support for functional programming with lambdas, recursion, higher order functions, static typing, const-correctness, immutable, and my personal favorite the pure modifier. Although D is a much nicer language, I usually end up using C++ 99% of the time because it is so ubiquitous. ~~== Obscure Languages ==~~ ~~I have a passing interest in a variety of obscure languages like Perl 6, Haskell, Erlang, Prolog, and Scheme.~~ == Text-based languages == ~~I can't really use these languages for large open source projects because not enough people know them, they don't have any good implementations, or some other serious problem.~~ I used to use various text-based languages such as C++, JavaScript, PHP, and Perl, however, after using Lisp for a while I can no longer stand them. Even when I use things like Prolog and data formats like CSS and XML, I just embed them in Lisp. Now all I use Lisp. == ~~Perl~~Lisp ~~6 Wikia~~Machines == Unfortunately, I no longer have a working Lisp machine, so I am stuck using the crappy existing operating systems. When I write code for an OS, I want that OS to have features such as a persistent single address space, introspection, logging, and reflectivity. As it is I have to spend a huge chunk of my time handling poor operating system design. ~~I have spent a lot of time building perl6.wikia.com and the examples on that site:~~ It also just so happens that mainstream operating systems are programmed in crappy languages such as C, which I won't dare touch, so I can't hack on them either. ~~http://perl6.wikia.com~~ The only solution that I see is to work to reconstruct the glory of the Lisp machines on modern hardware. ~~http://github.com/jhuni/perl6-general-examples~~
