That is a healthy option imo, it's not a terrible lang or anything like that; it just gets way more praise and has seen too much growth that it has yet to earn.

My preference is C for personal projects; I like the freedom. C# because I work with .NET a lot; some might say too much, i get weary of it sometimes. Python is kind of goofy, but it's useful and easy enough to use that I don't mind it's presence in my work. I will never work with Java professionally ever again if I can help it; I don't like the JVM; working with Android was the final killing blow, i hate mobile dev. simply because they often have me work with ART and i just can't do it with any real enjoyment. Golang is odd, and I have yet to find any real use for it. The Rust community is pretty unsettling in their dedication, and they seem to actively lie if you question it's usefulness in a specific situation, so i'm weary of their advice. NodeJS is useful, but truly awful to maintain after the fact. It's also quite nonsensical; I would still spend the extra time just using php or python (with flask), Node is also far too bloated and the bottlenecks seem to make my life only more difficult anytime I try to make something even remotely performant without just throwing load-balancers onto every node website I've ever worked on... not worth it. NIM is by far my favorite; I don't know why, but I love it, it's the language i would build if I had the time. And... C++ has way too many options to do one thing that it confuses most solutions when I've ran into problems, it's just too much. Something I've learned over the years is that the choice of tool, before you even start on a project, must be taken seriously; if you mess that up, you will be paying for it for potentially years to come.
