Ask HN: What programming languages are you using at $WORK?
I want to distinguish between the hype and the real world.
- mr_o47 3y agoIt really depends, 1. I'm currently using Scala and Java. I am pretty new to Scala and I haven't really used it or worked with that language but have to learn it since our product is built using Scala
- davesnx 3y agoOCaml
- Communitivity 3y agoJava and Javascript. By Javascript, I mean in the browser and NodeJS. I am trying to get approval to switch to Deno. They are willing to use Rust 'someday', but so far we aren't.
- spacedcowboy 3y agoObjective C. Why yes, I do work at Apple...
- chunkyguy 3y agoBest choice.
- jjcinaz 3y agoGo and Javascript with some legacy Ruby and Python
- jstx1 3y agohttps://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#technology-most-popular-technologies https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#technology-most-popula...
- ferennag 3y agoRuby, Java, Typescript, Javascript
- JohnFen 3y agoI'm currently using: C, C++, ARM assembly, some Python, and some C#.
- gsch1 3y agoJava and Python
- codegeek 3y agoPHP and C# .NET Core.
- flemhans 3y agoSame combo
- continuational 3y agoScala almost exclusively
- 8b16380d 3y agoPython and typescript
- max2124 3y agoC, C++ and some Python
- gaws 3y agoWhat do you do?
- JamesBarney 3y agoC#/.NET Core
- dirtybirdnj 3y agoI have to interact with a platform called Mulesoft which has its own DSL for message transformation. It's an API interconnection tool. It's for big organizations or governments and if anybody here on HN is considering it I cannot express how bad the DX is for engineers unfortunate enough to be saddled with this "enterprise solution"
- gourabmi 3y agoErlang
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- bithavoc 3y agoGo for backends, Typescript for Frontend and Pulumi
- duped 3y agoC, Rust, and Typescript.
- gaws 3y agoWhat do you do?
- llamajams 3y agoC++, c# , python
- giantg2 3y agoWhich ones aren't we using? I get the "opportunity" to be a shitty developer in multiple languages all at the same time - Python, Scala, Angular, and Java, to name a few main ones. All these people naming just one language (or even 2) are making me jealous. I'd probably be less shitty if I got to focus.
- JohnFen 3y agoI don't think that being able to develop in multiple languages implies that you're going to be bad at developing in those languages at all. I've been a dev for a very long time, and am competent in a lot of different languages (expert in far fewer, of course). But I don't use all of those languages all the time. I use the one(s) that are relevant to whatever my current project is. That's usually just one or two at a time.
- giantg2 3y agoI guess I'm just garbage
- gls2ro 3y agoRuby as the main language
- tipsytoad 3y agoPython, C++
- gaws 3y agoWhat do you do?
- isanjay 3y agoC#/.NET
- bonniesimon 3y agoRuby & Javascript
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoC++, some Java.
- ActorNightly 3y ago"Whichever the legacy code was written in" is going to be the overarching answer. Python and Node are usually the choice for newer web facing stuff, which is the majority of cs work these days.
- francisofascii 3y agoASP.NET Core/C# with Vue. Older projects are with Angular.
- lunarimiso 3y agoMany... Java, C, Python, Groovy, SQL, some Perl and Erlang(but migrating to Elixir). Thats some of em.
- ajk251 3y agoC#, JavaScript, Uniface
- bashbjorn 3y agoPython, Typescript, Nim, Rust, C++, C and Elm.
- flyingfences 3y agoGNU C99 for dev, Python 3 for V&V
- hightrix 3y agoc#, c++, typescript, javascript, python
- potta_coffee 3y agoGolang, Python, Terraform.
- schwartzworld 3y agoTypescript all day long. We also have java devs.
- cunningfatalist 3y agoPHP, Go, and TypeScript. I like them all.
- Fahata 3y agoJava and TypeScript
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- metaltyphoon 3y agoC, C#, Go
- chunkyguy 3y agoSwift, Kotlin, C#, Javascript
- solumunus 3y agoTypescript, both front and back end with SvelteKit. There are silly foot guns in JavaScript and I wish the language was designed better, but aside from that there’s huge benefit to doing everything in one language and not having to context switch. My validation logic and data types are identical across front and back end, that’s hard to beat for me. I’m building a traditional business ERP and Node is plenty fast for that.
- simon_void 3y agoserver-side Kotlin, Java (which soon becomes Kotlin if I'm in charge of the codebase) and some Rust. Groovy for Jenkins configuration.
- floydnoel 3y agoJavaScript (for both React and Express) is all I use for work, unless you want to count HTML/CSS. For personal projects I also use Swift and sometimes Python/GDScript.
- thealphamerc 3y agoI use Javascript, Typescript for web and dart for Mobile app development
- lotsoweiners 3y agoI use mostly .net/c#, lots of sql, some JavaScript/jquery. Keep in mind though that asking this on HackerNews (or any website to be honest) is automatically not representative of the real world. Vast majority of programmers I’ve met or worked with just did their jobs and go home while paying very little attention to trends, niches, or programming communities.
