FORTH, but not because I actually use it regularly. A stack-based zero-operand postfix language? Every routine/word you define is like solving a puzzle.

I like typescript because it's all I've used for the last 3 years and I now think in it

COBOL, because I loathe myself and don't want to be happy
Bash for quick scripts, Ruby for some smaller scripts, Golang has been a favourite as of late due to integration into the ecosystem with k8s,p8s, envoy..
VBA because it plays nicely with Microsoft apps , especially Excel. It also plays nicely with SolidWorks, which is the primary software that i use
Favorite? Kotlin generally speaking, but I use Python the most and like it quite much as well. Can't beat Python's time for zero to something useful running and you will find bindings and frameworks for anything.
C++ for anything performance sensitive, or running anything on my Synology NAS.
I like writing mostly just script. I enjoy writing stuff in bash and lua. Its simple and quick. I have been trying to learn some C to do things with mirocontrollers but its a slow process....
I like natural speech. Its quite chaotic but if you know how to write it well, it works
Go
It's like C with better syntax and without memory management annoyances. It also comes with a decent standard library and making concurrent programs is a breeze. As a bonus it generates static binaries which, granted, are big but in most cases can be copied to any other Linux workstation and executed directly.
