Re: What is your most prefered programming language?

For web programming, I do all my sites (HTML) and all my scripts (Perl) by hand.

For app programming, I do everything in REALbasic. REALbasic has MANY strong points. First off, you can compile for Windows, OS X, OS 9, and Linux all from the same source code. Second, REALbasic allows for rapid application development. Proof of this: I'm working on an app with a friend of mine. We essentially started it yesterday, and it will hit the market in full final status in less than three weeks. The downside of this is that lots of really crappy apps end up getting posted that should never have seen the light of day. Third, REALbasic is easy enough to be understood by anyone! Fourth, it has a VB project converter. Fifth, it is Turing-Complete, so it is possible to do ANYTHING with REALbasic (as long as there is hardware if you're looking to perform physical tasks). Yeah, RB rocks.

And I'm trying to teach myself Objective-C....
