What do developers want?

I would like to know which is the most loved or most hated programming language in the DEV community.
Tell me which is your favorite language and if you want your opinion too.

If you want to know what are the most used programming languages and technologies you can get an idea by looking at the links below.

There is no best or worst, only fittest for a given situation. I love kotlin, but will still prefer python for data science, typescript for front end, or go for low latency backends.

That being said, I must admit I have currently a crush on Kotlin: concise, type safe (with type inference), multi platform, OOP and functional. Extension functions are unique concepts that are so handy!

Honorable mentions : python (I miss the *args and **kwargs), rust (memory management at compile time!), go (concurrency and speed, tooling).
