Out of the two I know, Java and BASIC, I would go with Java just cuz I can actually use it.

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?

I use Tcl http://www.tcl.tk/ for quick prototypes and easy user interface development. The syntax is minimal and clean. I've programmed in everything from bit-slice microcode to PL/I, and I think Pascal is among the easiest "true high-level" languages to learn and use. C is good, but too cryptic for my tastes.

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?

Other: VB.NET
Cuz it's one of the easier programming languages that I have used. Its easy to understand and It makes program code shorter once you know all of the operaters that it accepts. and ya, i'll leave it at that.

Python - ease of use, simple yet extremely powerful, portable, works on any OS, and interpreted, not compiled

If the answer is visual basic, you're asking the wrong question

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?

All those high-level languages are great, I prefer LISP for coding. However, without a doubt, assembly provides the most power, flexibility, and practicality out of them all. If only their were more than a dozen people who would take the time to learn it.

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?

I perfer LISP as a nice medium level lanuge, mainly for it's ability to modifiy it's own code as a data type. the problem is, is thier are few API's for it. at anyrate, for the most part I program in C++ but for as many things they did right in it, thier are quite a few things missing, namely, multiple returns.

as for a high level i don't know many, but C# seems pretty nice, however i am currently learning java which seems quite promising for atleast the deployment part of a application life style.

as for low level, G5 PPC ASM all the way, you can keep your 80x86.

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?

I know it's not the most editable code, but I like REALbasic becuase it make GUIs very fast and the language is simple and intuitive. I could make a very graphical oriented program in an hour or less. The downside is that working with files is hard.

Re: What is your most prefered programming language?

Web Design:

Java (when I want to write something cool)
JScript (when I'm feeling lazy)
perl (when I want the world to bow before me)

Application design:

C-sharp (word for word Java)
C++ (something I could fry my hard drive with)
perl (when I don't want to accidently fry my hard drive)
