Ask HN: What's your programming language of choice for side projects?
2 points by _xivi on May 2, 2023 | hide | past | favorite | 5 comments


Depends on the side project. C++, Java, and Perl are the languages I am familiar with, in that order. If the problem is the right kind of problem (picking values out of a text file, mainly) then I'll use Perl. Otherwise, C++ or Java, whichever seems like a better fit.


Clojure!

Most stuffs with fewest typings. And so many elegances.


Ruby (on Rails) or Go.


Mostly Python.


Go OR python.
