I would like to know what programming language you use, why you made this choice and for what tasks it is used.

TypeScript, because I like programming for the web, which is also my profession. Not a huge amount of choice in that space.

Otherwise I like the fish shell scripting language, very simple, very comfortable. Much smoother than bash. Has definitely helped me simplify all my helper scripts and made them more robust and less error-prone.

I'd like to learn OCaml next. Seems like fun. And maybe zig. Widely different, I imagine.
