pros

Lets say what we like about programming languages for a change.

C: Very fast and simple syntax.
C++: Has some useful standard libraries that C doesn't have, like vector and map.
Java: Has a very good garbage collector.
Lisp: You can make intersting self-modifying programs with macros.
PHP: Is one of the more readable scripting languages
Python: The forced indentation of code is an interesting idea
Ruby: no comment

Haskell: math-like, no idiots ('cause you can't program Haskell when you're a trained code monkey, lolol)
Scheme: Spirits of the computer, etc.
C: A solid tool;
Pascal: Even when you are in a room full of cretins, someone will know Pascal.
C++: DICKS ABOUND!
