I would say "Most Hyped", perception of what we love is shaped by the internet opinions. I doubt many people do Rust as part of their job or even hobby projects. On the other hand Sharepoint and Objective-C is part of our day to day routine...
I... Love Scala.

It's just a really flexible language, while it has its warts, I feel they almost got it in combining the best of FP and OO.

I was a SharePoint developer in previous life. End-users love SharePoint, but it's a headache to maintain and debug. I think there is only a very small use-case where you will actually need some *.wsp developed. I use Nintex Workflow + Forms the rest of the time.

That being said, SharePoint devs gets paid well :)

The question was based on languages which you currently use and whether you would like to continue using them, little to do with "Most Hyped" or "Internet opinions"
