Favourite programming language

Name your favourite programming language (not necessarily (but usually) the one you know the best - just the one you like best).

Tip: Java doesn't belong in this thread.

Mine is __Python__.

I would actually have to say Java. But that's because I'm a student. As such, I'm required to make small programs in short time that do useless things, and Java is simply the easiest language for such work. Just this morning I wrote a Java program that fetches the response code from a http request. Three lines. Same in C? No idea...

At times when serious work is needed (yes, I do have work experience) Python seems to fill my needs.

wtf? Think about it, to write a program that prints "Hello world" you have to create a class. What other language forces you to do that? The only reason you can accomplish a lot with seemingly very little is because the Java foundation api is so comprehensive. But that has nothing to do with the language itself.

>>32 is an idiot. C is a low-level language, little more than assembly with macros. If Java uses a similar number of lines as C, something is seriously wrong.

Perl: print "Hello World!\n";
Python: print "Hello World!"
Ruby: print "Hello World!\n"
Forth: ."Hello World!" CR
Bash: echo "Hello World!"
Ocaml: print_string "Hello world!\n";
Lisp: (write-line "Hello World!")
BASIC: print "Hello World!"

Yes, they're all one-liners. No additional shit needed. And these are just the languages I can yank off the top of my head.

Oops. I thought it would be faster. Well, it happens to be so for larger applications and test algorithms.

Oh, wait. The Python code uses full Unicode support. Ruby doesn't even support that. You just cannot compare them.

Could you time

Perhaps it's still slower but it might be faster than using Unicode.
