First: Python for simplicity,
second: Java for static type checking.

assembler

you said favourite, not most practical :D

PHP and JavaScript :P

C
ASM (Assembly)
PHP (for when im lazy "which is often")

In order:
Python
PHP
Ruby
C

PHP
Python

c# , asp.net and c-language :)

I love doing c++ but typically never have anything that requires it. So usually it's more playing around doing stuff in opengl and using c++ than anything practical. For scripting or web stuff I prefer PHP over any of the other languages.

I suppose I really don't much care what language it is as long as it's C based. All the same after that besides function names and language specific features.

C
Python

Hate C++ :)

I can't believe no one has mentioned Perl. Hard to explain, but it always seems that it doesn't do what I want, but always what I intended.

There should always be more than one way to do things properly. I'm probably a bit biased as it was my first language...

Swiss Army Chainsaw

Perl

I absolutely hate Perl it's just awkward to program in for me. It could be most other languages I had worked in before Perl were all similar to C or C itself.

.NET in every flavor

Because of its versatility, useable on the web, windows, services, silverlight, web services, ...

Mostly VB.NET though, started with it, sticked with it, altough I do some projects in C# too

I really enjoyed doing C# work this past Summer.

That said, Python is just so elegant.

tell me.
your favorite language.

Hawaiian, then Italian.

Python in every way except for the Web where I prefer PHP.

Python (specially for web - with Django).

Unless a PHP developer is using a REALLY smart framework (which Symphony isn't for instance and a lot of them aren't), if he does the Django tutorials and spends some time on Python and Django, he will never return to PHP :D. At least I didn't :D.

Python for the web (Django): clean, batteries-included.
Perl for networking, general-purpose server-side apps: very powerful, expressive.
Java for client-side apps: complete, portable

For my future study: Erlang and Haskell.

Anything .Net, but I prefer C# though

C++ - applications (only write automation programs for games a.k.a bots)
python - pretty much anything I can use it for, i love python.
php - small stuff..
lua - I use lua in ALL of my game bots for scripting routines.. I reverse game functions and expose them to lua.

got to be php though i learnt with vb6.

Ruby. The syntax is fantastic. I'm quite interested to see what Google does with GO - it's a new C++ replacement.

Python all the way

Perl, PHP, JavaScript, and C++.

Between these, we can accomplish anything on any platform.

classic ASP

I like java,simple but powerful

c# in Visual Studio. Try as I might I can't replicate the experience with anything else.

classic ASP

lol.
:blush:

Perl, PHP, JavaScript, and C++.

Same here :)

I prefer regular C more than C++ tho :P

I don't like objects very much (I try to stay away from Java-variants) - procedural programming ftw! :D

Oh, and don't forget BASH shell programming :P

C++ and PHP...

PHP and Ruby on Rails!

you sound like an old-school guy, may be 30-40 year old. I am right?.

Let's just say I have an old soul ;)

Can you say LISP :o

brackets are fun :stickout:

I'm with you C over C++.. but if I had the knowledge I would use ASM over C every day of the week..;)

PHP for everrrr!! oh and Java second :D

Is it true that Facebook is being programmed entirely from scratch?

If you would have to develop a social networking platform similar to Facebook, but a little bit more complex than this stupid website, in which programming language would you build it (front-end, back-end)?

I don't understand why not everyone favors Java over PHP. is it because there are less Java experts available on the job market than PHP developers?

Why is the Front-End of Facebook in PHP and the Back-End in Java? Why not completely in Java?

I started in PHP...

Then I grew up and learned good languages :)

Python and Ruby right now are my personal favorites. Extremely powerful languages right there. With C/++ being close 3/4th however I never find use for what little I do know with those languages to be useful in large applications...

C, C++, PHP for its nice programing functionality.

PHP C C++
Never tried Python,But will do so

PHP obviously works so I would just go with it. Even more now when Facebook team addressed and provided solution for PHP scaling issues when you are dealing with billions of hits per day (HipHop).

I am sure there would be some python there too (threaded background updates) and maybe even java (jabber chat server).

I don't understand why not everyone favors Java over PHP. is it because there are less Java experts available on the job market than PHP developers?

There is that and then there is the fact that working with PHP is easy and fast and that java is big fat memory hog.

Why is the Front-End of Facebook in PHP and the Back-End in Java? Why not completely in Java?

I am not sure where you got that information. Facebook is written in PHP. Java is probably used for only one or two services (I'd guess their chat would be one of those).

PHP and C++

C# in Visual Studio
If batch files count as a language, then that is second. Very useful.
Ten years ago, maybe even five years ago it would have been Delphi.

We only code in pure PHP to run on MySQL to reside on a Linux server

no love for classic asp? :-) and javascript....

My favorite language is SAP-ABAP/4.

tell me more about this language
robin.

Erlang i guess...

Advanced Business Application Programming

Advanced Business Application Programming

Is that like COBOL for the 21st century :P

C# for work
Python for fun

Mines has to be Visual Basic <3!

PHP is my first choice.
