I currently do lots of stuff in bash and Python. In the past wrote a device driver in C (only once though), several FORTRAN programs, a LaTeX package in TeX for drawing scalebars on maps, https://ctan.org/pkg/scalebar
Now for fun I'm trying to learn Haskell. It's way harder than any of the above! 🙂
@nixCraft these days ocaml. Menhir is just good enough I haven't bothered to branch out to other parser generators. For some reason I always end up writing a grammar somewhere in my projects.
@nixCraft depending on what it is, POSIX shell or Go.
It used to be Perl and POSIX shell, I don’t really know how I drifted away from Perl, but it just doesn’t click in the same way for me these days.
@nixCraft For some reason vlang piqued my interest as an improved golang in many ways. But that language also still needs a lot of work. Other than that Rust and Kotlin. :KotlinFroge:
@nixCraft My projects (side or otherwise) usually start as quick-and-dirty hacks, which means, for me, they start in bash. If I'm working on something in a less serious frame of mind, it's probably bash.
