What’s everyone’s favourite language? Why?

Python & C#

English for compatibility reasons even though I constantly mess it and I can get too bugged

PHP

Gonna get hate for saying this but, JS.

@Dacexi 😡😡

HTML

My heart beats for c++

Whatever that gets job done.

C. Makes me feel incredibly smart and stupid simultaneously.

C#, got to use it for work and began to like it.

C#

English. I've used it since I was a very young child!

VHDL

Its so fun !!

Maybe I'll try Q# soon

C++ !!!

@LeFlawk

I want to try rust.

I like rust but the amount of compilation errors I get is just annoying

To be honest. Probably JS (specifically TypeScript) when it comes to web. Ruby for console scripts. C# for GUI, C++ for OpenGL work. :)
I lately started playing around with Go, it looks really fun :)

Yeah, I really like go :)

Kotlin

Ruby, makes everything sounds like what you did before was stupid until you tried it. But I'd like to learn Rust and use Python in the future 😍

The Almighty JavaScript. The little guy was developed in 10 days and became the backbone of webpages and look how far it has come:

Frontend development,
back end development,
desktop app development,
mobile app development,
machine learning,
deep learning,
3D gaming

you name it! The little guy can handle it. Yeah it has its quirks and downs, which language doesn't but darn it!, its an awesome language to work with and I'm completely in love with it.

@diavel Wow, I never knew it was developed in 10 days!

@diavel it's an ok language forced into places it shouldn't be. Other then web, it is not the best at anything else. As for 3D gaming, WebAssembly will soon command that area of the web.

@zacg , yeah it was initially called mocha when it was being developed and when it was shipped it was named Live script.

JavaScript turned 22 last year, Dec 4th 1995, we're the same age. :)

A few know this.

Elixir at the moment, it’s very familiar to me coming from a heavy Ruby/Python background and I can get really great performance and full utilization of computer hardware with it. It has some really clean concepts for organizing your code (e.g. umbrella applications) It also comes with OTP which really helps with not reinventing the wheel.

C#, I just really like it.

It's kinda like Java, but without the Java

PHP, yeah, for real. (also JS, yes, I'm saying this voluntarely)

AHK because I'm a hipster

I'm liking Esperanto so far.

Times New Roman

I’m likely to receive hate on my answer. But I’m going to say I enjoy writing in Objective-C. Swift is pretty great as well.

Objective-C is a mature language, and powerful in many ways. Swift being a new modern language, but will require some time to mature.

Ruby.
It has lots of sugar, and writing it just feels so natural. Also, I adore chaining, and being able to write a one-liner in Ruby that would take 10+ lines in another language is just wonderful.

@Root I like massive one liners but they are usually horrible for readability. I've never used ruby so wouldn't really know but I have written massive linq chains in C# that I had to break down so that others could understand them!

@Wozza365 Ruby is very very easy to understand, so it's usually not a problem.

(I have still seen horrible, unreadable one-liners, though! I try not to write those 😋)

@legionfrontier English has wierd syntax

@heeMan Comic Sans

@cafecortado noodle code!

Swiss German, because a lot of people outside of the country don't understand you.

I am surprised how seldom Java was mentioned here. I like it :-)

Also ruby and Js and typescript is nice.

PPPPPPPPP-PYTHONN

Python all day, every day

I've learned Ruby in a time where Visual Basic and PHP where the "ones" with my classmates. So I loved things like chaining, procs and lambdas and the easy syntax.

Since then, Python and JS took a lot of my time. But Ruby will allways be the one!

My favourite is Perl. Very handy language for sysadmins.

@sudoguy I keep on meaning to try perl
