Personally I use whatever language is best suited for the application. I wouldn't use C to do lots of string manipulation, I would use Python (Ive heard great things about Perl too but never used it) If I were writing web pages I wouldnt use Haskell (though someone DID) I would use HTML, PHP or ASP.Net. My question is, what sort of application are you working on, how would we use it?
Oh and my personal favorite language, C. I enjoy working in it despite it not being the simplest of languages to learn.

It's for a website. I am in a dilemma between using PHP or Ruby on Rails. While Ruby on Rails will be easier to teach to my team, I am a better coder at PHP and it is generally just a more popular language. If there is a significant number on chief delphi that uses ruby, then I might consider using it for the web applacation.
