Where can i find free compilers?

Question

I would like to learn an easy and current computer language for which i can find a free compiler.

Answer 1

Current is actually a very flexible word. Most computer languages are "current". I hear people sneering at Pascal all the time but in fact it is as powerful as any other, has object-oriented extensions and with Units is itself extensible so you can make it as flexible as C or C++. Plus, while an "easy" programming language is a contradiction in terms, it's less concise and cryptic than C or C++.

Answer 2

Many current computer languages are just-in-time compiled. That's true for Ruby, Lua, and Python.

Answer 3

Use the language Java and download the awesome compiler/code editor/if-god-were-a-piece-of-software program Eclipse.

Answer 4

You can get microsoft visual c++ express for free at http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-cpp-express



Those "just in time" compilers aren't really compilers, but rather interpreters.

Answer 5

Try using Python. Should do the trick.
