Everything from Perl onwards still sees frequent use. Awk one-liners, but not serious programs. C-- was wonderful, a sort of C-like autocoder for DOS where you'd drop into assembler for the hard bits, which compiled to tiny .com files.

These days my first choice is Rust but I'm still getting competent at that so I may fall back to Perl for something quick.

I know just enough bash to see where the footguns are and write in a different language instead.

And I just accidentally overwrote all of my work from the last two hours on today's Advent of Code

Looks like I'll have to try to complete it and tomorrow's problems tomorrow. 😢

-- I am Bartosz, living in Warsaw, PL. I am disappointed with the ways the today's technologies are expanding and their commercial side killing the curiousness and innovation. Programming can be a great character-building tool, can be entertaining and educational. Perhaps I have found an interesting direction. #6502
