Despite all that people say about Python being an easy language to work with, I'm really FORTRAN to be much easier to work with. I'm modifying legacy F77 code, and while it's picky in terms of formatting, to me FORTRAN code is much more straightforward to follow. Clearly I haven't internalized the object-oriented programming paradigm...

Python is better than C++, but C++ is better than everything else.

Don't know if I really agree. My preferences are:

Object Oriented: Ruby (yes I like it much better than Python)

Breakneck Speed: C, and sometimes C++

Pure Badass: Erlang

Bit of a tangent-- I recently heard someone claim that compiled Lisp runs faster than equivalent C code...
