Ever used Forth? Forth users seem to worship it as the best of both worlds, i.e. good readability but without the loss of precise control of the cpu, memory, rom, i/o etc. that comes when you use other high-level languages. I'm learning Forth because I'm forced to for my senior design project. At the moment I don't have an opinion on it except that it's okay. I don't know if I want to worship it yet.
I've never had my own philosophy on which programming language is better or best. I usually just learn them as they come, for jobs or school or otherwise. I don't program things like Half-Life 2 so I've never needed really precise control of the computer innards. This project I'm doing now is probably the closest I've come to needing that precise control.
