My first was Matlab. Most used is probably python, and then you get into my professional niche, VHDL, C, TCL.

    I started my career programming in C for an embedded controller, but have since moved on to C#, which is by far my favourite. I’ve also dabbled some in Python and a lot in Javascript, but I much prefer type-safe languages in general. Python’'s whitespace-oriented design also rubs me the wrong way.

    C# has come a long way since I started using it, and it now being both OS- agnostic and well suited for backend services has made it my go-to for personal projects. Frontend applications are still written in JS, however much that hurts me.

      C is pretty much the only real option for embedded stuff. At least the white-space blocks of python allow the code a certain amount of enforced readability. To prove a point to someone I once wrote a section of code where I alternated space and tab for incremental blocks. I played with C# in visual studio once about a decade ago. I did not have a good experience with it. I should probably learn a little JS.
