Programming languages thread

What programming languages do you know? What are some cool things about them?

C++: template metaprogramming + zero overhead principle make for god tier power language when you have complete mastery

Python: super easy to create interfaces to other code using swig. Numpy

Haskell: Purely Functional, Guard syntax, Template Haskell, Lazy eval, referential transparency, etc.

C, C++, amd64 asm, arm asm, go, java, scheme, python, promela, bash, erlang, elixir, javascript, standard ML, pascal, lua, zig, rust, LLVM IR, QBE IR

After developing with 10+ languages, python is really all you need.

Agreed - python makes everything simple and awesome.

Except brackets, useful syntax not based on lonty memes and oop

bbased

rust as compiled language

python as scripting language


nothing more is needed

>shitting on java
t. js script kiddie

I really like Crystal's type inferencing capabilities
Erlang/Elixir's deeply integrated pattern matching is really neat

I've come to hate any language that lacks basic modern conveniences like iterators or simple functional methods (map, filter, reduce, etc)
