I definitely used to think in Java, but after so many slow programs it started to make me feel slow lol (I know I'm crazy).

I mostly think in JavaScript and Python now. Python for scattered and unspecific thought and JS, specifically ES6, for anything general and organized. C++ is really reserved for thoughts that need really precise organization. I'm a bad speller (good grammar though), so typing can feel like the spelling of coding. I don't make mistakes with it like with spelling, but it feels like a boring specific that stops my ability to freely flow logically. Sometimes over specificity is necessary for really logically sensitive thought...

Yeah, like I said I know I'm crazy lol.
