Programing Language Question

[RobinVossen]

I know that C++ is an advanced version of C.
as I said before I already coded for Quite a While.
I am just looking for the Perfect Language for me

And I do already GUI coding in C++, ncurses, SDL and GTK.

Anywho, I think ill just stay in C++ then.
And Just have to get by my problems.. (I hate beeing dyslectic. But well there are worse things in life..)
And I am going to look to ASM in the mean while with half a eye

Thanks.
Cheers.

Here's the thing. There's really very little benefit to learning tons of languages if you can't remember the syntax / culture of those language. Because that's really all that different languages are: different methods of approaching the same problems. Since you already have a grasp of the problems, your energy is probably better off focused towards new projects, not new languages. For instance: learn how to handle XML, learn aspect-oriented programming, try out new approaches to GUIs, do some web programming, etc.

Assembly is a very cool language because it forces you to learn the very low-level details of what your program eventually becomes. However, there's a good quote out there, that I will paraphrase: "Every great programmer has written exactly one program in Assembly". Because unless you're writing device drivers or a kernel, you're never going to use Assembly. Trust me. I just implemented quicksort in Assembly for a class, and a very simple C program turned into a HUGE mess. Also, there's the fact that each architecture has its own Assembly. Again: knowing the concepts is important, but knowing the specific syntax of each is not.

My best suggestion would be to find a topic or project you want to work on, and then select a language. Once you have some idea of what you want, then you can see the best way to do it.

I already am working on a couple of projects in C++.
I think that my problem just was that I dont have the right librarys, headers, etc.
But I also think that that problem is solved when I install Gentoo (Finaly Still stugling with it for my home pc. I installed already like 10 times for other people.. but my own pc.. just doesnt work.. (DualDisk/NoInet problem)
But thats another story.

Thanks all.
