If it is for myself: murex (my own DevOps focused shell: https://murex.rocks https://murex.rocks) If it is for work: either Bash or whatever that companies preferred software development language (over the last ~20 years that's included: Pascal, Visual Basic, PL/SQL, Perl, PHP, Python, Typescript and others I've likely forgotten. Different companies will have different preferences) If performance matters then these days Go is my "goto" language because it's a good compromise in terms of developer productivity and application performance. But I've used Java, C and C++ too. Depending on the particular problem I'm trying to solve. ...and if you ask me again in 5 years then the answer will be completely different again. The sort answer is: there's no such thing as a single answer. Everyone will have their own preferences and business requirements.
