The following table clearly shows that based on the number of articles
posted on topic, the best language is Colin James III, often called cj3.

Jokes aside, I've been examining various languages for the planned
reimplementation of a large project.  smalltalk and lisp seems
to be far ahead of the pack due to the existance of extrordinarily
powerful commercial development environments, checkout IBM's VisualAge
for smalltalk and the Franz, Inc. CLOS products.

Let me anticipate a few responses by saying that VB and VC++ are good
for prototyping, but in my experience, they are poor at growing large
projects once the dialogue boxes are layed out.  From what I've seen
in such multifaceted large projects as the infamous emacs, this is
not the case for Lisp and similar languages which are truer to the
OO paradigm.
