Python. Python is the most popular language designed in EU. EPFL is not even in EU
- epolanski 9mo agoOthers worth mentioning are Kotlin, Ada, Pascal, Haskell, Zig, Erlang, Elixir, Prolog, Ocaml.
- rapnie 9mo agoFormer EU, there's Gleam.

- homebrewer 9mo agoKotlin is from St Petersburg, it's even named after an island near it.
