For the applications I write, Ada is the fastest (in development time)
language I know (and I have used APL, Visual Basic, C, C++, Emacs
Lisp, Java). 

The speed is partly due to the library of useful stuff I've built up
over the years (including my own container library); Ada makes it much
easier to write such a library.
