It isn't.
Well... it depends what you are programming. Never Java though

Because you have holes in your brain
The best programming language depends on what it is you're trying to do.
Python is good for science.
C/C++ is good for systems programming
Java/JavaScript is used for server/client webdev
Swift/Android is used for mobile development
Or, you could just be a hipster and use Rust for everything.
Lisp, Perl, or Pascal just for the pretentious, 1980s bearded silicon valley hipster credibility
British English and the language of mathematics.
>Swift/Android
you mean Swift/Java, Android runs Java because poojeets in google programmed it for an indian/3rd world target audience
math is not a programming language unless you believe reality is a simulation, which I guess it could actually be
if it is possible to simulate reality, it is infinitely close to 100% probable that our own reality is itself a simulation
Not always. Lisp is the language of SICP. I'm in my thirties, I know people who had to use Pascal in a university because of the old teachers who use Pascal as a toy language. Lot of old-school sysadmins use Perl, nowadays it's replaced by Python.
Elon Musk himself believes it's highly likely so who am I to argue with that I suppose.
java
Math is more than that. A programming language is a syntactic sugar for the typed lambda calculus, set theory, propositional logic, relational algebra, etc.
It's the best language for brainlets.

You just proved his point
spotted the poo
What's so bad about Python?
How many of them your mom takes in a night
I never heard from them that they considered those languages the best or a some cool retro thing.
looks like summer vacation has begun
good thing your mom's bedroom is a year round destination
that doesn't even make any sense
C++. How is this even a question in the first place?
/thread
C++ still sucks, but we have nothing better
Cobol. Duh
Agda
Lua
Ruby
WT, CppCMS, TBTNet, CSP, Snap, FFead, TreeFrog, Poco, Silicon, Proxygen
End youself, fucking illiterate faggot
C++ doesn't suck and C# and Rust are good languages too
I love Python, but I only use it when it's a reasonable choice (for example, I'm doing stuff with Selenium and Python at work)
user is not a faggot.
