Not in Java/C#/Ruby.

Speaking of C#. Yes.

[edon1337]

C# employs automatic memory management, which frees developers from manually allocating and freeing the memory occupied by objects. Automatic memory management policies are implemented by a garbage collector.

.NET provides a lot of features for cleaning memory safely, but these won't help you in case you don't know how, when and where to use memory. In other words you need to not colonize your memory with useless stuff.

You can use JavaScript anywhere today - site front-end, back-end, PC applications, mobile applications...

Well, even with VM you can still learn some tricks to pool memory and take bigger advantage of the GC.

JS is a pure clusterfuck with everyone making their own frameworks/libraries trying to fill various design holes, and sometimes purposedly overengineering stuff to sell more books (lol). Long past the original purpose of "small dirty scripts"... At least TypeScript takes a more sane approach for development, npm is good shit.

It all depends on what you do or want to do. The most fun I’ve had was when using JavaScript in so many different applications, it might not be the right choice for you. I wish I knew more CSS because it can remove a lot of JavaScript and still reach the same result.

I’m not a professional programmer of any kind. I’m a hobbyist. I don’t think about what programming languages will be good for me in the future. I start a project and learn along the way as I Google throughout. Sometimes I’ve given up (Java for Android). But I still learn a lot along the way.

In the end, anything you learn will help you learn other things more easily. And it helps if you have one language where you have a deeper knowledge. PAWN helped me understand memory, pointers, bits, bytes and strings in it’s simplified way of doing these things. This is the most valuable experience I have whenever I use any other programming language.

Surprised how no one's favorite language is F#, a super powerful language. Same applies to Fortran and Pascal.

C#...F#..are we talking about notes :/

[thEsp]

What makes you say that? C# is one of the most reliable language. F# is another great .NET sub-product used mostly to create drivers and advanced scientist calculations. Both are Windows specific but there are some frameworks which extend their compatibility to other architectures.
