I use Python a lot, it is very easy to pick up, if i don't know anything there is a lot of tutorials and documentation plus a very friendly community.
It has lots of libraries which helps and its just overall very great.

I love JavaScript like nothing else and Processing is by far the coolest environment I've ever worked with, but Python and Ruby have always my standbys. Additionally, I'm starting to port some of my stuff to C++ and the speed increase blows me away.

I'm going to have to go with 6502 Assembly right now. I've been able to use it for some pretty fun projects, it actually took some work to learn, and overall it's been fun to code with and use.

I would say C#!
C# is a quick and easy language to learn, the language is also great for beginners who don't appreciate the command line because of the simplicity of the GUI creation in Visual Studio, all it takes its a click and drag and you complete and are ready to get into the coding. Like Visual Basic, the language is very readable to someone who does not code, for example(TextBox1.Text = "Hello" + Name;). Well if you are reading this, a visual learner, and want to start your coding career, learn C#. Thank you for reading.

The fact that the JVM uses a garbage collector is inherently obvious. So, do you also love the fact the CLR does the same thing? (so does like almost every other managed language VM).
Java doesn't even have unsigned primitives (Java 8 has a class library for representing unsigned values, lol). Even James Gosling proclaimed himself to be a bad language designer. The design choices that went into Java are pretty dated by today's standards. Java lacks a lot compared to its, primarily Windows, competitor, C#.

It was a neat language back in the day (early 90s), but it's by no means a legitimate language and should be avoided in anything professional.

It's not really a dedicated programming language, but SQL (Structured Query Language) Is my forte.
I deal a lot with compromising websites that run on SQL-based application software, and communication with the back-end (database) Is Imperative, hence the necessity of SQL.

I'm not really sure what your point is. Did it make you angry that I prefer Java over other programming languages? I'm not trying to say that Java is superior to other programming languages (because that would be a lie), but it has been a pleasure to work with. In terms of features, Java is obviously lacking in comparison to C#, but that's fine by me; it doesn't matter anyway. Many of the design decisions that you deem as dated (they might be, I guess) only try to reinforce the simplicity aspect of the language (although C# does have a few features that I wish Java had). If I had more experience with C#, maybe my opinion would differ. Although I did put my opinion out there, I'm really not that interested in discussing which programming language is the better one.

In reality all programming languages have disadvantage in one or another way. Some more, some less. I like Java in some aspects as language to earn some money and as game-enabler in my spare time. If you know what you are doing it is pretty fast. Trust me.
