This thread is a periodic repost of 'our favourite languages', started as
light relief from the PL/I vs ADA debate in comp.lang.pli and other
groups. Please cross-post to any group you see fit. To contribute, send
an e-mail to me gardinerr@dcslambert.agw.bt.co.uk) indicating your
'favourite' languages, in order 1 to 4 (or less, if you only like 1 or 2
languages).
Rules:
1) You may not vote for the language you learned first as no. 1. So
'everyone always loves their first language best' is eliminated.
2) You may only vote for languages where you have good practical
experience
So far, everyone has been polite and I have not been flamed --- !
