Fast language for problem solving? [closed]
- by Friend of Kim
I learned PHP to make websites. After some years I've started using programming for solving what is difficult tasks for my level. Now I want to make a program that solves equations. (I want to write it myself, not use an API. Because I'm doing this for the sake of the challenge, not for the result..)
Because of this, I'm going to learn a new and faster/better language. It's going to be C++, Java, Python or C#.
What are the benefits of each language, and which language is best for speed compared to speed of writing and readability?
Using C would be lightning fast, but the lack of OO is making for more complex code and reduces the readability, for example..
