Cerulean: I too was planning to learn C++, but now that you mentioned Python, I have a few questions...
Which is more popular? Which is more powerful? Which is easier to pick up? Regards, Yuneek

2. I'd have to say C++ also. But I truly don't know the full capabilities of Python. 3. Python, definitely. Very easy to pick up, unlike C++ which can be a bit cryptic. Plus Python's a smaller language, so obviously there's less to have to pick up.

No, thank you. I just talked myself into focusing on Python, instead of debating between C/C++/C#. What the hell. *Dives headfirst into Python docs*

2. Well, depends on how you mean. If, by power, you mean raw access to the os and the like, then i'd have to say C++. On the other hand i'd say Python gives you more power. My personal favourite is the downloading of a webpage, using nothing but the standard Python library: import urllib
webpage = urllib.urlopen("http://foo.com/index.htm").read()3. Python, without a shadow of a doubt. |

oh by the way, I say if you like to be able to do stuff in 2 lines, learn C#. The .net framework gives a lot of these Python advantages.

uman:
That doesn't store the data in a variable. You'd have to the data from the file. The urllib and urllib2 modules have many more advanced capabilities utilised just as easily. And seriously, on how many platforms is it feasible to consider wget as a default there? Any example of these C# two-liners? Just creating a class with an empty Main function is 4 lines  |
