Favorite language:

Basic -> Pascal -> C -> C++ -> D

Primary tool:

Basic -> Pascal -> C -> C++/Tk -> VBA/PHP/Java/Javascript... and does SQL, HTML etc. count? :)

It's funny that as long as I you're a hobbyist your main tool and favorite language are the same. BTW: I forgot an Option Explicit today ... oh, how much I hate VB.

C++

But I recall programming my Sega SC-3000 in Basic, and later at high school commanding a "turtle" around the screen with the Logo language. Those were the days!

C++

Python. In fact, I'd still call Python my primary language. Before Python, I used C++ primarily.
