I'm always ridiculed by my choice of language and get told it's a "meme language"
But I just want to know what is the language that is the least bad and also used in the industry.
Post why language X is the true language by telling me it's strengths, weaknesses, and how much its used in the industry.
Do your own homework.

If [language x] can do what you want to do, then it is a fine language. Grow a spine: Do not let other people decide what you like.

It's funny. Every time I use a new language, or go back to an old favourite, it becomes my favorite language for a time. Static typing? Wonderful error messages! Dynamic typing? It does what I want! Functional programming? This is the future of programming! Object-oriented programming? I can describe the world! Low level? My code is fast. High level? My code is *expressive.
Is this normal or is it just me? Don't you come to like, or love, a new language? Every time I do something different I realize how good things could be. But this is just a case of "the grass is greener on the other side" I guess.
english. If you have a sufficiently strong grasp of social interactions, you can have others do the work, while you are paid more highly! Yes my friend: management lingo is the most used language in the industry. Here's a primer: "agile" "zeitgeist" "onboarding" "leverage".

I've only learned a lang so I'm not sure.
I just wanna know whats the best out there so I don't waste time soul searching a lang
>>54370321
that if has no else for me to execute

>I just wanna know whats the best out there
There is no "best".

Learn java, Ruby, haskell, racket, Javascript, prolog, C, and perl.
Then realize that it is stupid to ask "What is the best tool in a toolbox?" or "What is the best car for every task?" or "What is the best shoe for any occasion?"

other way around. Every time I switch languages or environments I find all the little things to bitch about
>ugh I have put this in a class
>ugh I have to declare "var"
>ugh I have to write "$" to access variables
>fucking scope
>fucking pointers
>fucking null pointers
scope is a bitch when every language handles it ever-so-slightly differently

Depends on the application. What kind of programs do you want to write?
>>54370500
ai
web backend
cli utilities (ncurses too)
maybe at least one fps (for fun)

Golang:

It's used quite a lot in the web industry now, there are a small number of startups that have become very successful in a short time, crediting go as the driving force(see: docker). Has adoption by large established multinationals like IBM, Google and Uber.
The biggest weakness is of course still the immaturity of the documentation and amount of libraries and code available to learn from.

I agree with this.
