I think the trophy goes to SQL 🏆
But honourable mention for Python and maybe even JavaScript too 🏅🏅
I swear it took me years to be able to read SQL somehow.
I know the feeling I learned it twice and then forgot it because I was not using it at all. Now having to get back up to speed with it again. The

Curious to hear what other people think though.
