We did an informal poll around the Hackaday bunker and decided that, for most of us, our favorite programming language is solder. We thought it would be interesting to ask you what you think is the “top” language these days and why. The post argues that as AI coding “help” becomes more ubiquitous, you will care less and less about what language you use. This is analogous to how most programmers today don’t really care about the machine language instruction set. In the old days, a single book on a language could set it on fire.
