Re:Ask HN: How many programming languages are you proficient... by mikewarot on Sunday October 09, 2022 @10:14PM (#33147139)
I've done assembler, basic, forth, fortran, pascal, Delphi, VBA, HTML, ASP, Python, Octave. I've actively avoided C for 40 years, but some nerd sniping finally got me.

I tried Rust, and the borrow checker was a huge red flag for me. The idea of "owning" the value of a variable was too weird.

I'll stick to Free Pascal, C, Assembler and STOIC, it turns out I'm a fan of VERY STRONG type checking.

APL does look interesting
