It seems like there are about ~~22~~ ~~27~~ ~~46~~ ~~219~~ ~~320~~ ~~493~~ 1840 active subscribers here. I have a few questions for you all.

  • Which programming languages do you regularly use?
  • Which are your favorite to work with and why?
  • Which do you have interest in trying and why?

Professionally, I mostly use Kotlin, Typescript, and Java.

For fun, I've recently been using BQN, which is quite nice compared to J, which I had been previously using. I also use Elm, Rust, Python and a smattering of others.

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.

I've only heard of nim thanks to the discourse around Mojo, i'll check it out !

How is nim related to mojo?

There is a perspective that Nim kinda sorta writes/looks like a compiled Python. It also seems to get mentioned everywhere.
