It pains me seeing people recommend javascript.

    I'm not a developer (yet?). What's your preferred backend language? C#? Python? Rust? Java?

      Ahh gotcha! Sorry if I came off a little hostile, I'm in the middle of begging the developers at work to not write any more nodejs apps because they're all dumpster fires that no one maintains (making them my problem, and I really fucking hate javascript)

      I like Ruby best for web servers without major performance requirements, and for general-purpose utilities and scripts. For high-performance webservers I like Clojure, Java is boring and a bloated but ultimately fine. Super curious about Rust and Elixir, but won't use them for anything that isn't toy-project shaped until they have more robust tooling and community support
