What are some self-dependent programming languages? Please tell me C++ is because I have a C++ textbook. Is C++ quality programming? What are some other GOOD SELF-DEPENDENT languages?

What do you mean by "self-dependent programming languages?" It is not a term I have heard of before, and I did a quick Google search and found nothing.

Now if you mean a programming language that does not require translation at run time such as scripting languages or Java then almost every language can be compiled into a machines native machine language. but also almost every language can also be made to run under emulation and need translation at run time. For example Visual C++ is C++ but requires the .net framework to run because it needs the libraries it offers at run time. Other flavors of C++ will compile to a machines native machine language. Microsoft did this so your code should be compatible though all versions of windows, past or future. and on all sorts of platforms (ie. windows phone)

But what did you mean by self-dependent language?

By self-dependent, I mean languages that can make a program or application only by themselves. Like...can c++ make it's own quality apps/programs without help from Java?

There is no simple answer to this question, it depends on the platform you are running on and the compiler you run. in general stay away from anything Visual Studio and Java.

Why ? Just curious.

Visual basic requires the .net framework to run. and Java requires the Java Virtual Machine, unless you use compiled Java, but that defeats the purpose of Java being a portable language.

However if you really want a "self-dependent programming language" learn assembly!

What more does assembly complete?
