Your favorite programming language

Hey guys, what's your favorite language? I'm not asking which you think is the best, or which you use at your job or whatever. Which is the one that makes programming the more fun to you? Me, I have two: Ruby and Smalltalk. Ruby because I really like the language and I think it's a joy to write code in it and Smalltalk because I also dig the language, but even more the whole IDE surrounding it. Right now, I'm doing a web project in Ruby using Rails and so far it's been extremely pleasent, much more pleasant than the last time I had to do a web project and that I had to use PHP4.

C++ (best language evar IMHO, using it and plain C together)
ASM (very fun to program in, all low level stuff is)

I have to say that C# is just plain awesome. C++ has nothing on it. VB.NET would be up there, except for the incredible verbosity of the language, which I find hilarious.

I really like plain C for its simplicity and power.
Edit: But C++ and Python are very cool too, just in a different way.

I really like C# too. It's like all the good features that I like about other languages stolen and put together in one. Pretty much everything in it is exactly what I would have liked.

C# is my favorite language to work with because I feel it fixed a lot of the mistakes and holes in the C++ language.

C++ is my other favorite language.

C++ by far is the best, most powerful, and most fun. I love OOP and Pointer functionality.

Visual Basic is a second, just because it is so easy to create a "graphical" user interface program in.
