I want to distinguish between the hype and the real world.

Java and Javascript. By Javascript, I mean in the browser and NodeJS. I am trying to get approval to switch to Deno. They are willing to use Rust 'someday', but so far we aren't.
Go and Javascript with some legacy Ruby and Python
Ruby, Java, Typescript, Javascript
I'm currently using: C, C++, ARM assembly, some Python, and some C#.
C, C++ and some Python
What do you do?
I have to interact with a platform called Mulesoft which has its own DSL for message transformation.

It's an API interconnection tool. It's for big organizations or governments and if anybody here on HN is considering it I cannot express how bad the DX is for engineers unfortunate enough to be saddled with this "enterprise solution"

Go for backends, Typescript for Frontend and Pulumi
C, Rust, and Typescript.
What do you do?
Which ones aren't we using?

I get the "opportunity" to be a shitty developer in multiple languages all at the same time - Python, Scala, Angular, and Java, to name a few main ones.

All these people naming just one language (or even 2) are making me jealous. I'd probably be less shitty if I got to focus.

I don't think that being able to develop in multiple languages implies that you're going to be bad at developing in those languages at all.

I've been a dev for a very long time, and am competent in a lot of different languages (expert in far fewer, of course). But I don't use all of those languages all the time. I use the one(s) that are relevant to whatever my current project is. That's usually just one or two at a time.

I guess I'm just garbage
Ruby as the main language
