Question: Which is your favourite programming language?

James M Monk answered on 14 Jun 2011:

I’m not sure I have a favourite, but most of the time I use C++, so that is what I am most familiar with. To be honest, C++ is not necessarily the best choice because it has some issues with memory management that similar languages like Java don’t have, but for historical reasons a lot of the code in Physics is C++ (and C++ tends to be faster)
