Elisp and Common Lisp for me, although I still use bash in the terminal.

I use nushell for the terminal, but it's too nu for LLMs expecting a normal shell. I use blesh to rice my bash shell and it's even better than my Nu experience sometimes.

I think going back to the fundamentals and revisiting what works is a luxury developers have in the post AI era. Lisp is decades olds, but Paul Graham called it the Maxwell Equations of PLs for a very good reason. Uncle Bob holds it in high regard as well, and the future of the industry could be very fruitful applying their wisdom.
