- omnicognate 3y agoC++ and Python. Probably Rust too at some point in the future, but while I love using it my own time I wouldn't recommend its use in my working environment yet. This is not a universal thing. I wouldn't recommend these languages for every problem and there are lots of places where C# and others definitely makes a lot more sense (including, arguably, the problem domain in my last role). It's just what I like to work with and what is best suited to the work that I do and enjoy.

If you were doing something embedded, or specialized. Maybe that is thing. On other hand. I also used to love .NET, but when I tried using Python, I did have to agree Python was really fast for simple cranking out little programs.
- omnicognate 3y ago"Business" also covers a lot. I work in a specialised part of finance, but specialised requirements aren't rare. There is an enormous amount of software written across the world that fits well into the middle ground catered for by .NET, but there is also a lot that doesn't.
