Of course, very subjective - but with all the different languages available, how do people base their choice of language to use? In addition, if two languages are very similar what features would make one "better" than the other for people?

For me, a good language is one that allows you to perform low-level/ optimised actions as well as high-level actions. C++ is the best for me. It can be high-level and you have the opportunity to create your own constructs effectivley with classes and operators but when you need to you can easily manipulate bytes and bits.

Good language depends upon different criteria. it will be combination of all Technical/Functional/behavioral/Usability performance/adaptability and ease to understandable by the user. it shoud be ease to use. The syntax level and User Interface should be simple and ease to adaptabel with good performance.

For me the a "good language " is one that is very easy to learn and program ,has very user friendly features but yet very-2 powerful in terms that it should be able to do whatever the user like like connecting it to different versions of databases or connecting it to some physical devices

a good language is one that can optimize the function usage so that it would be easier to complete a program..

I think good language should be suitable for non-professional programmers also and not only to the professional one. It should be simple to learn and use but must have many programming features.
