Where are you coming from for such a harsh comment? I teach C++, perl, and assembly language for my company employees. I have an M.S. in computer science. I have programmed in Java [being the project lead for an industrial grade J2EE transaction manager for several years] and have debugged Python code. I thought the poster was headed down the right track.
However, I didn’t hear anything about graphical requirements for the application. That certainly should be considered.
I thought it was a little overly broad to ask which computer software language was best, as a topic for discussion in a FR post
It’s like posting a question to all of us like “which of our children is prettiest” (hint: mine are)
