Good point. Lately I have been learning Swift and SwiftUI and application sizes for macOS and iOS tend to be very small. Except for not being a lazy evaluation language, Swift development feels a little like Haskell, which to me is a good thing. I learned Swift back when TensorFlow for Swift was released and having one language that is adequate for many types of applications is useful. That said, when I want to be happy programming I try to use Common Lisp or Racket. I am approaching my 40 year anniversary for using Common Lisp and there is definitely something really great about deep familiarity with a language and it’s dev tools. EDIT: also +1 for FreePascal. Someone hired me to use FreePascal on a project several years ago. Good language, small learning curve, and small and efficient applications. On small application sizes: I recently discovered that if you build SBCL Common Lisp from source, there is a compression option for building standalone applications that you can enable that gets application size down to about 15 MB, with application startup around 75 milliseconds.
