Loved is not the same as produced the fastest and most stable software. Allowing that:

Applesoft Basic (as a hobbyist)
VB4, VB5, and VB6 (as a paid* developer)
Transact-SQL

Languages that I have used a lot and did not love so much include COBOL and VB.NET (I worked in a shop that was heavily Basic oriented).

* I could say professional, but I always felt I was a paid amateur (not meant as an self-insult, just a statement).
