Depends on what brings you joy.

Update: Ok, non-glib serious comment: the "joy" of programming is highly subjective and the author might want to consider a different byline to avoid confusion. A "creative" or "hobby" programming lanugage for "experimentation," might make the point better.

Personally I don't find much joy in C-like languages as they're all approximately the same to me... and the "joy of programming," is less about syntax than semantics and form.

I believe the pleasure you derive from a language largely depends on what you use it for. What a language can truly offer is increased convenience and efficiency.
