Ummm, 6502 assembly? Actually all my stuff is in C++ (and a bit of C). I've got a lot of old C++ code that I use, so I don't feel like changing languages. Also I need to be able to run is on Unix systems.

I'm still partial to Java, although I can respect the advantages of Objective-C. Although Java is slower, I really like automatic garbage collection.

Favorite language? C++ -- the stack is your friend. Operator overloading is object-oriented. I never had a program have memory problems until I started writing Java code for a living!
To develop on OSX? Objective-C -- even if the syntax makes me cringe  . Like was said previously, it's not like there is a lot of choice. I'm looking forward to using the Obj-C++ extensions.

ObjectiveC and Java are both perfecty portable - it's just that Cocoa isn't, and neither is Carbon. ObjectiveC++ might be harder, but if it's part of Darwin's GCC then it may drift out eventually.
Personally I much prefer Java to anything else - though it would be even better if it did have operator overloading.
But then, I don't code for OS X. They pay me to work in Java and Swing, so I'm happy enough.

PowerPC assembler, but don't tell anybody I said that
I use it just for fun, and that's what it should be, because programming assembler is bad for your health!

You may think I'm kind of weird, but I actually prefer the syntax to that of other, mainstream languages. I like the fact that a unique syntax is used for method invocations vs. that used for data access; after all, they're two different mechanisms. Plus, I like how the tagging mechanism built into the method/message format enforces self-documentation of messages so that I don't have to keep referring to a header file to find out what each argument means.
