Java for me. I started using it at my most recent job and was a little horrified initially at what I was seeing in our codebase. The syntax does you no favors when in comes to code formatting. I also had reservations about the overhead of a strongly typed language as it was my first. BUT I ended up really enjoying the language and strong typing gives back so much more than it takes. Pleasantly surprised in the end.
