I just retired from a 40+ year programming career. As you might imagine I've had to learn and master a large number of programming languages (at last count, 16). The last third of my employment was programming primarily in Perl, so right now it is the language that by far I am the most fluent. It is a powerful and versatile language and I really enjoy programming in Perl. But if you were to ask me what is my favorite programming language, I'd say it is probably the one I'll learn next. This has almost always been the case.
