Which one is the most suitable for programming(c++ and java) windows or mac?

Java is more portable. Use C++ if you need the extra performance.

JavaScript is much easier and there is more support and pre-made scripts available on the internet.





C++ is for professionals and is also very slow.





You might want to try PHP as well, that is very useful.
Reply:I haven't programmed on Macs. But if it is going to be Windows, I'd rather stick with Java and stay far away from using C++ until there is no other choice. Opinion from my recent experience in using VC++ for a project on Windows.
Reply:Java and Windows are more suitbale as people mostly using Windows and Java is paltform independent.
Reply:linux, especially when you want to write C++ code. No other platform has better developer support.
Reply:I'd guess there is a lot more information on Windows programming. More people use Windows, so your program has a bigger target audience. More games are written for Windows. There is more demand for Windows programmers than Mac.





Despite all that, it really makes no difference. It's more a matter of what you want to program than what system it run's on. For example if you needed database access, what system will the database run on?





BTW, C++ is not slow at all. If you were using them for the same tasks it would be much faster than Javascript.
Reply:i have never programmed on a mac, but a very knowledgeable friend of mind has a mac with both windows and mac, and would use windows to program. Xcode (the mac c interface) is not as good of a program as VisualStudio from what i have heard. If you want to learn the intricacies of programming( makefiles, etc) get yourself a linux distro and program with a basic editor( Emacs, Vm) and compile in the terminal using g++.
