Which programming language is better?

[Nathan_technado]

Hi forum. Over the Sean blocks code has proven ineffective when programming customized bots so me and my team are switching to text code. We are familiar with both python and C++. I want to know i there is a better language that vex is compatible with and if not which one is better a for what.

Best coding language for V5

Hey guys, first post here! My school robotics team wants to code our robot for next year, and most of us except me are coding for the first time. We were wondering what is the best coding language for V5 and if we should use the VEXCode studio. I was leaning towards using C++, due to it’s high performance, and I can put in the work to learn it. Please tell me if I made any formatting mistakes, and please tell us if you have any suggestions for us! Thanks again!

I have to ask which is better Python or C++

I am still fairly new to coding but I am wondering which is better, python looks easier to write but is C++ better? Which would you recommend?

Is it better to code in C++, or python

I’m more proficient in python and iḿ wondering would it be better to learn c++ to code the bot or should I just use python since iḿ more proficient in it. I Feel like i could code it in python but if it would be better to code it in C++ i will.

Between Python and C++, which is better for programming for VRC?

I used python last year because it is the language I was most familiar with. This year I have transitioned into c++ because it will be a good challenge and learning experience. If you use c++, you are also able to use pros as well as other libraries and templates. Overall, it’s just whatever you want to do.

I personally would recommend C++ simply because it is the more commonly used language so support and resources are easier to come across. Python has come a long way in the past couple of years and now that it multithreading support like C++. Whatever language you choose make sure you choose the right compiler for you. V5code is by far the easiest to use but using the VSC extension will give you the most versatility.
