What is the purpose of this quiz, and what is the incentive for completing it? I ask because it certainly is a let down when one carefully goes through the list picking their pics, and then explaining them in the comment before submitting, then getting neither an explanation as to why this is being asked, nor a running tally.

Everything that might be interesting about it has been omitted.

Good question. My favorite language is the one that made me the most money in 2019 and will continue to do so in 2020.

Also the OP has the "favorite language" list in a particular order, which makes it almost obvious of what their favorite language is...

It's a rather pointless/useless survey. I'm nevertheless surprised by the omission of kotlin.

Dart, because Flutter.

I actually like Dart even outside of the context of flutter. The toolchain is on par with go in terms of ease of use and simplicity. The language is really high level and simple to use, it can compile to native, and it's only getting better.

What sucks is the ecosystem, hopefully that changes so it can become my goto language for more general-purpose programming.
