Okay this has probably beeen asked over 1 million times, well i know it gets asked alot in most forums.

But,
This is not about a first time coder.
I am coding at the moment in PHP / MySQL and Ruby.
I am really into making IRC Bots. I can make them in ruby, but with php they are very unstable.

So what do yu guys suggest i learn next?

I would like it not to be interpretted, like Perl.
But i would like it compiler. Not too large of an exe.
Easy to learn, and console.

pretty much it.

btw, if you say a lang, could you hook me up with some links around here or something.

Cheers.

Compiled languages are lower-level than interpreted (scripting) languages. It will usually take more code to do the same thing. Because the IRC protocol is mostly a plain text protocol, you could write a bot using raw sockets.

Coming from PHP and Ruby, I'd say C or C++. Google gives you results.

Yes, i was thinking about going into one of those.
But when i saw an irc bot i was like

crap.
I have also thought about things like C#. C# has that horrible .Net framework, that i do NOT like.

So i guess i will have to just learn C, and stick with it.

I guess also, i will have to copy & paste, modify it etc, And eventually code it from ground up.

And mroe suggestions people?

Hmmm your bot doesn't need to have 100+ functions when you start in C/C++... Try doing a bot that respond to PING?

You migth want to use socket there. Please, don't use C#. You'll become lazy and its not portable( well there are tool to make it portable... but thats just not like C/C++)

**Edited:
Make sure to check this to... it's in PHP but you can easylly port it to C/C++
