I want to know the best language for web development, game design, computer app design, and mobile app design.

There is no one that will do all of them, web development you will need to learn HTML, CSS and PHP, game and computer app design I'd say C++ and for mobile app design it depends on the mobile (for example apple have their own programming language for apps) called xcode.

There isn't a single, best language for all applications. That is why there are so many languages. Web development strongly prefers Javascript. The rest are not so particular. I think that Java is overall the best language, but it is an acquired taste, and proficiency is a pre-requisite. Java certainly isn't the easiest to language to learn, but most computers, web browsers and Android phones support Java. Java helps with a lot of secondary programming considerations, such as readability, reliability, testability and (consequently) re-usability and maintainability in ways that many other languages don't adequately address.



All the "procedural/imperative" languages like Java, Javascript, Python, Tcl, PERL, C, C++ and C# are equivalent in many respects (e.g. they are all are "Turing-complete"), and all quite useful. The "functional" programming languages like Lisp, Smalltalk, Caml, Haskell and Scheme (among many others) support certain applications that are not well served by procedural languages, such as massively-parallel processor-based platforms.

any programming language is capable of doing what all you asked. yeah , its not guess work. its true.



what makes a programming language resourceful, of course , its library files. a programming language's power relies on how robust is its library. none of the creators of the programming language completely added all functionalities to it. instead they left the opportunities and resources that can make a programming language to evolve its beyond. thats why there are different compilers for same programming language. individuals creates and releases the header files (c,c++), packages (java) to make the programming language robust.



choosing a programming language depends on the programmer, and platform. every programming language is used to write server side coding in web development. CGI is the component that allows this. a code written in c++ and c will run fast and size is small too. neither java nor Python (as it boasts) doesn't do that.





for the one who written python as the best : python can code long program in to small set of code. but it uses heavy library to achieve this. understand that. calling a built in sort function is easy and its get sorted. but to call a sort() there should be library that defines a function , where the sort code is written.





and understand. all these programming languages are just a language, the compiler is the thing that understand and optimizes what you are written over there. a compiler is also developed by a programming language and compiler. now think. what a programming language is not capable of.



python is also developed using a programming language. which ????

The answer to your question is "It depends on what you are needing to do". Generally PHP and Javascript work for server and client side scripting. Game design will mostly likely be C/C++. Computer application - all depends on what your application does. Mobile apps, depends on your target platform. Jave for Android devices, Objective C for Apple devices.

There is no better language than PYTHON.It is very simple but very strong.It's scopes go into web designing,database etc..For a program written in C/C++ that has 1000 lines python can do it in less than 100 lines.If you ask a python programmer to use JAVA for a project,It's like asking a ferrari driver to travel in a bicycle..



Yepp there is no language that covers everything.But PYTHON is the closest one we got as a complete programming language..

they overlap and there is no best language for anything they all have pros and cons, the only thing i would bet on for sure is that the best mobile environment and cross platform language would be java
