I most regularly use Python, followed by MATLAB C++. Python has been practically mandatory for writing code for my undergrad research. My classmates usually know "a little" Python, and it's pretty easy to pick up on the fly. I'm trying to phase out MATLAB for Python seeing as I'll be graduating soon and my student license will run out. I know about Octave, but work done in Python is probably easier to integrate.

My favorite is C++. It's the first language I learned and it feels like home. It gives me enough abstractions to get actual work done, but it also has the low-level tools I need ~~to shoot myself in the foot~~ for working with Arduino or other microcontrollers.

I'm looking into Rust for audio programming. Although audio programming is done almost exclusively in C++ these days, Rust's safety features without performance penalties look like a promising language to write fast and reliable code suitable for real-time operation. Joining Lemmy and seeing how it compared to Kbin has cemented my interest in the language because so far, despite the bugs I've run into, Lemmy and Jerboa has been fast above all.

Work:

C/C++
Python
Matlab (don't use this one)

Personal:

Julia
Rust
Fortran (trying out something specific rn)

My favorites right now are Julia & Rust. In their respective fields they're a breath of fresh air and I enjoy coding in them so much. If Carbon ever manages to get off the ground floor I'll be interested in trying it out. Regular C++ has too many footguns

Julia was interesting, I worked through a tutorial using Pluto and it seemed nicely designed.

Have you had Odin on your radar as a C++ replacement?

[–] Sinfaen@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I haven't heard of it actually, I'll take a look

Just learned a new word footgun. I love it, so true of C++.

C#, JS, SQL, and (AB) PLC Ladder Logic.

I really like working in the dotnet ecosystem; it's well maintained and supported. I'm fairly weak in JS and find it a bit frustrating at times. Mostly because it seems that packages are obsolete or abandoned by the time I'm done reading the docs. I know enough SQL to be dangerous.

Everyone seems to like Rust, maybe I should see what all the fuss is about.

I work with Java, but like messing around in C# and Kotlin
Definitely Kotlin
I'm thinking of getting into Rust or Go one day, because they seem cool

I mostly use C# which is honestly also my favorite. I would like to get more into Python for some machine learning stuff.

[–] ericjmorey@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you looked at Kaggle's learning resources for machine learning?

[–] DanNZN@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 year ago

I will have to check those out, thanks!

It's not really a coding language but I use SQL a lot for work. Occasionally Python and R. As you can probably imagine with this list, I'm a data scientist.

My favorite to work with is actually autohotkey, which I use to automate stuff, because it can be a fun little challenge to figure out how to automate based on the system it's running on and what I'm trying to do.
