What programming languages do you genuinely love, and which do you simply use when you have to?

Love to use this little guy on Windows

I genuinely love to use lisp and lua

is a sign of love becoming irrational and emotional when people notice its flaws?
I feel that way about my code because it's MY code, but I can't stake a claim on the language I use

is lua really that good

>>105685075
If you are looking for something lightweight and useful for embedding / scripting I cant think of a better language. Surprisingly versatile. Works well with C/C++. Really clean, easy to read syntax.

>>105684860 (OP)
love c#, it's such an elegant language now compared to what it was a decade ago. js/ts use when i have to. i don't even mind js as a lang (ts can get fucked though) but it's more that you're probably writing stupid bullshit if you're using it to begin with.

its fun and fast to write but aids to read imo, i love it for prototyping but i probably wouldn't build anything big with it because i don't want to be reading chicken scratch and struggling with piss poor debugging when trying to track down a difficult bug. that being said it's so barebones that if your code is really that bad it's your own fault really, but something about it just makes me code vomit into a single file.

If you don't hate the languages you use, you haven't been using them for long enough.

Go is my current favorite. Super simple and readable with painless package management. Great standard library.

C is pretty fun to go fully autistic with memory but I despise fumbling with the multitude of build systems and what not.

It took me 6 months of working in an Enterprise Grade™ role to hate Java or at the very least Spring. I’m on 5 years of professional and personal Go development and still love it. Everything has its weaknesses but some languages are mostly pleasure with a few annoyances and some are mostly annoyances.

lmao I feel like only zoomers like python and thats just from lack awareness

Any language without a type system is a disaster waiting to happen

any language with garbage collection is a disaster waiting to happen

lmao java has been doing fine for decades
cope and seethe rust tranny

Type systems are a plus but they aren’t be-all end-all. Erlang and Elixir are dynamically typed yet most of the headache I would get from Ruby, Python etc. is eliminated because of pattern matching. I wish they were statically typed (and Elixir is in the works to get a TS-esque gradual typing system) but they are otherwise well designed languages so the downside of dynamic typing isn’t that bad. Meanwhile Scala is statically, strongly typed and is so dogshit clusterfucked that its typing system is outweighed by everything else

>>105686342
Pattern matching accomplishes similar things, I think of types in the more mathematical sense where you have mappings between sets, groups, and categories. Being able to operate upon what something intrinsically is is vital

>>105686342
another big reason type issues are not as big of a problem in Elixir as they are in, say, Python, is because supervisors allow for trivial handling of raised errors in a manner such that the rest of the program does not just crash. You just let the process with the edge case type issue crash hard and have your supervisor log it for a later investigation.

If you are on a mixed skill level team types are better if you are on a team of chads then dynamic mogs.

I love Lisp and hate everything else.

>>105684860 (OP)
Replace lua with bash and remove go then you have a great list

This is your brain on rust

This isn't unique to rust doebeit.

It's just clear to read.

I love Ada and Lisp, but when i just need to do something quickly, I write a perl script

>>105684860 (OP)
Love:
Go
C
Java/Kotlin
Python

Have to use:
Javascript/Typescript
I really hate it but it brings food to the table as of now
