As is Visual Basic, which ideally would drop off the face of the earth
into a black hole, pulling in Microsoft with them. ;-) And I think
Visual Basic is starting to vanish.
All of them have their place:
C: simple, primitive, compiled, very light footprint,
custom programming, standard, some compilers and support
libraries open source
C++: moderate footprint, compiled, custom programming,
standard, some compilers and support libraries
open source
Java: complex, rich, compiled, heavy but powerful
footprint, GUI-capable, Web-capable,
Webserver-capable, SQLDB-capable, custom programming,
integrated with lots of other packages such as SOAP,
JMX, and EJB, proprietary but widely available
.NET: complex, rich, compiled, heavy footprint,
GUI-capable, Web-capable, Webserver-capable,
SQLDB-capable, custom programming, integrated with
some other packages such as ADO, SOAP, and XML,
proprietary, freely available (from Microsoft),
may have patent concerns
PHP: moderate, small footprint, Web-capable,
Webserver-capable, SQLDB-capable, custom programming,
open source
Python: moderate, rich API, GUI-capable, Web-capable,
may be Webserver-capable, may be SQLDB-capable,
custom programming, open source
Perl: moderate, rich API, semi-compiled, powerful text
processing, GUI-capable, Web-capable, may
be Webserver-capable, SQLDB-capable, modular
architecture, open source
Tcl/Tk: simple, primitive, light footprint, GUI-capable,
may be Web-capable, SQLDB-capable
Visual Basic: messy, object-oriented, custom programming,
Web-capable, Webserver-capable, SQLDB-capable,
rich API, proprietary
(disclaimer: these are off-the-cuff)
