For all the shit I give C# (some of my complaints are getting better with everything becoming open source), it's still by far my favorite language. I picked it up when Visual Studio 2008 was relatively new and coming from PHP and C++ (to ASP.Net/C#) was very eye opening and though I had a lot of learning problems because of webforms, the core C# language definitely has me captured. C# is my "not quick one off" language. When I want a one-off, I use Ruby because it's quick and easy... but when I need more than 1 file and I'll be dealing with lots of classes and complications that come with that, give me C#. I've tried getting to know Rust, but despite my love for it's core ideas and syntax I just can't get into it for the projects I've had. Most of my projects don't tend to be things where I care about strict memory requirements or ridiculous performance. I mainly just want something that works good enough for my own use. I also tried Go, but I quickly left that when I found it had no generic support and the community is basically anti-functional constructs, preferring pure procedural stuff instead.
