Programming Language Best For Linux?

[MadPrgmr]

Every language has its purpose. In my opinion, a C/C++ core tied into a higher-level language like LUA, Python, or even Java is probably the best way to go for Tibia programming.
A C/C++ core is arguably best because a lot of the "chores" typically associated with this line of work can be done most efficiently (in terms of both programmer and execution time) with it (assuming your code is designed correctly). However, it is not the best choice for implementing the higher level functionality required for bots, thus my recommendation.

I typically advocate using pure Java because 1) I do all my stuff at the protocol level and 2) it runs on virtually anything without having to recompile it or put out multiple distributions, thus simplifying deployment.
However, since most people wish to interface with the client directly, a pure-Java approach will not work.

I think that u can make a very good bot for tibia using GLADE for GUI and working in C++ or Python (remember that glade create a GUI in a xml file, and you can use C++/Python/Other to use it)

C++ core with scripts in LUA, eventually optimized with assembler. I use g++ and FASM assembler.

The C that comes with Linux is the GNU C Compiler, gcc. Don't be fooled by the commercial vendors (and their flashy advertisements) into thinking gcc is anything but capable.when would you decide to buy a commercial C compiler, especially when gcc comes bundled with Linux? Well, with all the support available for gcc, paying for your compiler can be hard to justify.

c++ it also supports for using Qt
