• The fact that GL nukes dead accounts is a deal-breaker for me.
• I've just learned about Code-Berg, it seems interesting.

• I may delete "Yours" branches if their corresponding pull-request is merged/closed.

• in practice: This takes into account all the stuff related to the langs (portability, documentation, std+community tools & libraries, ecosystem, etc...):

  0. JS. I'm ashamed of admitting it 🤦.
  1. Bash & POSIX Shell
  2. 🦀Rs
     • I love its honesty: It has abstractions that are leaky by design.

     Rust [is] both as low-level as C, and as high-level as Lisp, whereas most other popular languages are stuck somewhere in the middle.

  3. Py.
     • My fav argument against Py's colons is:

     The colons are an extra visual clue to scanning the blocks. As such, they improve readability, one of Python's main strengths.

     Then Opening and closing braces should be called an "extra visual clue to scanning the block" in C++ and Java? Because they improved readability. Braces ({) then is C++, Java's main Strength.

  4. TS. It should be top#3 (mostly because of conditional types), but:
     • Py & Rs have better support for iterators
     • TS sits in an "awkward middle" between "type-safe scripting" (JSDoc) and "amazing dev-xp, requires building" (Rs)

• in theory (idealized): This only takes into account the langs in isolation (type-system, syntax & grammar, stdlib, etc...):

  0. 🦀Rust. For everything.
  1. Any lang written in shapes that intuitively correspond to their semantics (such as BF dialects, and modern APL derivatives)

🧠Expertise: This takes into account my knowledge of the lang (and everything directly related to it), and my experience making useful, efficient, and correct/safe software in it. This is subject to D.K., I'll try my best to list in an accurate order:

0. A.R.T. REs, I'm expert at ⚡optimizing them 🚀; DSV (almost any dialect).
1. AM
2. JS
3. TS
4. 🦀Rs
5. POSIX sh
6. Bash
7. MKSh
8. Py
9. Scratch
10. HTML5
11. CSS3
12. SVG1
13. BF

0. 💾Assembly
   • UVM
   • RISC-V
1. Bend & Kind, because of HVM
2. 🕊Ada
   • It statically-checks ranges at the type-system level! something that Pkl does, but Rust and TS don't:

   -- 32bit target arch
   type Integer is range -(2 ** 31) .. +(2 ** 31 - 1);
   -- I love this so much that
   -- I hate Py and Rust in comparison 😭

3. (Common Lisp)

   • Despite using it my entire life, this beast is so bloated/complex that I know less than ~1/8 about it
