> I would love to hear what he thinks a good programming language is

not OP, but outside of extreme performance critical software I MUCH prefer Swift, C# or python.

C# is really good, but is Swift good enough as true general-purpose language for every platform and OS?

Swift and every platform? You sure about that? Isn't it the case that the releases for Windows and Linux are quite a bit behind MacOS?

Python? Jesus. One of the worst languages. Half of the community doesn't use static types, `import` is hilariously bonkers. Until very recently (uv) the tooling was absolutely atrocious (they still haven't fixed that dependency confusion issue). Insanely slow.
