It'd my understanding that C has stuck around in the UNIX world for so long, nearly half a century, mostly due to the inertia of legacy code.
If you could snap your fingers and magically port/fork the entire stack of open source codebases to the language of your choice, which would you pick and why?
What is the programming language you enjoy the most, or otherwise define as your favourite? Why is that particular language your favourite?
Bonus: add just a little bit of code in it that you think exposes its beauty.
I think there's often a discrepancy between what people program in for work and for pleasure, and I thought it'd be fun to do a survey of tildes users.
And what are you doing with them, I want ti know and I think others do to.
