I have to do a project in a new language for college and have to use libraries etc...(at least that's how i understood the describtion of the subject) , so my question is what language should i use? i'm leaning toward C# so that i'll have some experience with it incase the companies i'll work for later use C#

is there another language i should seriously consider exploring?

not sure if i'll actually have to do this thing but i'm 60% sure of it so yh

short: interesting language to use in combination with libraries?
can't be:
android
java
java EE

Android is not a language. It's a system.
Java and Java EE are 2 same things.

Go to Delphi. That should be interesting for ya.

Or better yet - lolcode.

C? C++? Why specific MS version like C#?

haskell, scala, lisp, prolog, fortran? Just throwing names out there, none of these look like java(or most languages I know).

Don't code any nor know exactly what you need. As for something practical, I'd go with C/asm, maybe a scripting language.

well it counds as different because it's not like normal java code

and in coding there's also a difference between java and java ee even though it's small.
but thanks i'll look into delphi for a bit after these exams are over

@caos
well i think C# is more used than C or C++ but if i'm wrong it could be any of the C's

@xzid

Out of those 3, I would assume C is the most used. not 100% sure, but kernels(including modules), embedded devices, all of UNIX, most of Windows... yeah it used alot.

If you want to learn a Scripting language Python or Ruby are easy to learn,because they have a very simple syntax.

The teacher made the choice for us

HTML5 + JS
We have to make an app for some boat company that shows with some nice visuals how the balance and balast of the boat is. still thanks though
