I like C or C++ C++ is reliability easy to learn and very usefull, if you know C++ it does not take much to learn C

Visual Basic or just Basic in general is easy to learn but not very applicable in most cases

java is a nice object oriented language but i myself do not know it but i know a lot of people who prefer it

Assembly gives you the most control over what your programming, yet extremely difficult to pick up

C# i dont know much about it but i know you can use it for web pages

My language of choice is C/C++ or assembly

that's all i can think of for now

int x = INT_MAX + 1; <--- how do you define this behaviour? C++ is not "easy" to learn, due to undefined behaviours. Java, despite what you say, can be used to code for embedded devices. It can also be used "for web pages" (as can C, C++, assembly and any other language that supports standard console input/output). Assembly isn't a language. It's a family of languages. C/C++ is not a language. Pick one.
