Abstract
To write any program, you need to choose a programming language. A programming language lets you define commands for the computer to follow. There's no one "best" programming language because every programming language is meant to solve a specific problem. This means that a certain programming language may be great at solving certain types of problems, but horrible at solving other types of programs.
