python for scripting and leetcode, C++ for competitive programming, racket for trusting the natural recursion, C# for getting paid lol (depends on your location tho)

tbh if your CS fundamentals are good you really ought to be able to pick up any new language or framework in short order. the hangups people have over language x vs y are way too overblown and anyone who spends too much time worrying about it is missing the forest for the trees

i will say i'm glad that even the web dev circus is coming around on the benefits of static typing nowadays

Its more about the logic than the syntax. You can look up the syntax, but a glossary wont teach you the logic.

to me, computer science has always been fun because i look at it as solving a puzzle.

Recently learned Lua which I think is charming for its simplicity. (Except for being 1-indexed that is)

I also have a soft spot for (Bourne) Shell script. There's something about its clunkiness that manages to make even Bash feel modern.

But for any serious development beyond scripts, my favorite atm is probably Go.
