Programming

@ericjmorey@beehaw.org Clojure(Script/Dart) is the way, I really want to get into Elixir at some point though!

• I work with Java, but like messing around in C# and Kotlin
• Definitely Kotlin
• I'm thinking of getting into Rust or Go one day, because they seem cool

C & Postscript. Been using both since the mid-80s. The programming I do for work is CNC related. I don't learn new things.

Work:

• C/C++
• Python
• Matlab (don't use this one)

Personal:

• Julia
• Rust
• Fortran (trying out something specific rn)

My favorites right now are Julia & Rust. In their respective fields they're a breath of fresh air and I enjoy coding in them so much. If Carbon ever manages to get off the ground floor I'll be interested in trying it out. Regular C++ has too many footguns

I most regularly use Python, followed by MATLAB C++. Python has been practically mandatory for writing code for my undergrad research. My classmates usually know "a little" Python, and it's pretty easy to pick up on the fly. I'm trying to phase out MATLAB for Python seeing as I'll be graduating soon and my student license will run out. I know about Octave, but work done in Python is probably easier to integrate.

My favorite is C++. It's the first language I learned and it feels like home. It gives me enough abstractions to get actual work done, but it also has the low-level tools I need ~~to shoot myself in the foot~~ for working with Arduino or other microcontrollers.

I'm looking into Rust for audio programming. Although audio programming is done almost exclusively in C++ these days, Rust's safety features without performance penalties look like a promising language to write fast and reliable code suitable for real-time operation. Joining Lemmy and seeing how it compared to Kbin has cemented my interest in the language because so far, despite the bugs I've run into, Lemmy and Jerboa has been fast above all.

C#, JS, SQL, and (AB) PLC Ladder Logic.

I really like working in the dotnet ecosystem; it's well maintained and supported. I'm fairly weak in JS and find it a bit frustrating at times. Mostly because it seems that packages are obsolete or abandoned by the time I'm done reading the docs. I know enough SQL to be dangerous.

Everyone seems to like Rust, maybe I should see what all the fuss is about.

• Go and Terraform/helm (sorta counts) for work. Rust at home. I usually need to interpret Python at home as well, I have some Home Assistant setups but not actively using it.
• Rust is great, it has a learning curve I'm getting used to with syntax vs. Go but I'm getting the hang of it. I would love to find work where I use Rust daily.
• Right now I'm interested in Rust, so gonna go that route. The Bicep config for Azure looks interesting, so hopefully will try that out sooner or later.

C# with Unity. I sometimes write in VB for its form controls or VB/A for its spreadsheet interface.

For work I currently use C and python mainly, and for some personal projects I've been using python backends with JS/Vue frontends.

I really enjoy Python, but as I use it more I've found the quality of the docs to be an impediment. They're hard to reference quickly.

I really want to start using Rust, but it's not really applicable to the kinds of projects I'm currently working on. I've started picking up some Clojure and PHP for two open source projects that I've started contributing to.

Learnt Java first, then moved on to c# and dotnet. Job meant I needed to learn c, then shudder managed c++ then plain c++. Got pretty good at c++ and then moved on to Rust and haven't looked back, had to also pick up python recently. At some point I also learnt f# and a bit of haskell.

• Bash and Lua, though I'm a bit out of practice with Lua.
• Both for different tasks. Bash is great for just getting shit done, Lua for when I need a bit more finesse than Bash can manage.
• I'm open-minded. Definitely want to learn Python since it's so popular (and thus I could fix broken python scripts once I understand it), but I'm up for most things really. Just need a good usecase so I don't get bored and drop whatever I try to pick up.

I mostly regularly use JavaScript. For a decade I worked as a front end developer for an enterprise web product. I've since moved into UX leadership, but still program for fun when I can find the time. I tend to use React/Node/Postgres because it's what I'm comfortable with. It lets me keep my skills sharp, experiment with UI patterns, and solve problems for myself. I don't find myself experimenting with new languages or frameworks as much anymore.

I don't have any professional experience or ambitions, but:

Use nim for personal projects. It feels like there is less boilerplate than others I've tried and it felt more natural to me than python. Faster than python and compiles. Plus has a javascript backend option. Pretty neat language all in all and does an ok job from scripting to web.

Interest in trying? Probably Kotlin. Seems like another language with wide utility.

• Go, typescript for work; Rust, C# at home
• The simplicity of go is very welcome, rust is nice because it feels like I can do anything yet it nonetheless keeps me from being too stupid.
• I've dabbled in SBCL and Haskell before, but I'd like to take the time to properly learn one of them

I mostly use C# which is honestly also my favorite. I would like to get more into Python for some machine learning stuff.
