This is not a "which language is best" thread.

I have noticed that despite what people think about a language's capabilities, there are languages they use because they just like the way it works. I personally think that it is a matter of a state of mind. I believe that there are different programming languages for different minds, and there are people that can easily grasp a specific programming concept, while in another they cannot understand what this is about.

So, I thought I should ask what people in here are using, and why do they use it. I am not asking people to tell me the capabilities of their language. Instead, I would like to know about their abilities to easily grasp the concepts of the programming language they use.

So: What language are you using, and why that? Why not something else? If your professional environment forces you to use a language you don't like, what language you would like to use, and why?

I will start: I like Objective C++. I can easily understand OOP concepts, and I just can't imagine myself not using them. I like the arbitrary data types that can be used with any object of the foundation framework and the flexibility this offers, but I also like the the fast typing of C++, and working with overloaded operators. Thus, I ended up learning C++ first, Objective C later, and I mixed those.
