I Java and lua the most, lua is easy and fun for Cc of course and Java challenges me.

I also am learning Visual Basic, it seems you can do some cool stuff with it, but it doesnt really attract me.

Later on I want to dive in PHP and CSS and then HTML wich is no programming language. Also C languages seems very interesting

You should try C#, it does everything VB does, but it has it's own game engine (called XNA) and it's more similar to C and Java.

They are going to stop developing XNA. But Unity 3D is really nice. Supports JavaScript, C# and Boo.

I'm going to say the neutral thing and go with Python.
I don't like Objective-C (especially), or Java, or C#.
def pythonIsAwesome():
if pythonIsAwesome == true:
  print "Python is awesome!"

No end statement! :D

You realise that you are comparing a function with a boolean, right?

Eh. I've always heard about and experienced some bad (usually performance related) things about Unity.

I LOVE object-orientated! Why do you hate it?

My favorite is Lua because of its easiness and java.

Lua, C++, Java, C and QBasic(as my first language)

Why does Obj-C look so ugly to my eyes?

Why has nobody said BrainFuck? Did I write that VM for nothing!!??

You obviously haven't looked under the hood lol
As far as VMs go, JLua is one of the most verbose, resource wasting horrors I've ever seen.

It just is ugly, no two ways about it. I don't think I've ever met someone who actually uses it.

Malbolge is designed to be horrifying.

Also, CSS isn't a programming language, it's declarative, not procedural.

Yep, because this certainly isn't convoluted:
-(BOOL)writeToFile:(NSString *)path atomically:(BOOL)useAuxiliaryFile;

Not at all convoluted to me, quite nice and easy to read. And actually when reading back through code it makes it much nicer to read and understand what a particular parameter is for (assuming you use good naming conventions of course).

Not that I have experiece with that many languages, but I realy like Pythons syntax.
Though it tends to get hate for its 'strict indentation' I find it awesome :>

You can even kill it completely!

Thats the main reason I don't like it. Had to do it for a whole semester, was painful.

Java's cool because of how customizable and flexible it is (IMO), with extensions and classes in general but Lua is awesome because of how simple it is and how little code is required to do stuff...
