What is your favorite programming language ?

[CrashTECH]

My favorite is C++ mainly becuase that is what I learned on, and what I know the most about. I have done some 'limited' work in some other languages, but hardly enough to know enough about them to call them a favorite.

I cant think of even a single real world project that Pascal was ever used for successfully

The language I know the most extensively is Java. At first I hated it (I was taking it as a class), but it kind of grew on me.

I voted C++, but I want to learn Perl and Python soon, when I find the time...

Out of the ones up there I know Python, PHP, Java, and C++, and I'm gonna have to go with Python as my favorite. I can't say that I've used it on a big project so i dont know how good it is in that aspect (hell, I cant say I've used anything on a big project im a high school student with major time restrictions), but for personal use python is great. I think this for two reasons, one being that if I just want to try something out real quick I can open the python interperator in 5 seconds flat, and the other is that I really like the little bits of syntactic sugar such as list comprehensions which make life oh so easy.

php!

I prefer RUBY over all the others. I find it very 'zen', simple to use. I have seen 700 line C-coded stuff than can be reduced to 400 lines using Ruby.

Has anyone considered considered coding a few Ruby-based applications for Ubuntu? -- maybe even a Web Browser

Why is python considered so good, im not much of a programmer although i have been considering giving it a whack.
