Yeah, I'm sure you would rather program in assembly than in, say, C++.

Yeah id like to see that guy do some oop in assembly 🙂 Sure assembly is easy when it boils down to loads stores and adds...but when you need to do more then a intro to assembly homework assignment...good luck.
 
This thread is stupid. It has no point. Seriously, what difference does it make which one is "harder"? What do you even mean by "harder"? Harder to do what with?
 
Really depends on what you're doing.

Prolog, LISP, CLIPS, Haskel, Ada can all be difficult but they can also be very powerful.
 
Of the ones you listed, I'd call C++ the "hardest" simply because it doesn't do a lot of things for you like the others do (i.e. garbage collection).
 
And regarding which certificate you should get, I think C# or Java will take you farther than VB or C++. And if you know C#, you basically know VB.NET.

I actually enjoy programming in Assembly, it's fun.

Now something like Haskell, Scheme, or LISP.... UGH.

Out of all the programming i have ever done, Assembly has been my favorite.

Choose the right tool for the job. Why on earth would you use an OOP approach to a job that required assembly?

I though Ada was quite easy for the school project I had to do.

I totally agree on LISP - man, what a PITA.

Lisp is pretty different, Visual C++ is not very hard as such but its a pain in the @ss to undersatnd the MFC framework, I use C++/c/linux, best combo

as much as i love it mfc is dead. 🙁
C++.net is now just like VB... Build form... write code.

I really miss mfc 7.0

I probably wouldn't think it's difficult now, but as college students who mostly had experience with C++ and Java the syntax was frustrating. I actually do a lot of my programming in PL/SQL now, which is based largely on Ada.

Now CLIPS, that was a language I really enjoyed, but most of my classmates loathed.
 
I absolutely hated Scheme. All those stupid parenthesis drove me nuts. We would spend more time trying to match up mismatched parenthesis than we did actually thinking about how to write our program.

I suppose "harder" means "m0r3 l337z0r lol."

no you don't. Just learn C, C++, or C#.

we use a software distribution application that is java centric, it can run other things, but java packages work best with it

The parenthesis are not that big of a deal. I liked Scheme.

A good text editor will help you match up parenthesis, braces, and brackets.
