Whats more commonly used in programming?

fixed

C++ for sure.

C++ if u can handle it.
If u need a easy but powerful language take c# its very balanced

The language of your choice depends on you and your project (of course you probably won`t go with QBasic...). If you want to make GUI programs for windows the .NET languages are a perfect choice. If you want to do bots then you might consider using AutoIt. For games I`d recommend either C++/DirectX/DarkGDK or C#/XNA.

If you want something really simple and powerful go for VB.NET. If you want a little more flexibility (and a bigger challenge) go for C# or C++.

Assembly > All, ok or no?

I spent a couple months programming in this, great stuff.

C# is a language created by Microsoft which is a implementation of Sun Microsystems Java which runs on the Java Virtual Machine. Now your question is a vexed one to answer because all programming languages have there pros and cons.

C++ is faster, (however these day's only 1.1x faster, which is very little) but you need to look at the broader scope. I program in Java because it is simple to use and powerful. C++ code can often be complex particularly for beginners and programming can be time consuming.

The best advice anyone can give you is experiment with languages and pick one that suits you. My self i settled for C and Java, but everyone is different :)

IMO C#. Java's just not cutting it for me especially since it's open-source now.
JNI is a pain to go through, where as C#, you can directly DLL import.

I'd use C#, or a .NET language, and if you need to go low-level, or need/want more control, use C++

C#

If you want to start coding i would recomment you start With C/C++
If you go with C# its gonna be a Waste of time, sure its easy but hey you learn crap from it. ^^, c++ is harder but its coding Plus more... Read a couple tuts and if your really into it, you will start coding with in 4-5days by your self. Start little like Window Applications then go into .dll files and you will see how easy it is =]

If you go with C# its gonna be a Waste of time Please elaborate., sure its easy but hey you learn crap from it Then why're you complaining, I dont' get it.. ^^, c++ is harder but its coding So in C#, it's coding, whats your point. Plus more Um, cool, abstraction?... Read a couple tuts and if your really into it, you will start coding with in 4-5days by your self. Same thing with C#.Start little like Window Applications then go into .dll files and you will see how easy it is =] Same thing with C#

so there is no need on why you should come down on me saying its Ignorance nor a poor argument.

You're giving a recommendation, based on a poor argument.

I'd love this one explained. You obviously don't use C#, or good, modern coding practices, which the language is built for. C++ is ancient, it doesn't support modern design patterns without an awful lot of fucking about, and it still retains all of it's ugliness, take multiple inheritance as an example.

C# is used massively in the industry, the design patterns you'll learn are what employers want, and some bad coding practices are thrown out before you get chance to learn them.
