After learning BASIC, I remember wanting to learn FORTRAN, LISP, Pascal, Ada, C/C++, ASM, COBOL. It was going to be awesome, etc. I suffered through all of them. Since I am a hobbyist, I just use Python now. Problem solved.
I've programmed in almost all of those (and several other languages/OS/hardware stacks). But as I do it for a living, and after almost 40 years, my hobby programming is very minimal now. Maybe when I retire I'll get back to writing for fun again. Or get serious about mini painting instead

I love Python, until I think about sharing code with someone else. Then the version and installed libraries issues really stink. It's often difficult to share code with other pythonistas, much less someone who isn't a coder.

For me, Python is the easiest language to share and provide support for. Even to those that are not programmers. Python is the least hassle for me.

I use python most of the time, Occasionally QB64 (which is a reimplementation of MSQB's language in a 64 bit rather than 16 bit format. It's available for Mac, WIn, and Linux...
ANd rest of it? Javascript +CSS.

I have QB64, so I can still run the old Traveller stuff I wrote in the '90s.
