A well-known quote from Bjarne Stroustrup the creator of C++:
There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.
I can definitely understand the sentiment of this having experience with a number of popular and not-so-popular languages in my career from C and C++ to Python, Java, Kotlin, Go, Rust, and even Ada.
To try something positive I am going to write about some points I like from my favorite languages, why I like them, and why I might choose to use one over another.
