Python I love because it forces me to write readable code. Every so often I write some PHP code that eventually after being rewritten again and again becomes a little sphaghetti-ish. I also like Perl because it offers choice as well as an easy offline lookup tool

I voted for C, but I also greatly enjoy (x86) assembly with x264's abstractions.

C# is so powerful, expressive and I am glad to see that Mono is becoming more popular and helping to separate C# from the Microsoft stack.
