From a nostalgic point of view, "Just Basic", because it was the first language I messed with.
Prolog is awesome, in it own, unique way.

Devoted my life to programming...
Russian, since I can understand 99% of things told in it
All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

I really want to learn russian and klingon.
for computer languages, C++ is my clear favorite, but I also really enjoy go and python.

Fortran (90 and later) by far. The real benefit from Fortran is the ability to do whole array operations with one line.
where a, b, c could be huge multidimensional arrays. You can also do neat stuff like this:Code:a = 5*b + c
which makes 2 partial array assignments. Some of the spoils of C++ are somewhat present, such as:Code:WHERE (a /= 0.0) a = 1.0/a ELSEWHERE a = HUGE(a) END WHERE
(printing to places without worrying about type, like streaming to stdout, and built-in string operations)Code:PRINT *, a_str, a_int, a_float, a_bool a_str = 'some text'//a_str//'some more text'//another_str
Edit: disregard the formatting of the code block, // is Fortran's concatenate operator

I've been enjoying writing Octave code lately.
Code://try //{ if (a) do { f( b); } while(1); else do { f(!b); } while(1); //}
My favorite language of the past was Basic09; but, I have not used in in years.
It was the first real programming language I did much programming in.
Ran under Microwave OS9 on the Radio Shack Color Computer.
I often think of writing a translator or emulator for it.
Basic09 was Basic crossed with Pascal.

C# has been my love for the past few years... despite not being able to separate declarations from definitions.

VB is my fave language, because I can create Windows apps quickly and don't require extensive language-oriented knowledge.
EDIT: I did learn C a while back, and enjoyed it immensely, but had very little use for it in my life(since I can't do Windows programming), so switched to VB.

Python Scripting Language is my other favourite one
