PHP, but that is just because I'm a web developer. |

Java was cool back in the 90s, but now it feels old and archaic to me, especially on my platform of choice. As for computer language, I am an Objective-C programmer. I like the light-weight design of it as a superset to C rather than the normal overly bloated OO languages. I also like the dynamic messaging system, I find it more elegant and intuitive to use than dot notation and/or normal function calling. Although, not always seen as a programming language, I also use EcmaScript ( JavaScript ), it started out as a web based scripting language, but over the years it has taken on new forms and platforms and is also used as a programming language in some development tools. I love Javascript's open ended, very modifiable prototype based object oriented-ness. It's such a powerful language that seems so unfairly judged as being too basic for real use. |

Possible duplicate: What is the most widely used programming language?
Java -- not enough reference types Perl -- too many false values I haven't yet come across a perfect programming language. Javascript isn't bad, Haskell has piqued my interests lately. I've been programming in C (incorrectly for most of it) since 2003-2004, though it's pointer/pointer-to-array/array-of-pointer/pointer-to-function declaration is stupid. C# is quite nice, especially when you start to learn about pointers, though also has a few downfalls...
There's no such thing as a perfect programming language. It's one of those holy grails of computer engineering. Every language has its ups and downs...
