Big Kotlin fan.

Similar reasons to the commenter that talked about using a world class runtime, but the JVM is tested and works.

And now I can use Kotlin to make cross platform applications, while still utilizing the Java knowledge that I unfortunately possess? Perfect!

I don't like writing Rust but I choose Rust. I like Microsoft Java also

GW Basic

C

Teraterm scripting language.

Relatively useless, but did in the past use it to remotely control a DVD recorder, with relays on the LEDs of a 2400bps modem hooked to the channel up and record buttons.

Also to generate a Web page showing account balances for dialup customers in the 90s.

Now, to switch analog and digital inputs for our community radio station via telnet.

Rust, easily.

I’d pick JavaScript, mostly because of the ecosystem (even though we could argue about this point 😅)

I’d love to give Rust a try however I don’t have much time nor want to dedicate to coding in my spare time!
