As I write code from now on, I plan to first lay out everything in beautiful, readable pseudocode and then implement the program around that structure.
If I rank the languages that I currently know from easiest to most difficult to translate, I'd say:
Lisp, Python, Lua, C++, Java, C
I know that each language has its strength and weaknesses but I'm focusing specifically on pseudocode. What language do you use that is best suited for pseudocode-to-code? I always enjoy picking up new languages. Also, if you currently use this technique, I'd love to hear any tips you have about structuring practical pseudocode.
Note: I feel this is subjective but has a clear answer per individual preference. I'm asking this here because the SO community has a very wide audience and is likely to suggest languages and techniques that I would otherwise not encounter.
