perhaps this is an obvious statement... The best language depends on the way in which your program works. Having used C++ extensively, my program designs naturally fit easily into that language. I'm sure a lisp programmer would think of better solutions that would only work in lisp. As far as languages about restriction, well.... #&$* those languages. I make sharper turns without training wheels thank you very much.
