At the risk of starting yet another language vs. language war, I will share with you some thoughts that have been rattling around in my pea-sized brain;
Actionscript 2 - fun, easy. Pre-requisite to AS3 and/or flex.
Actionscript 3 - This is by far my favorite language. For brevity, I will just say that it allows me to do a great many things, in a scripting/interactive environment that allows me to work on 'fun' stuff (such as Papervision 3D).
C# - Pound for pound,vs the compiled langs Java, C++ and C just don't stack up to it (jvm sucks, C++ is very confusing, and C, well just leave that to the experts as pg says). Depending on what you are doing it is only marginally slower than C++, but you (I) can develop ~3 times faster. YMMV.
Ha ha. I've found C to be easier to understand then the plus-plus version; but then, I have not gone that far with it. I'll definitely give up some time with the C's and Actionsript in the future however. Thanks for the advice.
