I prefer to program in...
-----------------------------------
Here's an update on the "Your favourite programming langauge" poll (just not necessarily your favourite langauge this time ;)).

Since: July-28-09
Duration: 1 Month.

Java for me. I've tried some others, like C++, Ruby, and Perl and didn't really find them to my liking. Java's easy enough that I don't feel totally lost while still being powerful enough to be a practical choice.

Lately, I've been playing around a lot with Haskell. It truely is a lot of fun to programming in. Hence I voted Haskell. :)

I used to program a lot in Java. However most of my programs would end up being heavily abstracted. Haskell as a language seems to be designed specifically for this task. If you're such a kind of programmer I highly recommend giving haskell a try. Just one tip: don't fight the language, work with it!

Choose the one you find best for the kind of work you do the most (or the one in which you enjoy programming in the most). If there is more than one, find some reason to be biased towards a specifc one and choose that! 

Also, don't forget to tell us why :)

Psuedo code. Lately I don't actually code much. Just think how to do things using programming concepts. Though if I had to code something for actual use, it'd have to be in  Java right now. C++ and Python ain't my forte yet. Though midget codes in Turing are still fun to do.

I prefer C++. People say it's difficult to learn and error-prone, but I actually learned assembly before I even touched C++, so it wasn't hard for me at all.

C++ here.

edit : Brian will already know this, but I want Brainfuck as a choice!

Sadly I can only fit 10 choice in one poll. Besides Brainf*ck is not all that popular. File it under others.

I voted Python because I find it very simple and powerful at the same time.

C++ for actual numerical stuff, and graphics, perl for scripting and web stuff where possible, php where not.

Java, though C (notably not C++) is growing on me. I'd also be tempted to learn Python if I wasn't so busy not being useful.

Im, going to have to go with java again, for the same reason, a vast and endless library to use.

For most of my programming days I have programmed in Python, and it is an absolutely great language (Done most of the Project Euler problems with it) :) 
However, recently, I have grown fond of Java, it is very useful and great for animation ... and its huge libraries =P
I also program in C/C++ and Mathematica ...
I guess my hierarchy of programming languages would be:
Java -> Python -> C/C++ -> Mathematica :D

Lately Objective-C as it's my first object oriented program... other than that Perl. However, I'm finding it hard to be going back to a procedural-programming language.

Well then, good news!  Perl is an object-oriented programming language.
