Standing on a giant pile of mental midgets, I may not see as far as the guy on the shoulders of giants, but, if I need to I'll just pile up more midgets or go for a walk.

What are you programming in now?

TIOBE has published their yearly Programming Community Index and it got me thinking... What is the most commonly used programming language in the Slashdot community? What language did you learn in the last year?
Personally, I've just started working in Groovy this year which has entered the TIOBE list at number 35. The biggest mover on this list seems to be Lua and Lua's rank on this list is enough for me to decide to check it out.

Why do we need all these new languages? Sure, Python and Ruby are much cleaner and cooler than their predecessors, but has there really been a paradigm shift to take us past what we already have? Objected Oriented techniques and languages are pretty mature now. Mature as in strong, maintainable and useful, not as in old and decrepit. So now, a lot of code is still being done in C, C++ and Java, and I'm seeing a lot of Python and Perl in my little niche. I mean, they're all Turing complete.

Probably C or Java, the former by the old-timers and the latter by the younger demographic here. Unfortunately my language of choice gets trashed here regularly, because the old-timers think it's noticeably less efficient than C, and they don't need no fancy OOP crap. And for the younguns, it's just too damn hard for them to learn it, esp. as alternative, scaled-down versions of it have grown in popularity.
