I do 3D programming mostly and I find C++ works great for that. I am also learning how ot program Motorola MCUs, in C and a little assembler, I wouldn't dare use .NET for that. The better language can't just be picked.
A little bit of a lot of things. Some operating systems internals. There was a print/batch system where some of the work was done in Assembly language and some in BASIC (Basic-PLUS actually). I've done OS work for a couple of companies (the companies that created the hardware and OS) in a couple of assembly languages. I've done some high performance stuff using array processors which obviously was in FORTRAN. Some applications (accounting etc) that was done in languages like COBOL, DIBOL, versions of BASIC, etc. Test software for high performance systems in a bunch of languages.

Are you saying that no language is better then any other? They're all the same?
