Basically anything on the JVM or .NET. I used to use Java and C#, had to use C++.NET for a job, and now I'm just done. I much prefer compiled languages and scripting languages, and I don't see much of a need for something in between. I also don't like working with Windows or Android, so there's not much reason for me to care.

For actual preferences, I use and like Go, I'm playing with Rust quite a bit, and I use Python, Lua, and JavaScript for simpler tasks. I'm also somewhat interested in Nim and Swift, but the latter just doesn't seem interested in being truly cross platform and I don't have any Apple devices, so it's in hold for now.
