I've been coding since the 90s and IMO experienced programmers just learn whatever the right tool is for the job and have no allegiance to any specific language or technology. At the end of the day it's about getting things done.

And by the way, the programming language ‘Python’ has nothing to do with the python snake. Most Python books have snakes on their cover

Call Lex a tourist without calling him a tourist.

Asking which is the best programming language is like asking which is the best tool for repairing stuff.

Who is writing assembly? All the DSP processing in car speakers, earbuds, soundbars, home speakers is written in assembly. Audio, video and file compression codecs have their FFT and other transforms written in assembly. Edit: Some of the GPU HPC code is written in assembly. Nvidia PTX assembly is used to get more performance instead of writing CUDA code.

I am very old and been around computing since 1970s. Never heard SQL called squeel.

The comments really highlight the difference between Prime and Lex's audiences

I use C# pretty much for everything - backend services, mobile apps, web development. It's cross platform and beautifully designed. Who loves C# 👇

I firstly saw the guest video teaching me how to use VIM. Now, he's on Lex's show—what a change!

It has been understated how important functional languages might be to the learning process at some point in the journey. These languages are brilliant for teaching recursive and iterative approaches to problems that you need to at least be aware of to choose to reject or implement those types of solutions. Without a functional language teaching you these things, you may be unaware that you can do these sorts of things, and might just apply a for loop to every problem.

The best programming language is the one you're using

Java is my fav... it never gets the love it deserves
@em00k
Assembly is still the number one way to write for older & retro systems for best performance. Nearly every day I am writing some Z80 assembly.

We shouldn't call this the year 2025. We should call it 25 because the initial release date of ffmpeg is when we entered a new era.
@ErazerPT
"i love bash... oh, as a programming language... noooo, nooo". Omg, that was such a burn... Recently vocalized almost that about Powershell, but with a lot more colorful language and expletives.
@jazzweather
C/C++ is the only language which can do it all, every programmer should learn it even if they don't use it.
@terryhatfield4253
First language to learn is BASIC!!! Strips away all the extras/overhead and lets you learn concepts. Arrays, variables, loops, decision branching. BASIC!!!!
@TJ-hs1qm
I love Scala 3. It's the Archlinux of programming languages.
@adriangpuiu
here is my top 3 programming languages : 1. English, 2.JS, 3. Python
