    Clojure, hands down.

    It:

    • jives perfectly with the way I want to think about programming
    • very little syntax; It’s Just Data(tm)
    • REPL-driven development is at the core of its design
    • backwards compatibility is a core tenet
    • has a wonderful and helpful community
    • can run basically anywhere
    • has a dialect to fit your use-case (Clojure, Clojurescript, Babashka, ClojureDart, ClojureCLR, jank)

    I’ve long held the opinion that Clojure criminally underused in business settings; it basically checks all the boxes for a dependable, consistent, performant language.
