I know PHP, HTML, CSS, JS, POSIX shell, Common Lisp.

I'm pretty good at most of them, except for PHP & JS-- I can use them, but it takes more effort and my work probably isn't as good as in other languages.

fluent in Python, lots of Bash, some Lua/Go/JS i can't say i know C cause i only read and not write in it. Rust is what i an learning now and it will probably be my next language to learn in depth.

I've started learning Rust about a year ago, it's my favorite language now. Really love everything about it.

it's so much easier for people with systems background, i still struggle with stuff like when to dereference and the static typing.

I do understand that, the thing I struggled the most with was the borrowing system and lifetimes.

The compiler gives good errors and warnings though so all in my experience I didn't get stuck on something for too long (in contrast to C++).

My favourite has to be C#. It's the language I've used for years, and the one I'm just best with. It pains me how MS controlled and windows-centric it is.

I know Python... kinda. Syntax is fine but when it comes to doing anything more than a simple in-and-out console script I'm clueless. I've been meaning to look into the various graphics and UI libraries but I've never gotten far.

I know Lua solely because of the Love2D framework, and it's nice to work with, even with its little quirks (the arrays (or Tables, as they're called) start at 1...)

Oh yeah forgot about Lua, really like the language for how simple and easy to implement in another language it is.

Imagine starting a sequence of numbers at 1. Who would do that?

Honestly I was poking fun at the convention that counting starts from zero, which blows the minds of the many programming newbies who count like they do on Sesame Street.

The amount of lua scripts I've looked at with -1s jammed in every for loop (usually with a comment complaining) is crazy.
