Favorite programming languages?

I use Ruby for scripts and small microservices. I really love the metaprogramming stuff. If Ruby is not an option, I try to use the best tool for the job. I hate Python, C++, JS because I don't like how they are designed. Also I'm flirting with Rust.

I hate Python, C++

I am sorely disappointed.

I used to like Python, but the lack of functional patterns and the version conflicts made me change to Ruby once I learned Lisp.
About C++, well, I don't like things like multi-inheritance and some other features.

Well, you don't have to use multi-inheritance. What about C?

You are right thought, I don't have to use it, but I feel more comfortable if that feature is completely ditched.

I like C if the point is performance, memory management and the architecture is not OO.

You should check out crystal, I think you would like it.

Ruby syntax, type-checked and native compiled, looks nice. Will give it a try.

Its more than that, its also ruby cleaned up, and the community seems to know what immutability is.

Ruby can freeze objects, but the internals are all about mutations. That's what allows metaprogramming and OOP in Ruby itself.

4 months later

C and C++, everything else feels floaty and unsafe so I always end up floating back to my -W -Wall -Werror -g

C# and Python. Started with C# and recently moved on to Python. I like the latter a bit more. Planning on learning C++ soon.

>liking python more than C#

What has the world come to, liking dynamic languages over strongly typed ones?

Enjoy your proprietary runtime ;D

But tbh, C# does look pretty slick. I'm just not really a fan of it's AFAIK somewhat iffy cross-platform support.

The cross-platform support isn't the best, but they are working on it, since Microsoft realized that Free Software is what the cool kids do now.

Java is probbly my goto language. I guess that makes it my favorite?

I have the most fun when I'm messing around with bash scripts though.
