5If you try to find me on so called "social media", you won't. It's nothing more
6than a collection of mega marketing platforms tricking people into giving up
7their time and privacy for marketing goals. Here is a

16To avoid creating a long list I will name the languages I feel worth naming,
17and leave out languages like
18.I brainfuck ,
19markup languages and other non-programming languages. I've worked as a so called
20.I "development engineer" ,
21so I've come in contact with a lot of different languages during that time.

25or the language of Unix is the main language I use and which is by far my
26favorite. It's fast, precise and, given a good hacker, can look absolutely
27beautiful. C was one of the first languages I learned using.

51an advanced, purely functional programming language. It's amazing
52for purely mathematical functions and of course works for most other things
53too. Its so called lazy evaluation makes it easy to work with large to
54infinite data sets.

80is another language I like to use, not for it's ^hyper optimized
81performance^, but for it's fast way of prototyping ideas. Python is almost
82never the language I use for a finished result.

89.LI JavaScript
90is NOT a language I use, anymore. I used to use it quite a lot for a while,
91writing so called web applications. They often worked very well at first, but
92due to web applications nature they grew too much and too fast, and web browsers
93can never find any common way of implementing JavaScript. JavaScript is also a
94nightmare to debug due to its "forgiving nature" and willingness to ignore
95errors instead of failing hard when it should. JavaScriptjust accepts anything
96you throw at it, and not in a good way. Global variables makes your life a
97living hell, where you never know what will and have affected them. Avoid it!
