A quick app? For me, C.
Knife has a point in that we'll use what's available and comfortable, but that's just where Pascal left off with myself and cohorts. Too many years in binary then assembly to have ever fallen in love with Pascal. Expecially on micros.

The early Lisa/Mac years were a special kind of hell.
