There's only three languages that I've enjoyed writing in are:

Basic
Basic HTML
Palm E-Book Format

With Basic I got good enough at it to single-handedly write an entire database program to track scheduled employee absences, and dealt with issues like coming up with a way to update a suspense date that is a certain number of workdays in the future (disregarding weekends). I designed it so that the first time you entered a date it would ask you what was the date that is 3 days in the future, and would use that date when I updated future scheduled employee absences.

With Basic HTML, and the Palm E-Book Format, I liked the simplicity of the formats. The formatting was easy to work with and reliable.
