Programming Language Poll - The Results Are In!
Here are the totals from the Programming Languages Poll.
NOTE: If someone mentioned MS Robotics Studio and C#, then this counted in both the Robotics Studio and C# counts. Some people listed multiple languages, so these got counted each time too.
The winner (by far) is NXT-G. I think this comes from the fact that the NXT-G software ships with the retail kit, and is the first programming language most people see when the use the NXT.
UPDATE: Ulli posted a link in the comments to the CindyScript language and and example of how it's used with the NXT. Thanx Ulli!

Comments
I was the one who voted for CindyScript... actually there are currently only two people who ever used this for the NXT, because nobody else knows it... however, it's the software I used to control the robot in my gravity controlled robot video. Basically, it's a scripting language that is primarily for mathematics, in particular geometry, and it is documented quite well. We added several new functions, for example nxtmotor(i,speed) and nxtdistance() that allow for communication with a bluetooth connected NXT. So, no upload to the robot, but a very quick development cycle.
