Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: BASIC script how to read/write system files, like /dev/null in Linux

Hi :)
What are 'the best' languages to choose?  Python and/or C++? or something else?

I know 'the best' is a bit subject to personal feelings and knowledge and experience but it would 
be interesting to hear people's opinions.  From what i can gather Python and C++ are teh best 
although mainstream seems to rate Java more highly and it appears in job ads more often.  On the 
other hand when jobs ask for C++ the pay-grade is far higher.  I got as far as Speccy Basic, a 
little pascal and some machine code but i think that's all soooo far behind me that i doubt i could 
write much even in those languages now (&machine code was a tfn and only ever worked on the 
specific machine i wrote for (at best)).  
Regards from
Tom :)

You have so many programming languages availlable. Why StarBasic?
StarBasic is the most primitive API-caller. It is almost useless for
anything outside the UNO scope. (Apart from that, it is the worst
implementation of an extinct language).
