Go gives me confidence which key for imposter syndrome.
I like v because it uses the c backend instead of llvm or wasm. it's really fast
F# is awesome! One would think it'd be more popular
I just discovered nim and it seems nifty

It used to be C++ but I got tired of being a language lawyer over time. Rust is my current favorite since it does the language lawyering for me, but it's not a strong favorite. I'm waiting for Zig to hit 1.0 (which will be a while) since it hits a sweet spot for me.
Golang. This is simply awesome in every way. A perfect balance between performance, resource usage and productivity
I only do raster graphics image processing, so G'MIC it is. A entire coding language and it's a library in of by itself for that.
On non-DSL, don't have a fave. I'll choose one of these: Python, C++, C#.
Damn just fuck python I guess
Typescript! Solves all of the problems that JavaScript has, and it is absolutely a blast to play with the (Turing Complete!!) type system.
Short answer: C.
Long answer: depends on the task.
Longer answer: bash for scripting in general, kotlin for android, C++ 'cos i have to maintain it but it's far from favorite, PHP if i were to do web backends. My to-learn list includes COBOL, Ada and maybe Rust (waiting for all the hype and evangelists to die down a bit). Something functional like Erland or Scala would be interesting just to fuck around with the brain a bit.
Any particular goals with Ada? Had an academic curiosity for a few years but never used it in earnest.
That's pretty much it: academic curiosity.
