I've used Java most of my life as I found it easy to start out with (a lot of low level stuff is automated, and not to forget, VMs do optimize at runtime nowadays). It still works well, especially in complex requirements I found it to be my language of choice.
For web projects, obviously it's almost impossible to avoid using JavaScript. I find myself in conflict over the latter. While I do like the flexibility of a weakly typed language at the same time I hate it. Sometimes it can make life so much easier and then it again it starts causing misery.
One thing, however, that I really miss with Java are Closures, would make my life so much easier. How many times have I implemented interfaces in dummy or anonymous classes just to get business logic into the right spot for a listener or something similar...
