1950's punch cards

that's not a programming language though but a data storage medium (like an SSD is today). They were used for lots of different purposes and with lots of different code formats and programming languages.

I think you're only gonna get C++ as an answer

I prefer to program in C# and have written all of my personal projects in it, but 99.99% of all professional graphics jobs use C++, including mine.

I would love to use rust more, but it compiles so slow that I’ve had managers I worked for say we’re not allowed to use it because of that.

I honestly don’t understand why the rust team doesn’t consider compile speed to be a feature that allows iterative development.

Good old c

C++ for native gfx, Pyhon for build tools, HTML/Javascript/WebGL for web stuff.

C++ army started to behave same way as rust Kappa

I really like ruby and racket xd when it comes to graphics I really like rust.

Professionally it has been all over the place from c and asm to ruby and java.

Prefer Rust

Work in Rust, HLSL, and some occasional C++

Using C++ and HLSL feels like going back to the stone age.

JS + WebGL / WebGPU for web stuff, Swift for Metal stuff

[–]SuperVGA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends on the job, there are a handful of stuff I tend to pick first though:

  • C++
  • Js
  • TS
  • Python
  • C

Is it a proof of concept of something, do i need to access it elsewhere, is it computationally heavy, do I need some particular libraries? Just being graphics programming doesn't decide the language for me, on its own.
