    I’m certainly not a person who has strong opinions about programming languages. My personal and professional decision graph around language choice is:

    flowchart TD
    A[What language<br/>are you most familiar with?] --> B{Will it get<br/>the job done?}
    B -->|Yes| C[Use that language.]
    B -->|No| D[Repeat.]
    D --> A

    That said, I do break out languages according to the task:

    The JobThe Languages
    Application development.NET and TypeScript (stack used for my day job)
    Data science and engineeringPython and/or .NET (via Flowthru)
    Game developmentTypeScript, .NET, and Lua
    Web developmentTypeScript and/or .NET (via Blazor)
