So I’m a professional C/C++ programmer. I’m interested in writing some web apps on the side for fun using Google App Engine. That seems to require learning Java, Python, or something called Go.
Anyone have any words of advice, either concerning which of those is best integrated into GAE, which is easiest to learn coming from a C background, etc?
thanks
Java is probably the closest language to C++, but that’s not necessarily a good thing–you can find that you assume it’s much closer than it is, and that gets you in trouble. Python is by far the most pleasant language I’ve ever worked in, and I definitely recommend if you want to try something where you don’t have to fight with the syntax all the time.
