What is your favorite programming language?

[Tangent128 offline]

There appear to be a lot of technical types here, so... which programming language do you like best?

My favorite is Forth. Specifically, colorForth. Even more specifically, Glypher.

Sorry for the long poll... there are a lot of languages, and I'm sure I've missed some important one.

I like Liberty BASIC. I made a program that can graph two variables in an algebra sentence, such as y=2*x-3, then graphs it. I made this other one that simulates a standard calculator, and this other one that makes a pattern that never repeats itself (called the Thue Morse sequence), and a lot of other junk that I'll never use again. Like a prime factorizer. As you can see, I've made plenty of programs with LBasic.

It's not even funny how many BASIC programs I've made on my TI-83... everything from Star Wars Stormtrooper Hit Probability calculators, to a Space Invader type thing where a '[' was fighting a '^', to (gasp!) useful calculations.

In Computer Science, we work with Java. It's okay, but at least on the school computer anything with graphics works weirdly.

So I still like the simplicity of Forth... I made a video game with it as a Pre-Calc project, and it worked. No fuss with exceptions or objects, just programming.

I keep things basic. C++ is the way to go...
