Java because of it's compile once, and run across different platforms. Also because I find it really easy to learn. Maybe PHP as my favorite as it's really easy to learn, and I like learning interpreted languages and creating really cool web sites. :D

Operator overloading is an awesome attribute.

Ada, because I like to hurt. Excellent multi-threading capabilities, and it is designed to make very solid reliable code. Oh yeah and it can do operator overloading if you really find the need to.

Now ask me what I write in, Java, 'cause I'm lazy...

That seems to be a very common plague in the programming community. I suppose that is why .NET and garbage collectors are so popular.
