It really depends on what I want to do:
If it's a small GUI application: then VB.
A quick program for processing data: Perl
A big project: C++
Java is nice too, but it's too slow.

Yet another not on the list, Delphi... given the choice, this has the power of C++, the ease of VB and is so much clearer and structured... I never have quite understood why it hasn't taken off more, as I can do anything in Delphi that can be done in C, and generally can do it faster. C++ to me is insanely ridiculous in syntax and readability... you can never tell what the code is doing without staring at it for a while. Any language that still requires case sensitivity has long since past its prime in my opinion.
