Assembler was the first one I learned (other than a little Fortran in a college class) and there was something about its austerity I really liked. Not machine language but the next closest thing. Once you grok the principles of assembler, nothing is going to really surprise you. Delphi was an elegant language I really enjoyed working with during its moment in the sun, a combination of VB's ease of use and C's low level capabilities. C# is the language I love these days. If all goes well I will be using it the rest of my career.

In order of preference:

VFP --my favorite STILL for data handling but missing the stuff of C#.net and delphi
C# -- most likely will be my language of choice for the future - i spend about 70% of my time with it now
Delphi -- best for communications programming a couple of years ago
Ada -- i had to write a lot of military/government apps using this so I got "comfortable" with it
C++ --if I were writing games
Assembler -- I used this way way back in the old days when I programmed keyboards and other medical devices

The other languages I had to use: RPG, Cobol, Basic, etc don't warrant a position on the list :)
