smalltalk, prolog, forth and APL are awesome. They are so different than other programming languages. They are cool in their own way.

My preferences go to C and, of course Gwion.
As a side note, I tried Haskell and loved it 😄

Typescript.

It has almost all the type safety of Java and C#, but it's a much more flexible system. And it's got all the fun of JavaScript, but the type system kills most of the crazy perks JavaScript has.

The only downside is setting up a build system and integrating JavaScript libraries, which sometimes don't mesh well with the type system.

When I first met C# it was love at first sight ❤️ 😄

Some years later its still C# and also TypeScript (both server-/client-side)

...huh. I hate that stuff. Even in 2019, with ECMAScript being what it is?

Hands down. Decided to write up a bunch of articles on using it.

Basically it is a compiled scripting language, with low level power.

The compile time execution makes for very powerful code generation and is fun.

Java, Python, and C. Out of those three, I would say Java (and other java-based languages) are the ones I use the most.

I would have to say Java and C, as those are the only languages I'd feel comfortable developing an application in right now.

I get that, I have almost no knowledge of the CPU or the deep working of a computer I think I will look in to it though.

some one forcing me is how I learned all I know about JVM based languages.
