I'd probably go

Rust, Typescript, C++, Go, Java, OCaml, Python, Javascript, Matlab, PHP, SystemVerilog, CMake, C, Bash

Ok I will make this site. :)



Oh I left PHP and Go out of my list, my subconscious blocked them out of existence. They'd be near the bottom anyway. I suppose Go with polymorphic types might be worth another look, but before that it was dead to me.


I feel like Go is a so-so language with amazing infrastructure. How many other languages come with built in easy cross compilation, fuzzing, PGO, etc?

It is really unsurpassed in that regard, which is probably partly why it is so popular in DevOps. If only the language was a bit better...

It's definitely not a bad language like PHP though.


A Subconscious that doesn’t want to admit it, not every “good language” makes it to the next round
