We're trying to script a CAD program, and this is the example for controlling the date in our design slugs, but I don't even know what language it is to know what to do with it.
! LIBEDATE
def &d$ &ret$
set &d$ = rstr(`/`,` `,#d$);
set &ret$ = word(&d$,2),`/`,word(&d$,1),`/`,subs(word(&d$,3), -2, 2)
What CAD is it? Almost all the ancient CADs have their own (typically weird and ill-designed) scripting languages. Can it be one of the Tribon products?
It might be AutoCAD Lisp
I thought it might be Tcl, but I don't any more... sorry (and thanks Johannes).
Looks like it might be some kind of macro language maybe? Lua or similar.
Would it be Python?

I want to code a program that given a paragraph of text (letters and numbers), it formats it in a custom way, totally different from the initial source.
The thing I'm wondering is which programming language to use to make it easier to code.
Right now I know some Lua, VB, C and a little less of Python and Java, but I wouldn't mind using other monogramming languages if its easy enough to code it.
If it is okay for you to use a non-mainstream language, have a look at Unicon. It is a successor of SNOBOL, the grandfather of all string processing languages.
If you prefer a mainstream language, I would recommend Python.

You will find great samples in any of the so called "Esoteric Programming Languages":

What languages are new programmer friendly? My friend is a game designer who knows very little about programming but wants to program his old stuff. What is a good language to start him off in. Also what language should he finally aim for?
Python is a popular language for first time programmers, and features a popular platform for creating games:

Your friend will probably want to learn C++ at some point though.
Again a "It depends" answer, but maybe this StackExchange resource helps.
Try Blitz3D
http://www.blitzbasic.com/Products/blitz3d.php
Some of my students with basic knowledge in programming succeeded in creating awesome games (2d shooters, logical, puzzles, arcade, etc) in it in short period of time. It's simple and game-dev oriented, easy to learn and to get started quickly.
C# and Delphi...I saw many new programmers who were comfortable with these two languages.

just try it :)

Hai Friends,
I want to know what is the best alternative to J2ME.
When i referred Net i found the following, but i am still confusing that, which one is best alternative to J2ME.
1. Android
2. SuperWABA
3. JBed
this will Help you
Well, judging from your avatar, I'd say alternative 1.
Besides, the android-alternative will have, by far, a larger and better community. (Have you seen a lot of answered SuperWABA or JBed questions here on SO lately? :)

I think I might be using the wrong words, however I am looking for books/website on pre-programming design. Not patterns but use cases, requirements etc. I would love a book that goes over all the preparation with the UML diagrams etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
As well if there is a better term to use then design document please correct me.
This is one book
