My favorite programming language is C++. There’s something about a sadistic warty goblin that’ll let you make your own mistakes that I find endearing.

For when I want to write productive software, nothing beats Go cumulative average in portability, ease of use, and performance. Every other language for me has shortcomings that result in a worse developer experience for frankly irrelevant games considering the applications I write.

I’m also quite partial to PHP, especially 8, as it’s done a lot to tighten up the language. Most websites I write anymore are PHP (vanilla or Laravel-based). Plus, for an interpreted language PHP makes the smart little choices that make developing larger applications with it manageable.
