Brainfuck!

Jk, C++ of course.

For simplicity, Lua is the best IMO. I can't stand the indenting system in Python.

For extensibility, PHP by far. It basically supports any way of typing something.

Personal favourite, Objective-C or C++.

I prefer Java; I just wish it allowed code snippets that weren't contained in classes.

Lua, of course, simple.

Java I dislike, because the type of variables add much complicated things.

Lua and C# both have sexy syntaxes.

But at the same time, it allows for the programme to be much faster, as you are able to edit the memory. Oh lol, you were talking about Java. My fault :P

Moonscript's syntax is nice, though python has a lot of odd quirks about it. C, C++, C#, and Java all annoy me to an extent. with how a lot of the syntax is based around symbols instead of words, and Visual Basic is just god damn horrible.

And yeah, lua is cool too, but I always get that "why can I not do this" feeling every now and again.

Objective-C.

1. It's based on C.
2. It was made by people on acid in the 80's

Obj-C ftw! Or Java... nah Obj-C FTW! C++ is alright too, as long as you remember 'if you have a problem, you have missed a * or & somewhere'...

I prefer Lua's syntax. It is the simplest.

Lua is nice and simple, perfect for ComputerCraft. But not more than that. Java sucks, C# & C++ too. I kind of like Game Maker Language but you can't really call that a language I guess. I'd say HTML as my favorite language xD

HTML isn't really a programming language, it's just a text markup language :D
It's based off of XML.

The syntax I like the best is the language I need to use at the time. I like Lua's simplicity and I like C-like syntax.

Lua is incredibly versatile and can do pretty much anything you want to do.

Squirrel looks kinda nice though.

sorry for procrastinating.
i knew as i was posting this that someone would say that.
i actually have programmed in brainfuck before, and i must say, it is an eyeopening experience
