For me its C# and Python, though I like Rust, D and lately been getting into Nim. I want to like Lisp, but its just not something I see someone paying me to work in.



C# for real work, Python for scripting or specific use-cases where it has excellent library support & Golang if I need something closer to C or very lightweight or easy for people to understand.

Rust is interesting but the compile times aren't great.


I use Python for real work too, but my current employer does not use it as much.


It's too dynamic/slow for me and the dependency system is a mess to the point where the entire Javascript world is better. Actually I forgot TypeScript, been using that for more than a decade now. So much better than the dark old days of JavaScript :)
