My friend has worked in several programming jobs before coming to the one at which we met now and he has had to learn loads of different programming languages but even after all of that he still likes basic which was the first oen he learned.

What is your favorite programming language and why?

C#

I know java too, but java's provided no use really

C++ and VB.

Between the two of them you can code 90% of what businesses need.

I always prefered C++

I do virtually all my programming in VB now, since I now just build stuff for Excel really as an aside to my job.

At uni I dabbled with Fortran, and actually really liked it

Fortrans always something I've fancied playing about with.
Is it easy to set up on win32 or are you better using a unix system?

Turbo pascal it aint my fav, its the worst with the blue screen i hope i never have to use it again

c++ no duh c++ awesome but HTML was the first thing i learned

never knew goat was a language

I don't like any of them

There was one I really hated, but I forget what it was called. It was all like this.

Code:

(function blah)

  (blah blah blah)

    (blah blah)

  

C++ without a doubt

C++ and PHP, i started out with BASIC, then moved to C, JAVA and PHP then PERL (blah),

I started with qbasic, then dbase3, visual foxpro, turbo pascal, vb, vb.net and now java on visual j.net

my favourites - vb 6 and java
