Ruby is my go-to language on pretty much anything. Elegant, simple, powerful, and mature. I also like Elixir, Go Lang, and TypeScript depending on the domain and the problem to solve.

JavaScript is my choice due to its flexibility, extensive ecosystem of libraries and frameworks (such as React and Angular), and its ability to create dynamic and interactive user interfaces.

My favorite programming language is Python because of its simplicity and versatility, making it perfect for everything from web development to data science. It's incredibly beginner-friendly, yet powerful enough for complex applications.

Depends on what I'm building. My very first choice is Rust - performant, safe, clear and concise.

@zignis What are some of the things you can build with Rust?
Gaurav
@benjamin_sloutsky you should be asking "what you can't build with rust". I use it everywhere I am allowed to, web servers, cli programs, performant parsers, proxy servers and so much more.

If you asked me this question a year ago, I would've probably said C# due to how close it is to being perfect in my eyes. However, these days I'd have to say JavaScript/TypeScript due to its versatility - you can use it everywhere! Though I do still love C#, I can't imagine building anything aside from desktop apps with it 🫣

I'm a data person, so for me its got to be - Python. The newer and existing libraries and frameworks also keep getting better. I'm sure the answer will vary as per the job and role of the programmer - gamers might say C/C#, web-developers are likely to say JavaScript, etc
