I enjoy learning new programming languages. My favorite that I've played around with is Elixir. But I don't see that ever being used at my current job.

The language I reach for the most is C#. LINQ is great and the base libraries are solid. Plus, the industry I'm in (building controls) is largely Windows based, so that obviously influences that choice.

I really enjoy the concepts and syntax of OCaml, but I've repeatedly lost of the battle of making it work on Windows.

The JVM has become much more popular in the building controls industry in the last decade. So I've been thinking of picking up a JVM language this year. Trying to decide between Clojure and Kotlin.
