Thanks for answering. What is your favorite programming language to work in? If you could use any language you wanted, what would be your top pick?



Well, this is highly subjective. I'm paid to do python and node js from time to time and python really rocks for me. Not a small reason why I like python more is for the much better tracebacks. When looked in a console, it is much more pleasant to have the erroring line at the bottom which spares me copying the entire console in npp in trying to find the top of it.

That said, I know many blind devs who do java, c#, swift, c++ and so on. I had bad experiences with ide-s when I was starting to study software development on those languages and it've stayed with me, but it is not universal.

If I had the choice, I would not drop python, but I might add some of the functional languages or rust for the new ways of thinking they might teach me. So far, I've looked at them, but I haven't done nothing serious there.


Interesting, thanks for sharing!
