Is there a way to know what programming language was used for any certain software?

Every language has a different syntax.

Yes, I am talking about a non- open source program. An .exe file. I am trying to learn reverse engineering.

Looking at which .dll's are imported helps (using PEInfo for example).
You will see if it's an .NET application, vb6 etc if you know which dll is commonly used for it.
You can also try "TrID - File Identifier" (

If it is a machine-code binary .exe, no. Sometimes you MAY be able to guess which compiler was used.

However, depending on what the program is, and rarely this is the case, but sometimes that information is in the about page.

In my point of view: C++ for all the functions that computer can provide. C# for productivity, but reduced functionality.
