Programming languages #

A list of programming languages that I am interested in on some level. Some I know well, some barely, and currently only one intimately (Python).

• Ada, for its formal correctness and “design by contract”
• bash, which has a certain austere old-school Unix elegance to it
• Haskell, a beautiful and abstract language that appeals to the mathematician in me
• Ink, a hobby language that looks very nice.
• Julia, for scientific programming, though the hype and the shine seem to be coming off this language a little lately
• Go, Google’s fast and easy-to-learn (supposedly) language.
• Lua, a scripting language particularly popular for game development
• Lisp, which drives emacs, and which is almost insane in its simplicity and timeless ingenuity
• Python, the old workhorse, with some nice new features added in recent versions
• Rust, fast, sensible, solid, modern
• Typescript, JavaScript with types, which is actually pretty nice
