It depends on what you are trying to do and what programming idioms you prefer.
What kind of tasks do you work on? Recommended programming languages for web development are quite different from embedded programming work. I may prefer Clojure for some tasks, but Rust for other tasks.
The programming language that I am most productive in may not be your preference. Some people prefer Rust for low-level tasks, while others prefer C++ because they have used it for decades.
- Aerbil313 3y agoWhich is the one you feel yourself most productive in?
- thesuperbigfrog 3y agoFor what task? I do not use a hammer when I need to tighten bolts, but when I need to drive nails I use a hammer. ("Use the right tool for the job at hand.")
- Aerbil313 3y agoI clarified the submission, yet let me specify a task: CLI tools to fetch, store and manipulate textual data and files. Maybe very simple GUIs.
- thesuperbigfrog 3y ago>> CLI tools to fetch, store and manipulate textual data and files. Maybe very simple GUIs. Perl is great for this type of work. It is designed for concise text manipulation and it is very easy to be productive with a minimal amount of code: https://opensource.com/article/22/2/text-based-code-perl https://opensource.com/article/22/2/text-based-code-perl
