Java.  I tried Perl but it hurt my brain.  Then I found Ruby and it  
fit into my noggin even better than Java.

C# for GUI dev and PHP for web dev.  Then Python for just a little
while before Ruby.

Ruby, of course. :)

Second choice would be Objective-C.

PHP, mostly.  Some Perl, and some Java (but not since college), but
yeah, mostly PHP.  I''m better off now.

I feel your pain. I was there a few months ago. Professionally, I do  
1/2 Ruby, 1/2 JavaScript ATM. Learning Ruby pushed me to look at Lisp,  
and I''ve settled into Scheme as my main hobby and exploration tool  
these days. Ruby does borrow heavily from the Lisp tradition, and it  
has been fun to see Lispisms in Ruby''s syntax and idiomatic style.  
They are more alike than different.

Cheers,
-Mark

Perl, PHP, ObjectiveC, depending on task.

This might seem shocking, but Ruby was the first language I ever  
learned, so I''ve never known anything different.  :)

Same here - Ruby is my first and still favorite language. I''d hardly  
count my time with PHP as meaningful - so Ruby it is.

C++, PHP or Bash depending on the purpose

French, English and Japanese for my other relations with non-binary
flesh and nerves made unmanageable systems.
