C. Not C++, just C - although I have often used C++ as a "C with classes" alternative and disregarded everything else.

I don't get to use it too often, as the nails that need that specific hammer are not super common. But it is definitely the language I like the most.

TypeScript! It hits a really pragmatic sweet spot between strong typing and fast development speed. Plus being able to use the same language for both the front end and back end (and in some cases share code between them) is a huge win for productivity.
