Turbo Pascal was the first ever language I worked with. I also love
Perl. And, as I've said before, not counting the non-free issues, I love
Java. I've done some C++ work (which is actually what prompted this
question in the first place) but I've never quite gotten comfortable
with C. I'm also very reluctant to learn Python because I'm very adamant
in how I use whitespace. Though I will need to pick it up sooner later.
As well as Ruby and probably PHP as well. You can never know too many
languages after all. :)
