What's your favourite programming language? Any particular reason like difficulty/learning curve, job prospect, tools, etc.
For me personally, it's Rust, one reason is that I love all the tools integrated into Cargo, the language's syntax that just works like how I think, and the memory/thread safety in safe Rust.
I always see myself using it in some way, even in my own programming language that's written in C, guess what going to make all of the documentation (html/man pages), exactly it's Rust!
Please feel free to comment your favourite language and some reasons of why.

My current favorite is C#. It is nice and mature. I don't like the complexity of
dotnetbut at least things are united. Microsoft provides dependency injection, entity framework, configuration framework, and web framework. I also miss functional features such as discriminated union. Also, some tutorials are seriously old.If I get more chance to use F# and Kotlin, my favorite language might change.
JavaScript for sure!!🙋♀️🌺
I would have to say Java because it is my first real serious language even though I started out years ago with Basic on a TSR-80 and Qbasic on Windows 95 and up and came up on a set of 3.5 Borland C++ installation disks before I knew what C++ even was.
I like C# as it's not much different from Java in the world of OOP languages and Pythons simplicity just makes coding some tasks a breeze. If Python was a band, it would be the equivalent to the Beach Boys lol
Haskell - you can express your mental concepts very clearly. Sometimes I find myself solving a problem in Haskell as it allows you to concentrate on the essentials and then recoding the solution in the environment I need it in.
C++, though I wish it would adopt #circlelang 's features.
Javascript Ohh Yeahh!!
I now use mostly Javascript but I have learned Java and Python but so far I think Java would be my favorite if I had to choose
I really like Elixir. The syntax is very pleasing, it is easy to get started and the functional approach to solving problems just makes more sense. The code gets very composable, testable and it is fun to write.
It also has extraordinary docs.
Right now it's Go. I also love D and Lua. Really I just love learning new programming languages.
Don't jump to conclusions. First of all I started programming with Visual Basic 6. Then I learned C, C++ (not much, actually) and I learned C#, it was really great, I even could do some projects as a freelancer. But after that I got hired in a company and they wanted me to learn Java and JavaScript, so I wanted the job and I learned them. And now I'm majoring in AI, so started learning Python.
Between all of these languages my favorites really are:
My favorite language is JavaScript, because I started with JS about 11 months ago. I feel that I can easily learn this language, and I already work as a JS frontend. But I also like Python, I studied for a short time and I want to study again this year!
Good.
Stopped using that concept any more. Any language is good as long as it does the job I want, even better it is a mean of having a good bank account.
Usually frameworks and languages choose you and you don;t have the ability to choose. Also at any language shitty code exists and someone has to fix it like it or not. Being me fixing shitty code keeps my bank account happy.
A technology I don't want to work with though is .NET .
That still doesn't mean a developer can't have a preference
I just find useless for me to have preference, cause usually I won't work on it. The only way to work in tech stack I want is via doing it by myself in my own projects.
That is indeed the case most of the time.
Is DSA is required for doing Frontend stuff ?
Dsa is good to know in any kind of development because it teaches you how to write efficient code, so learn it if you can.
My favourite language is Kotlin, because it has everything that i wanted like, how it compiles to target different set of platforms by which i can make various types of applications, its interoperability with other languages, different paradigms that it supports, its modern syntax and idiomatic style, coroutines, tools, its features that i cannot find in other languages, how much object-oriented and functional it is that we can make our own dsl(s), it is useful for scripting too, and u can find even more advantages of kotlin in my blog post:
