I really like Java. Also Go, C, LISP. I find most of the languages I like are very pragmatic. I'm much more interested in getting stuff done than being clever.

I really like Java. Also Go, C, LISP. I find most of the languages I like are very pragmatic. I'm much more interested in getting stuff done than being clever. I used to quite like C++ but it seems like a minefield of features and gotchas these days. I'm very much a fan of the principle of least astonishment. I feel like Java manages that well and not being a kitchen sink language aids in that.
