What programming languages aren't too criticized here? (lemmy.fbmac.net)

It feels like anything is mowed down on the internet. I've been a dev for a long time too, and I never feel sure when I chose a stack for a new toy project (in my day job I rarely get to chose, so that's a non issue there)

Every languages has their own pitfalls. The answer on picking a language is to pick whatever works for you. There may be even domain-specific languages if you're interested in a domain, and it can be way more flexible than general-purpose solutions for that domain too.

I use 4 languages.

  1. C++ for adding features to a program.
  2. C# for making .dll for an application (Paint.NET). Kinda similar purpose to what I do with G'MIC, except so much more limited.
  3. Python for processing strings
  4. G'MIC for creating/editing raster graphics images (volumetric too)

Now, I wish there was a vector equivalent to G'MIC, but there isn't.
