Clojure for me. It's a Lisp with good library support and documentation.

Why the fuck would anybody use homo shit like that? Fukken skids thinking they're cool.

backend = go, cli apps, apps that need performance = rust

edit; I can tell you, haven't programmed, at all if you think there is one favorite language
every language has its purpose, I'm tired of having to tell this to every skid who wrote a line in python

object pascal - fast compile easily written been around for awhile good performance can be compiled to most platforms the list goes on

You're pretty much correct here.

You misunderstand me. I didn't say that my favorite language was THE BEST. I simply said that it's my favorite. You'd obviously have to program in HTML for front end on web, CSS when you want to make it pretty, Javascript when you want client side action, Node.js based Javascript or some other language for the back end, C/C++ or Rust or similar for something like IoT or Imbedded devices or anything that still needs that real fast/compact performance, Slang if you're working for Goldman Sachs, Cobolt if you're working for most other banks (or IRS or similar), or whatever language the "killer app" is in for whatever tech you NEED to have access to.

I understand the nuance. I'm not claiming a "BEST". I just asked it as a kind of nerdy "what's your favorite color". Please be kind in your assumptions. Cheers!

Go seems nice. I learned it to play with it a while ago but never REALLY exploited it. Rust is also way way WAY nicer then C, where you can get away with it. Gotta love that "I can't believe it's not" garbage collection.

I know I'm not cool. I like what I like. I also like Root Bear and Cream Soda. Liking Clojure makes me about as cool as liking those things...not very. ;)

I have been mainly programming in JS and Node, but will be learning python and hopefully go soom

Python is much easier

Depends what you're using it for. I have a favorite language per use case I encounter.

Just learn python and C and you can pretty much read and work with any language.

Python is a fun language. I wish you luck with it. I'm sure it'll be easier then your work on Javascript.

I concur.

I'm curious, what's the first scenario you encountered where you found that to not be the case?
