What's the programming language of your choice?

I'm only in second year at uni and we've only learnt C/C++ and I'm really liking C++, its very powerful. from what I'm hearing though, c# really seems like a C+=2; :P I should take a gander.
 
currently focusing on C++ as my main language, before this i did PHP wrote a content management system in it, now i am dabbling in ASP.NET just learning the basics at the moment. Seems very interesting and a much more faster development lifecycle compared to PHP, i reckon i could port my CMS over to PHP within a couple of months. where as php it took me a while to churn it out.

PHP for web work, Java for cross platform (though most Java applications aren't made very well).

C++ is good, but doing visuals in it is a pain. I've not used .NET (other than Visual Basic) but I guess that takes a way a lot of the hard work? I had to use MFC as part of a Uni project, after I finally understood how to use it I spent most of my time converting between different variable types to actually modify/read from various input boxes.
 
C# here. We've almost finished a year long port from J2EE to C#.NET 2.0 for one of our big products here. It's a couple hundred thousand lines of code.
 
I would certainly agree that it depends on the task (no point in turning to C++/Java if doing nothing much).

BUT

I loooovvvveee PERL such a simple scripting language, if you need to do something in a hurry then PERL has to be your first option

and for "power" apps, it's got to be Java

I like Java, but Ruby is great simply for the speed it gets things done, i've forgotten all the commands now though.
 
PHP & MySQL atm.
I've been thinking of switching to ASP.Net or C# as they seem to be more versatile and robust, plus I prefer object orientated programming and I'm not exactly a professional with PHP :p
