I have focused on JVM, CLR and C++ the last 20 years.

Of course I also used many other programming languages throughout my studies and career.

The fun is more what we build, not with what.

For example, the cool thing in a recent project was taking measurements from medical data readers used by health care laboratory robots.

The programming language wasn't relevant for the experience.

Pain can definitely come from what you use to build though.

The fun part is about the list not the languages themselves. Benchmarks, reviews and rankings are just the perfect time killers for me but job oriented lists have nothing new to say for now.
