Comparative study of the Pros and Cons of Programming languages Java, Scala, C++, Haskell, VB .NET, AspectJ, Perl, Ruby, PHP & Scheme - a Team 11 COMP6411-S10 Term Report

TL;DR

This paper compares several mainstream programming languages, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses across core development issues to help developers choose the most suitable language for specific tasks.

Contribution

It provides a comparative analysis of popular programming languages focusing on their advantages and disadvantages in various development scenarios.

Findings

Java and C++ excel in performance-critical applications.

Ruby and PHP are more suitable for web development.

Haskell and Scheme offer unique functional programming benefits.

Abstract

With the advent of numerous languages it is difficult to realize the edge of one language in a particular scope over another one. We are making an effort, realizing these few issues and comparing some main stream languages like Java, Scala, C++, Haskell, VB .NET, AspectJ, Perl, Ruby, PHP and Scheme keeping in mind some core issues in program development.
