I do know everyone is different when come coding whatever their programming language is

The Scala programming language (scala-lang.org) is very nice, and I do all my personal projects in it now, as well as starting to introduce it into work. It's very productive, and the libraries (for example, for collections) are extremely well thought out.
It's runs on the JVM and Dalvik (Android).

Shameless recidivist
C/C++ and SDL, and FreeBasic when I want to whip up a simple utility quickly.
On the Amiga I used to program in 68K assembly, C and AMOSPro (even knocked up a simplistic Wolfenstein-style raycasting enging in a mixture of AMOSPro and Assembly!)
Also some PIC assembly, and a tiny bit of AVR assembly.
These days I tend to use C++ more than anything else.

phew....... *takes deep breath*.....
Currently codeing (have programed in)
C, C++, Z80 ASM(re-learning) , 8703 ASM, Java, Brain F**k, AS400 ASM, Sinclair Basic, Amiga Basic, Cobol, Pascal, Delphi, D++, Fortran, B, Z80 Machine Code (not asm, but close
), 68000 ASM
Pure Scripting (have programmed in)
RPG 2, RPG3, System32, HTML 2/3.0 and 4, DHTML, CSS, ASP, Jscript, Perl (PHP), Cobra, Blue J, Amiga Guide,
Currently revising
Blitz Basic, Dark Basic, CPC Basic, 6502 ASM, Z80 ASM for Spectrum & CPC, VHDL and 68000 ASM
Probably a fair few there I forgot to mention... I had / have an OCD it seems about learning computer related programming languges lol!

Impressive
I do Amos Pro too
I also have some experience in Blitzbasic,BlitzMax, Freebasic, C++ too :wooha: That lots of experience in programming
I really Hate JAVA as I was struggling in JAVA Course but good luck to ya lol
Just starting on programming myself here. At uni, first year and were learning Java which will be my first language (in more ways than one hopefully, lol) aside from a tad of HTML and CSS.
I got in to Java programming a long time after C/C++, I have to admit, it still feels at time as though I trying to program whilst wearing a straight-jacket when coding up some Java.
A few of my friend at Uni, had come from a Java background and they thoroughly enjoyed the liberation that C/C++ gives you.
So imho, you are most assuredly doing it the right way round =)
Stuck in VB.net
I hate it.
Well, the language is easy until you start to mess with wpf/wcf... then it just breaks randomly.
have done - from first to last:
Locomotive Basic (Amstrad)
GWBasic (MS)
QBasic (BS)
Dataflex
Modula 2
Pascal (natural progression)
C
c++
x86 asm
then, back down hill....
Delphi 2,3,4,5,6...
Pres
Some data management software I have forgotten the name of
HTML
PHP
ASP
VB.Net
<sigh>The rise and fall of a programmer. :sad:</sigh>

Nice to see AG-Launch on the AmiNet where it belongs
My programming experience covers Pascal :shhh: don't laugh.
I am well chuffed.... like a little kiddie that got THE trainset for Christmas!!!!
Maybe thats what the tutors have in mind. Start with hell, then everything else seems like heaven! 
What is it specifically that makes it so bad? From what I know of it, it was developed as a simplified easier language based on C. (Seems a lot of languages are based on C... It must be good!)
Perhaps easier should read more on rails / restricted???

Absolutely nothing...
Well, absolutely nothing WELL...
I've written some very fancy (and bad) C and Pascal code and various shell scripting languages.
I've even tweaked some 6502 (I borrowed some code and changed memory locations so it ran in a different chunk of RAM, which I was impressed with) and I wrote a calculator program in 68000 assembly that actually divided and multiplied WRONG! I never fixed it, I took it as a sign.. ;-)
I've learned some C, Pascal, Basic and Hypercard in college (I can't believe some of those were classes).
I've poked at RPG and CL on an AS/400. (And a small amount of FORTRAN)
I've worked in VB (my first program, it took me a bit to figure out how to write a program withOUT any Windows...
I tried to learn Modula II, for absolutely no reason other than I got a copy somewhere.
Various database programs (I preferred Foxbase, but migrated to ForxPro eventually).
I've poked at javascript and troubleshot some Java (man I hate Java error debugging..)...
All in all, I learned that as a programmer, I was a great System Administrator. ;-)

What I currently switch between,
Java, PHP, C#, C++, ASM (AVR) and for quick stuff - Ruby
What I once knew
C, Perl, Pascal and misc basic variants.
What I want to be good at
C and asm for the 68k, 6510 and z80 plus maybe objective-c.
I would hope java and c++ will be the languages I'll encounter most professionally. I saw earlier post about java and straitjackets - well, try spending ten years doing perl and php - and then take a project with c#/asp. That was probably the most painful coding experience I've ever had, and after spending half a year working with vb/asp before .net, I thought I've been in hell.

I'm currently using Delphi and SQL (Interbase, Firebird, MySQL, Oracle, SyBase, ...), but I started programming in Basic (msx, spectrum, amiga, atari), ASM (x86, 68000), Pascal (spectrum, atari, x86), Cobol (rmcobol85), Some C/C++, a lot of PHP for web developing.
I love Pascal (all C coders hate it, I don't hate C anyway).

I speak Java in JavaEE, JavaME, JavaSE and Android very well, some fluently.
On a hobby basis i get by in C and C++ for Arduino, and I can hack things together using SDL, MUI and AROS APIs.
I will never admit to being able to interpreter javascript, and if I have to I can write some mean and confusing SQL.
PHP took almost three years of my professional life at one time, and at school it was Pascal, Java and C/C++.
During my Amiga days AMOS and AMOS Pro with 3d and intuition extensions had my heart (oh ye beautiful orange screen who too many configured away in the compiler...)
If there were more hours in the day, I'd take up SCALA and Erlang too.

At work:
C/C++ and from time to time x86 assembly, ARM assembly, ARC assembly
At home:
6502 assembly (on the C64), x86 assembly (for occasional hacking) & lately trying to motivate myself to start learning 68k assembly...
