What $LANG would you use if you had the time to dedicate to the project and were rewriting it starting today? Why would you choose $LANG?

(Not an attack -- a genuine question because I'm interested in your choice and reasoning.)

I’m not faulting you at all, but... different people know different tools, place premiums on different features, and of reach different conclusions as to what they wish to use. It's just an opinion, and comparing opinions is such a sterile exercise.

Whatever value you assign to $LANG, you will always encounter a denizen on HackerNews that disparages $LANG and would've used $LANG-prime, but by not actually moving first to start a project to achieve that aim with the tool of their choice, they kind-of ceded their right to criticise.

That’s my point of view, at least: don't criticise the artist's choice of tools. It's rude.
