Of course, the wonderful thing about programming languages is that, like
editors, there are so many to choose from and everyone can find one that
they find enjoyment using.
I really like C, and Rust, and Haskell, and Lisp, and Python, and
Erlang, and many others. Some others I enjoy quite a bit less than
these. And all of them can be used to write good programs and bad
programs.
