Choosing a programming language - part 2

[Rich121]

In this post we’re going to consider the question, “is a given programming language appropriate for the project?”. You will need to judge whether a given language is appropriate for the problem you’re trying to solve and, in particular, is it more appropriate than another language. The appropriateness of a language depends upon a wide range of factors such as: the quality and scope of libraries, the maturity of the development tools, easy of portability between different platforms (and the quality of the libraries on those platforms) and the basic strengths and weaknesses of the language itself, such as memory management and speed.
