I love C, LISP and Python, each for its own purpose, but my favourite has to be C.

I like Forth, because I am closer to the system than I'd be with other languages. Since the first programming language always(?) is the one, you like, I also like Pascal (not too much ASCII soup) :oops:

Fortran, Focal, COBOL, RPG II, Algol, Coral, LISP, Snobol, BASIC, ....

Lots of asemblers. JCLs. Shell scripts.

Ah! The joys of Forth.

All time language - C.

Then Pascal - a lovely language, and even better when Delphi'ed.

Then TURGID C++

Next C#, which let me program at the C level, when I wanted, but with the rigour and power of Pascal.

....

Favourite? All of them! (except C++ and tedious Intel m/c).
