Can Python.....
I am looking for advice on a language. Before you think this is a general noob question, let me finish. I am not looking for advice on "which" language to learn. Just general capabilities......
I have finished building a AD-AHRS. An Air/Data- Altitude Heading Reference System, which is a device used to measure changes in Altitude and heading by using accelerometers, gyros, and interfaced GPS.
I am looking to learn a language which can implement this into a Graphical Display (HUD), by interfacing with the hardware and outputing the graphics to a screen. The Graphics can be very very simple or more advanced using OpenGL (3D terrain mapping, etc).
I am in no rush here so I am not looking at learning a language in 1 month to implement my design. I have been looking at Python and it seems like a very simple language to learn.
I am just wondering about the abilities of the language and whether or not Python would be a good fit for this or not. I only mention my project because after reading a hundred forums, everyone always asks about which language to learn. Afterwhich most everybody replies "it depend on what you want to do...."
Would I be better with a compiled language or will an interpreted language be fine. Again, this isn't a very advanced display, just simple dipslays on the screen showing the data output from the AD-AHRS.
I appreciate all of your input. Thanks for the help!
Jim
