What's your favourite programming language?

    What's the use case? For heavy stat stuff, R. For embedded stuff, C. For stuff that neatly fits into a functional paradigm, Haskell. For general purpose stuff, Kotlin.

    There's no one size fits all 🙂

    I like c and c++ for hobby projects. Everything else probably Java because I know it quite well.

    Purescript

    Programmers are artists, let them paint!

    Python.
    Because I know its magic pretty well.
    It brings me the fastest development and the most human readable code, with really loose coupling at really magical level. Python is surely freedom to me.

    Surely going to miss its features in other languages.

    PHP

    @Ranchonyx what hobby is that?

    @curiousjoe Oh I do some low level programming. I recently hacked together a sort of microkernel/OS thing, wrote a couple "drivers" for basic stuff and I enjoy rom hacking on gameboy advance and such

    C & C++.. I need to think more and clean up after myself.

    Javascript because I think it's an ideal choose for somebody who is in web development, and it has many functionalities, having fun to use it.

    Java ☕

    @AlmondSauce except F# ;) nah, even that size doesn’t fit all, I have to admit. Still, it would fill the boots for both Haskell and Kotlin.

    All in all, besides F#, I’ve really grown to like C, Rust, Kotlin, Pharo and PHP (yeah, I actually really like it since 8.0). There are a bunch of langs I’m excited to get to know better, so I guess the list’ll keep a changing. But it’s hard to imagine anything being nicer than F#

    Obvs the lang to choose depends on a bunch of things, but this was about the favorite one, not the most useful one neccessarily 🤷🏻‍♂️ and for those who like JS or Python the best: shame on you! (Jk… no, not really. Just questioning your sanity)

    @100110111 I don't recall ever actually using it - most of my drive to learn a new language these days is based on commercial need, and I haven't seen that advertised much at all.

    Elixir :)

    More like what's the language I can withstand using, they all suck, yeah, your favourite programming language sucks and your code sucks too and that has nothing to do with the language.

    I use what works for whatever am doing.
