I programmed Moo for a very long time, so I'd guess it'd have to be my favorite.

I'm learning C, though, and I think I'll prefer it once I get the jist of things.

That's a huge list.. and I actually like 4DOS batch language the best, but of the ones you've listed in the poll, I've cast my ballot for C/C++. But seeing them all laid out in a single list like that is pretty cool.. definately gives pause to consider, somewhat in surprise, how many languages I do actually know and/or have actually used.

I'm partial to PHP, C and Proce55ing, myself.

I don't think C and C++ should be put together :). I very much enjoy C++, I like Python and then C. I probably use PHP the most, and there's something about it I really don't like. I more tolerate it ;). But ya, C++, Python then C! That's my pick.

I've taken quite a liking to php lately from having worked on the QSF code. For some reason it just seems to make more sense to me. Not sure why that is but obviously the designers have done something right.

You should try Python.

Personally, I don't feel like I can point at a given language and say that's my favorite. It really depends on context. I voted for java because it is the more useful in the most contexts.

Professionally, I use .net, java, sql, regex, xml, xsl-fo, xsl-t, svg, html, and javascript most.

From a portability standpoint, my preference is java->c++->c
From a web or UI point of view, I like javascript. Same with scripting.

RAD, I'll use XUL with Javascript.

For MS, it's C#

Although, I find that I'm a strange developer. For example, I recently wrote a vbscript.asp page that generates a series of XML documents, calls a C++ COM Component, executes a java program that converts the xml to xsl-fo, generates PDF's using apache fop, then emails them using javamail.
