In which modern language/environment/framework is programming a joy?
jhancock: smalltalk.  specifically, Digitalk's Smalltalk/V (DOS, Windows, OS/2, Mac) and their final version Visual Smalltalk Enterprise.  I have never been more productive than with that environment.  Squeak doesn't do it for me.[EDIT] earlier today I cleaned out several bookshelves. I tossed about 100 old tech manuals...I kept all the Smalltalk/V books ;)
