I do like C# and Java (well, I use to like it but the last thing I did with it was taking a course on using CORBA with Java in 1998!), I never liked C, and that carried over to C++, last time I worked with C++ was a couple of years ago to customize a video wall input console, a program that is still running, and I really hope there is no need to change anything on it, as I hated every second :)

The problem is that once you know Smalltalk, none of this languages is good :)
