I agree. For a seasoned programmer language choice is less important then people who are learning. In isolation I would much rather teach people to program in Pascal. But all the people I teach are doing embedded work so C is by far the better choice.
For PC development I like C#.
Like I said, I was being silly. As far as I am concerned, either you can program or you can't--the language should be a minor hump to get over.
Well, mostly. I wouldn't through a procedural or object-oriented programmer at a functional programming language problem and expect them to swim immediately. But within language families, programming is pretty much programming and the syntax is a small thing.
