Ask HN: Which programming language would you use if it was 1995 again?

I'd invent JavaScript, but this time do it right.

Visual Basic 4. Classic VB was and still is, the easiest way to develop windows applications. I'd know that there would be a seamless upgrade to vb6 and that all the noughties warnings of obsolescence were groundless and that any application would be guaranteed to be supported on Windows for at least 30 years

Then again Java would probably be a better choice in terms of employability
