use the exclamation mark to mark this topic as in the wrong section,

I don't really have a favorite I guess... but I'm not very experienced in programming either..

I really liked Python except for the fact its not compiled (not without jumping through a dozen hoops).
I really like PB but it has been challenging to learn, but I don't mind that.

I'm thinking I need to finally get out these C++ books I have sitting around so I can have a better chance of maybe writing my own wrappers for cool tools I'd like to use from PB.
I don't know if I will ever grow to like it though

I do like vb.net - and I use it a lot (every day at work)

I agree with the Python comment - if it could be compiled easily, it would probably be my favourite coding tool. As it is not, I barely touch it.

That said, all my personal stuff is now coded in PB. There is something more... satisfying about writing a PB program, and sending it on without worrying if they have XXX installed.

C++/C, well, I am more and more tempted by it every day. But I dislike the syntax. Maybe I should write an OOP Basic converter to C++ that can use all the C++ libraries...
But I'd probably write it in PB, get frustrated with C++ syntax and give up on it...

As for tools:
Notepad++
KDiff3 (probably the best windows Diff tool)
Dropbox (backup & versioning automatically done)

Ups wrong topic...

PureBasic

SciTE Text Editor
Python + wxPython, wxGlade for GUIs and usuals suspects: Tortoise SVN, ...

Lazarus (Delphi-Like IDE, ObjectPascal as programming language)

For those who also like Python:
there's Boo for the .NET and Mono Frameworks, which looks and feels like Python, but statically typed & compiled to IL-Code.
Also, there's Genie for Linxu and the GObject system. It also works on W32, but is Linux/Unix centric. Also feels like Python but statically typed and compiled as well.

Wouldn't it be weird to give people programs that need both python installed and mono or .net framework ?

They don't.
Boo is a "Python-like" language in terms of syntax, semantics and behaviour. Like D is C/C++, Java like, but different though.
But Boo does only require .NET Framework, as VB.net and C# does.

Genie does only require GObject, which afaik is a C-lib and can be compiled to a plain-C-binary without any dependencies (if you're not using SDL or GTK of course).

Oh never mind...
