  • Which programming languages do you regularly use?
  • Which are your favorite to work with and why?
  • Which do you have interest in trying and why?

    Regularly use: Common Lisp (SBCL mainly) and Crystal.

    Favorite to work with: same as above. They seem to match how I think well, so it’s easy to solve problems in them. Their speed is also a nice bonus, as is Common Lisp’s debugging and image-based development. I also really like how Crystal feels like a dynamic language (it’s very reminiscent of Ruby), yet is still statically typed and compiled.

    Interest in trying: m68k assembly for some ungodly reason lol

      You’re in the lead for the most unexpected reply. I didn’t know that Crystal had any industry use. I didn’t know mIuch about it though. I simply knew it existed.

      I prefer to keep assembly behind the compilers it might as well be flipping individual bits to me.
