Re: What is your most prefered programming language?

Obj-C and Java are really great, with straight C coming in close behind. Java for the ability to run on many platforms, Obj-C just because it's cool and really easy to use, while being very powerful at the same time, and C for command-line stuff. (Although Obj-C is cool for command-line stuff too, but it adds a bit of overhead)

One main problem with C-based languages that Java solves is memory management. I'd much rather create objects and have the system sweep up after me than worry about when I should free something.
