Thinking about starting to mess around with other languages besides Java, so list what languages you program and the best compiler for it.

12/26/2010 6:55:07 PM

I'm a big Eclipse fan - not because it's the 'best' but because I can use it on everything from a tablet to a phone to a linux and windows box. I'm in PHP, Java and now Flex most of the time.

12/26/2010 7:01:19 PM

Are you looking for IDEs or compilers?

12/26/2010 7:25:10 PM

there's no way he means compilers

12/26/2010 7:28:57 PM

wow, I thought bbehe was a girl all these years. Sorry dude!

12/26/2010 8:04:41 PM

gah, yeah, I meant IDEs

I blame lack of sleep and it being late.

12/26/2010 8:25:26 PM

Well AFAIK he could have meant compilers too, like for Java we have javac from the Oracle JDK, gcj from GCC, and some others, while for C++ we have g++ from GCC, cl from the Windows SDK, LLVM, and some others.

12/26/2010 8:42:28 PM

vi

but really, i use eclipse + various plugins for about everything. i'm usually either writing java or php/perl/shell scripts.

12/26/2010 11:08:46 PM

java -> eclipse
c# -> vs

all other languages are irrelevent

If its supported in VS2010, use that, if not, use eclipse. /thread.

VS2010 makes all other IDEs look like a middle schooler wrote them.

12/27/2010 8:05:57 AM

Yeah, I have to admit that I find myself liking VS2010 a lot despite how dirty it feels to run it in a parallels VM in coherence mode

Xcode is still my favorite, though... But only because I'm most used to it (not to mention most of my dev work is OSX/iOS-centric these days).

Eclipse blows harder than a Peruvian crackwhore.

12/27/2010 8:48:38 AM

The best thing about Peruvian whores is they don't have to get on their knees.

Xcode 3 and GCC ftw

At a career fair once, I was asked about my favorite IDE. It was early in my college career and I couldn't place the acronym, so I assumed IDE==programming language.

For the next 30 seconds, I imagine the guy talking to me was trying his hardest not to start laughing his ass off.

12/27/2010 10:31:42 AM

lol

12/27/2010 10:42:08 AM

^ its really not that funny though. all the acronyms and special terms in comp sci are really confusing at first. anyone who laughs at someone for being a n00b probably has a small penis or is still a virgin or both.

12/27/2010 10:44:08 AM

oops raiden you ninjad me. i wasn't saying you have a small penis

12/27/2010 10:45:01 AM

eclipse was ok for java.

dreamweaver is fun for php.

SQLyog for messing with mysql things.

12/27/2010 10:47:37 AM

admittedly it's been a long time since i've used it

but I can't see using Dreamweaver for anything being fun


my favorite IDE of all time

qntmfred, have you actually used Turbo C++ 3.0? And did you pay for it?

12/27/2010 11:48:23 AM

VS for anything supported
I've used Eclipse for Java but have some major problems with it.
XCode for iOS (as if you have a choice), but also for C/C++.

12/27/2010 11:48:36 AM

Frosh, I used it extensively between 1997-2000. And yes, the textbook I bought to use in my Computer Programming I and II classes in high school came with a copy, on floppy disk

I prefer gcc.

Xcode gets my vote for c, c++, objc, eclipse for java, terminal for anything else.

12/28/2010 5:36:57 AM

borland turbo c++ was what i used in high school and the help files that came with it were fucking money

12/28/2010 7:46:49 PM

Borland C++ 5.5 is available for free, and it's recommended for Windows 2000 and earlier (because later versions of Windows natively use Unicode UTF-16 rather than Windows-1252, a.k.a. "ANSI"): http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/20633

Has anybody else used XCode 4 yet? Holy shit I hate it. They completely changed the UX, layout of everything, the menus, everything. It looks like fucking iTunes. And the project I'm working now now has one warning, 34 errors, but still compiles and runs? What?

3/18/2011 2:44:54 PM

all my dev buddies have also been complaining about Xcode4

3/18/2011 7:26:55 PM

There's an abundance of posts on Stack Overflow in the past week that basically amount to "what did I do to deserve XCode 4?"

3/20/2011 11:27:37 AM

Haha, I'm starting to get used to Xcode 4 but it is frustrating that they moved everything around, changed all the fucking shortcuts, and made it slower. I do like some of the ancient IDE features they finally brought to Xcode, better autocomplete, closing my {}, and slightly better svn integration.

3/21/2011 7:58:50 PM

I still use Zend Studio 5.5 for PHP. I wish they hadn't trashed it and moved to the Eclipse-based ZDEs.
