Programming Languages What to you program in?

For my Unix stuff, I use C, borne shell, and perl. For Windows, I use AutoIT and VBScript. For stuff that runs on a microcontroller or a digital signal processor, I use either C or assembler depending on what I am trying to do. I couldn't beleive how many programing languages are out there. There was WAY too many to list on the poll. I know of Cobol, Forth, Fortran, Lisp, Logo, Ada to name a few.

C
AutoHotKey (voted AutoIt because they are very similar and in fact AHK is a fork of AutoItv2)
HTML
Unix shell, batch files
And my favourite: OCaml/Objective-Caml.
I need to say why this language is my favourite : developping is fast, code is portable, programs are robust (static types *automatically* determined at compile time which lets you have complicated types) and fast (~1.2*C_time), functionnal programming (List.iter (Printf.printf "%s\n") my_list;; are really nice things), language is powerful and expressive though cryptic for the beginner.
Problems ? None with the language, some with the libraries which are sometimes lacking (*sometimes*, you usually have everything you need).
I know this isn't about comparing computer languages but I needed to make some advertisement for this one which is not known enough.

I started with some Basic and Assembly ages ago, writing my own slot machine. Once we had a 286, I wrote hundreds of Batch-files. Ah, the memories!
From there on I learned some Perl and Visual Basic. Around the same time I learned HTML, CSS, Javascript, VBScript and later ASP. And of all this, I believe that I use my Batch and HTML knowledge most

Well, I use CSS, HTML, Javascript (NOT the same as Java!) etc. a lot for web design. I'm learning both VBscript and Visual Basic. I'm learning assembly for my TI-84+, and as for my other vote, that goes to TI-BASIC, the easiest, coolest language on earth, at least while sitting in math class feeling bored and having nothing better to do than program. or play tetris. on the calc.
Oh, and batch scripting but that doesn't really count, at least not on the level I use it.
