I definitely would have to say Visual Basic 2009 it's got a flawlessly user-friendly rhythm to it that makes you want to cry sing and you can make visual elements easily unlike html (or any other language) which is a piece of shittake anyway did I mention you can make a button that does something in less than 5 minutes???.

RE: syntaxwise, what is the best programming language?
my biggest problem with python is the lack of switch statements and that's not the biggest deal

some people complain about whitespace but it's a lot better than curly bracket nesting hell, imo

also ffffuck whatever the hell visualbasic is. is it really necessary to declare variables like DIM X AS INTEGER = 3 instead of, i don't know, int x = 3 or simply x = 3? just all-around a weird, verbose language, i don't like it at all

c++ is my favorite language that isn't python, but if you prefer the syntax of c++ over python, you're just more used to it. python is easily the most readable language, and even with its limitations (c++ is definitely functionally better) it's an absolute joy to write in, imo

also also if anyone here prefers java over c++, please explain yourself

i wrote console programs in visualbasic for a class (i don't like messing with ui design because of Perfectionism, i spend a lot of time lining up buttons and rearranging them and it takes up more time than coding and just, stresses me the heck out)

(and then the actual coding side of visualbasic is sooo verboooose like why are you making me type out all these extra wordsss (though most of what i take issue with is the way variables are declared in it))

RE: syntaxwise, what is the best programming language?
honestly I'm not very qualified for this thread because I only know 2 languages well, and dabble in a whole bunch of useless languages like quick basic (actually dabble is a strong word for it, seeing as that was more then 7 years ago and I remember basically nothing)

I really only know html/javascript because I love making games and I was told it would be the easiest way to make a game online

also: I took a highschool course on "programming" but it was actually Visual Basic Hell 10/10 would get 97% and die of boredom again

python is honestly the language that schools should teach to introduce people to programming. it doesn't give you all the same options as a language like c++ (no pointers, no switch statements- though there are weird alternatives to switch statements in python that i don't really get?), and it isn't really powerful enough to run a decent game engine in, but it has really simple syntax that's very quick and easy to learn. it's a good gateway to other languages (and.. it's perfectly valid to use for anything that isn't super intensive)

i really enjoy writing in it, the class i took for it was a couple of semesters ago and i still use it just for fun

heres a map generator i made in python, please judge softly

Code:
from Tkinter import *
from random import randint

def buildIsland(xStart, yStart, landCounter, blobbiness):
    global mapArray
    
    mapArray[xStart][yStart] = "green"
    while landCounter >= 0:
        xCoord = xStart
        yCoord = yStart
        
        while(mapArray[xCoord][yCoord] == "green"):
            if xCoord >= 1 and xCoord <= 299:
                xCoord += randint(0,2) - 1
            elif xCoord >= 1:
                xCoord -= 1
            elif xCoord <= 299:
                xCoord += 1
            if yCoord >= 1 and yCoord <= 299:
                yCoord += randint(0,2) - 1
            elif yCoord >= 1:
                yCoord -= 1
            elif yCoord <= 299:
                yCoord += 1
            
        mapArray[xCoord][yCoord] = "green"    
        landCounter -= 1

        if randint(0,blobbiness) == 1:
            xStart = xCoord
            yStart = yCoord

master = Tk()

xCoord = 150
yCoord = 150

canvasWidth = 300
canvasHeight = 300

xCounter = 0
yCounter = 0

zoomLevel = 1

mapArray = [["blue" for x in range(canvasWidth + 1)] for y in range(canvasHeight + 1)]

#Build islands
for x in range(0,50):
    buildIsland(randint(0,300),randint(0,300),randint(150,2000),1)

#Set up canvas
drawMap = Canvas(master, width = canvasWidth * zoomLevel, height = canvasHeight * zoomLevel)
drawMap.pack()

#Draw map
while(yCounter <= canvasHeight):
    while(xCounter <= canvasWidth):
        drawMap.create_rectangle(xCounter * zoomLevel, yCounter * zoomLevel, (xCounter * zoomLevel)+ zoomLevel,
                                (yCounter * zoomLevel) + zoomLevel, fill=mapArray[xCounter][yCounter],
                                 outline=mapArray[xCounter][yCounter])
        xCounter += 1
        
    xCounter = 0
    yCounter += 1
