Hey /prog/, I have a large project I have been brainstorming for a few years or so and I now want to start programming it. The problem is I am a little indecisive on what language to do it in. Anyone have any tips on this matter?
I was thinking of doing C++ or Java but a friend got me into Haskell lately. It really shouldn't matter too much, but I just am wondering if anyone has experience in these matters. Thanks!

It all depends on the project, you dummy, and you've said nothing about it.
Is it a web application? Desktop application with a GUI? CLI? Device driver? Correctness matters? Performance? Extensibility? Portability? Do you actually want to finish the project or learn a language better? Do you expect any external contributions? Say something, jeez.

Desktop with networking and heavily text-based. I want to actually finish it.

Then you probably should pick C++ or Java, whatever you know best
If you don't have any good reason to use Haskell, then there's no need to because you'll have much less libraries to choose from.
