Python!
Ok, I may be a bit late to the game, but I just started seriously using Python for the first time and I have to say that I haven't had so much fun in a long time! This really has nothing to do with game development, so I hope you will bear with the digression. I am a bit of a programming language junky, but only in the sense that I like to learn about them, play with them a bit and move on. I don't do a lot of serious programming with each one unless I come across a situation that seems appropriate. I had to do some simple modifications to a CSV file and I will have to do it on a regular basis. The idea of using C# or Java to do it didn't sound like much fun and those are the languages that I am most familiar with. Instead, I thought of Python and went from knowing nothing to having the dang thing finished in a few hours. The code was much smaller than what I would have written in C# or Java and it was a lot more fun!
