I use C, C++, and C# primarily.

C because I'm forced to "support" other programmers' code that are no longer employed here. Also, because of my tinkering with the Linux kernel on the side.

C++ because of its speed and flexibility. C++ was beat into me during my college years as well. For at least three years, I'm almost certain I had a program due every day. My brain likes to make things complicated, C++ helps with that.

C# for when I have to write code for Windows machines. It allows me to make extensive use of the .NET framework... also fairly easy to read.

I use PHP and Perl for most all of my web development... because that is what I prefer.

My scripting is usually done in Bash or Perl, looking to get more streamlined with Python as well... but most every time I think of a project I can do it in 1 to 2 lines of Perl anyway. Bash and Perl give me a god-like feeling, maybe its because of the regular expressions and the cool catch phrases... BANG.

I contemplated putting Ruby in the mix, but it would end up with about 20+ other languages that I don't use very often.
