BlitzMax probably strikes the best balance between pleasure of coding and functionality, but Java and C# are both around that happy point too. C# isn't Windows only though, it's just some parts of the .Net Framework which are Windows only.
I also find Lua to be a delight to program in, but it's hard to compare a scripting language with programming language. I do think that a scripting language which has dynamic (and fairly weak) typing works well with a programming language which has static (and fairly strong) typing though. Perhaps that's just me though.
