IMHO it is more important that you can reason why you chose a language as your Happiness/Hacking/Bread-n-Butter languange, than which language you chose. I think it's perfectly valid to have a language in more than one category.
- dagw 16y agoHappiness: Python because it has such an amazing number of really fun libraries like numpy,matplotlib,openopt,mayavi, pybrain,simpy etc. etc. Clojure is a close second, but I think it might catch up with python as a) I get better at it and b) more interesting numeric libraries start to show up Hacking: Python, because I know python really well, it has a very complete set of libraries and when all is said and done, for most tasks, I'll simply finish it faster in python than in any other language. BnB: Python, because my last two jobs have been working on python apps. But also more and more javascript as we are moving some of our stuff to webapps.
