That's just like, your opinion, man

I think C++ is the best procedural, 'high level', statically typed language out there. I also happen to think it's the best portable 'low level' language out there. What would your recommendation be to go alongside C?

I agree. I have touched Java, C#, Clean, very little of Haskell, VB.net, PHP (currently main one). I did some small scripts in python, and only read about scala, but haven't really touched it yet.

I recently (about 2 years ago) started writing, on and off, a new IDE for Clean in C++ with Qt. No complaints. I somehow like it better than C# with all its drag and drop capabilites (yes Qt has that also). However, somehow I like Qts way of doing it better...Don't know what I wanted to say with all this, I just prefer C++ and would choose it for applications. Unless demanded otherwise.
