[Nottingham] Which programming language (RE: O'Reilly Books)

[Rennacker Ed]

I was reading about the O'Reilly UK perks and  the book "Beautiful Code" 
caught my eye. Then I noticed the book "Mastering Perl" and it got me to 
thinking. Which programming languages do the members here use and why? I 
am curious, you know, like:
I use PHP because I have web sites or I use Oracle, because my mother 
did or I use Java because I do development work.
Sorry if this is offensive or rude, but I was wondering for several reasons.
Cheers,
edward
