What is the most fast programming language and why is it so fast?

Answer 1

processing speed :
ASM > C > C++
(C is the faster generic language)

programming speed :
I would say python or C# with Unity (depending on the size of the app)

@Zaxenbromer explained why

Answer 2

@kurwius, I agree with that but I thought you meant something else as you spoke about the quality of the algorithm and the developer and as @Zaxenbromer already explained that fact
My bad

Answer 3

@kurwius, I think he/she means for the same program :) (with the same quality)

Answer 4

if u are referring to computational speed programs that just only require a compiler will be faster than those requiring an interpreter.... for instance code written in Java is expected to run faster than same code written in python
. the basic reason is that If you look at those programs like Java their syntax already shows lots of resemblance to machine oriented language and thus the small program (the compiler) that does the decoding does little work in transforming the programming language to binary(low level language). on the other hand languages like python than need the Interpreter where actually made to suit us humans so that we can easily write these codes and execute them on our computers, this makes it difficult for the computer to read hence the need for an interpreter to intervene.....thats why python's syntax is easier than Java's syntax for a human being .

Answer 5

you make fast like processing speed or fast it takes to learn it Orr..?

Answer 6

I'm sure by speed you mean performance.
Higher is faster:
1. Machine lang (Assambly)
2. Native Compilable (C, C++)
3. JVM based compilable (Java, Kotlin, Groovy, Scala)
4. Scriptings (Python, php)
